Call Deadline: 30-Apr-2016 

Meeting Description:

This workshop is part of the project “Discourses of the Nation and the
National,” which focuses on a comparative study of various aspects of the
national across multiple discourses.

The workshop seeks to discuss the intersecting fields of metaphor research and
research on “nations” and “the znational,” and the levels at which metaphor is
relevant to the study of these concepts.

We welcome different methodological approaches (e.g., explorations of
metaphors in large collections of public discourse, metaphors in corpora,
visual and multimodal metaphors, texts as metaphors / metaphors in texts,
metaphors and reflections about metaphors in research literature on nations
and nationalism, etc.) that will emphasize different aspects of metaphors in
the study of nations and the national.

Confirmed keynote speakers
Andreas Musolff (University of East Anglia)
Michael Marks (Willamette University)

Organizer
Discourses of the Nation and the National

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only).

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 eLinguistics 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.
