Meeting Description: 

The two-day conference Metaphor 2017: Cognitive and Stylistic Approaches to
Metaphors and Metaphor Studies will take place on 21-22 September 2017 at the
University of Cagliari, Department of Philology, Literature and Linguistics.

The keynote lectures will be given by Zoltán Kövecses (Eötvös Loránd
University, Budapest) and Catherine Resche (Université Panthéon-Assas Paris
2). A workshop on metaphor typology, identification and annotation will be
held in English and French. Six scholars in the fields of English Linguistics
and General Linguistics will present their research.

The conference is the first event organised by a multi-disciplinary and
multi-language research group composed of scholars from Genoa, Turin and
Cagliari and from other Italian and international universities examining new
perspectives on metaphor studies.

The conference is funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and
Research (MIUR) (PRIN Project, 2015 Call, granting no. 2015YHYWSH) and by
Poetics And Linguistics Association (PALA), and is held under the auspices of
the University of Cagliari and of Associazione Italiana di Anglistica (AIA)
(Italian Association of English Studies).

For further information, please see the full programme and the conference
committees on the conference website.
