Call for Papers: Special Issue ''Metaphor and Migration''

The special issue of the international journal metaphorik.de seeks to
contribute to understanding the (current) discourse(s) about refugees and
migrants by revealing underlying conceptualizations of, and attitudes towards,
the geographical movements and the people involved. In order to better
understand discussions of migration, immigration and refugees, the special
issue ''Metaphor and Migration'' will examine the use of metaphor and/or
metonymy in different discourse types. 

We invite contributions that investigate how migration, including refugees and
immigrants, is represented and conceptualized metaphorically or metonymically
in any type of discourse (such as political discourse or discourse in
different media/social media).

Abstracts of 300-500 words in length (excluding references) should clearly
indicate the scope of research, methodology, and (expected) results. Please
submit your abstract by August 15th, 2017 to info at metaphorik.de. Authors will
be notified of the acceptance/rejection of their proposal in September 2017.
The entire paper will be due by January 31st, 2018. The final version of the
submitted papers will be published in the special issue of metaphorik.de in
June 2018.

Metaphorik.de is an international journal that strives to promote scientific
exchange about topics concerning metaphor and metonymy. The online version of
metaphrik.de is an open access journal which contributes to the accessibility
of current research. While the editorial team perceives of metaphorik.de
primarily as an online journal, we also offer a print version of all issues
for purchase. Metaphorik.de advocates interdisciplinary perspectives on
metaphor and metonymy. We therefore explicitly welcome contributions that are
not limited to the field of linguistics. Researchers in the areas of cultural
studies or sociology, for example, are also encouraged to contribute to the
special issue on migration and metaphor or to our journal in general (see our
homepage at http://www.metaphorik.de/en for more information).

Important dates: 

- Submission of abstracts: August 15th, 2017
- Notification of acceptance of proposal: September 2017
- Submission of full-text papers: January 31st, 2018
- Notification of acceptance of full-text papers: March 31st, 2018
