Ibérica's special issue on "Metaphor and Metonymy in Science and Technology" -
Fall 2017

Ibérica is the Journal of the European Association of Languages for Specific
Purposes (AELFE). It is a peer-reviewed open access journal published
biannually, covered by the most important international databases, directories
and index lists such as:

- Social Sciences Citation Index
- Social Scisearch
- Journal Citation Reports/ Social Sciences Edition
- Arts and Humanities Citation Index
- FECYT, Calidad de Revistas Científicas Españolas
- CINDOC, DOAJ, ERIH, ISOC, LATINDEX, LLBA, 
- MLA International Bibliography, and MLA List of Periodicals, among others.

As guest editors of a Special Issue of Ibérica, we invite you to submit
article, book review and interview proposals on the topic "Metaphor and
Metonymy in Science and Technology"

The proposal for this special issue on scientific and technical metaphor and
metonymy responds to the need for further research on this powerful cognitive
mechanism of language and thought in LSP. Since the very beginning, scientists
and technicians have been making use of metaphor and metonymy to design new
concepts, to construct mental models to support their conceptual system, and
to explain new theories that are difficult to explain to the rest of the
scientific community. The unfolding of scientific and technical language
provides relevant information of the role of metaphor in science and
technology, and takes us up into the very origin of scientific thought. 

During the last 30 years, the development of cognitive science has opened up
new perspectives into the field and the study of metaphor in literature and in
general language has made great progress. Recently, there is a growing
awareness of the pervasive presence of metaphor in scientific thought and
language; however, specific research on metaphor and metonymy in scientific
and technical discourse remains an open field to be explored from different
perspectives. Newer theoretical frameworks, such as those provided by the
Generative Lexicon or by other lexical or syntactic theories, multimodal
approaches, and cross-linguistic and cross-cultural studies of metaphor and
metonymy represent different aspects to analyse within cognitive and social
studies that would benefit from more research. 

The scope of this issue on "Metaphor and Metonymy in Science and Technology"
includes :

- All engineering fields
- Physical, Earth and Planetary Sci.,
- Life, Health and Medical Sci.,
- Social, Behavioural and Information Sci.,
- Physical activity and Sports Sci.,

- All proposals (abstracts and full manuscripts) should be submitted to any of

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
