Scope of the conference
Mind, language and metaphor is a new conference series that will explore
the role of metaphor and metonymy in language and thought. This first
conference will consider points of convergence between three major
fields of contemporary research: figurative language, imagination and
consciousness. It will consider such questions as: the role of conscious
and unconscious processes in metaphor production and interpretation; the
role of 'seeing as' in the development of consciousness; interactions
between imagination, perception and cognition; and how bodily and neural
processes create and constrain the imagination. The aim is to generate a
new understanding of the relationship between consciousness and the
imagination. Cross-linguistic data and research into all European
languages is particularly encouraged.
The conference is open to researchers world-wide, whether from industry
or academia. Participation will be limited to 100. The emphasis will be
on discussion about new developments. The conference fee covers
registration, full board and lodging. Grants will be available, in
particular for nationals under 35, from EU or Associated States.
