Meeting Description: 

This is the first Brazilian conference on metaphors in the indigenous
languages of South America. The meeting will bring together linguists,
psychologists, anthropologists, historians and researchers in other areas who
address the intrinsic relations between culture, language and cognition. The
aims of the event are to contribute to dialogue on: (a) metaphor in the
language of time and space, be it 'present time', dream time, historical or
mythological time; (b) metaphor and quantificational systems; (c) the cultural
foundations of the meanings of metaphoric expressions; (d) the application and
evaluation of cognitive theories of metaphor in the study of lesser-known
indigenous languages.
