Meeting Description:

The Association for Researching and Applying Metaphor (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 15th Researching and Applying Metaphor
Conference (RaAM15) will be hosted by the University of Bialystok (Poland). It
is scheduled to take place 21-24 September 2022 in an online format. The
online part is going to be hosted via Zoom.


2nd Call for Papers:

We welcome papers that address all aspects of metaphor (and related) research
from any perspective, including but not restricted to the following:
Metaphor in cross-cultural contexts (translation, metaphor variation, etc.),
metaphor in politics (COVID-19 pandemic, environmental changes, social changes
etc.), metaphor in education, metaphor in discourse (medical, legal, media,
etc.)
Abstracts for oral presentations, theme sessions, ‘work in progress’ talks,
and poster presentations should be no longer than 400 words (excluding
references) and should include:
- a title.
- clearly articulated research question(s) and its/their relevance to the
conference theme.
- the most essential details about research approach, data, and methods.
- if possible, (preliminary) results and their interpretation.

You may apply for one of the following:
* paper presentations (single or multiple authors): 20-minute talk + 5-minute
Q&A.
* theme sessions: 90/180-minute theme-based panels. Proposals should include
the title, explanation of the session(s) and 3 or more abstracts (of 300-400
words each; outlining each part of the session). After the theme session
proposal is accepted, individual authors should submit their abstracts via
EasyChair for double-blind peer review.

* Poster presentation (single or multiple authors): 2-minute presentation.
Please note that instructions will be sent upon acceptance.
* Lightning round/work in progress: 3-minute presentation. Instructions will
be sent upon acceptance.

Abstracts for talks and poster presentations should be submitted through
EasyChair. If you have not already done so, you will be prompted to set up an
EasyChair account.
Our submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=raam15.
Theme session proposals and lightning round talks should be sent by e-mail to
raam15[at]uwb.edu.pl.
All submissions are anonymously reviewed by the Program Committee.

While the conference proper will begin in the early afternoon of 21 September,
we will also host hands-on pre-conference workshops in the morning. If you are

raam15[at]uwb.edu.pl. The submission deadline is 31 December 2021.
