different types of human communication, and their cognitive, cultural,
narrative, poetic, rhetorical, political, social, textual or discourse
functions and effects. Contributions to the general session of the Festival
can address the linguistic and/or literary character and use of tropes –
metaphor, metonymy, simile, oxymoron, hyperbole, litotes, punning, and irony –

other formal poetic constructions, as well as the nature of figurative signs
and devices in multi-modal or non-verbal communication.
