different types of human communication, and their cognitive, cultural,

functions and effects. Contributions to the general session of the Festival

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.
