Call for Papers:

The Research Laboratory Babel at the University of Toulon, France, is pleased
to announce an international conference on Metaphor and Translation in
collaboration with the University of Montreal, Canada, to be held at Toulon on
1-2 June 2017.

The conference invites proposals for papers which investigate how a metaphor
may be transferred from one language to another or from one semiotic system to
another, (for example, in literature or in the cinema). Metaphor may be
regarded from the point of view of language, (conventional metaphors,
phraseology), style (creative metaphor) or conceptual fields (cognitive
metaphor). It may be in relation to a text, an author, a field of activity or
a cultural aspect. Corpora may include literary texts, political discourse,
technical terminology, recent creations in the media or in social networks, as
well as the discussion of theories about the  transmission of ideas from one
language to another through the medium of metaphor.

Metaphor has been studied in stylistics, rhetoric and discourse analysis, from
the point of view of linguistic structures, semantics, morphology and syntax,
as well as in translation studies. It is hoped that its study through the
medium of translation will offer new approaches in these different fields.

An abstract of max. 300 words (without references), as well as your title and
affiliation, should be sent by 31 December 2016 to: metrad at univ-tln.fr
