Meeting Description:

RaAM is an open community of researchers of metaphor, metonymy, and other
forms of figurative expression. The association is interdisciplinary, welcomes
a broad range of research methods, and focuses on application to real-world
contexts. RaAM conferences are therefore mainly concerned with the application
of research to metaphor and other forms of figurative language use to real
world issues.

We are pleased to announce that the 13th conference for the Association for
Researching and Applying Metaphor (RaAM) will be hosted by Inland Norway

Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (Multiling), as Centre of
Excellence at the University of Oslo. 

RaAM 2020 will be held from 18-21 June 2020 at INN’s Faculty of Education in
Hamar, Norway. Hamar is located north of Oslo (and Norway’s main international
airport, Gardermoen), one hour by train.

The theme of RaAM 2020 is Metaphorical creativity in a multilingual world.
The language of the conference is English.
