Meeting Description:

Historical texts offer ample opportunities for exploring the evolution
of metaphor over time. Analyzing figurative language in historical
discourses from a diachronic perspective necessitates a critical
examination of one’s theoretical assumptions as the models applied
must account for challenges like the scarcity of linguistic data, the
ever-changing function of metaphor, and the cultural knowledge
integral to language comprehension. The focus stream aims to highlight
trends in historical metaphor research and invites ubmissions across a
broad spectrum of topics, encompassing various methodologies. We
welcome contributions that:

1. provide insights into the use of figurative language in diverse
discourses, genres, and texts across different periods;
2. investigate the evolution of figurative expressions and
metaphorical mappings;
3. examine the implicit and explicit impact of historical metaphors on
contemporary language and conceptualizations;
4. address the challenges of applying theoretical frameworks,
including Cognitive Metaphor Theory, Blending Theory, Discourse
Analysis etc., to analyze historical data.

We encourage both in-depth case studies and comprehensive
investigations using linguistic corpora, electronic dictionaries, and
lexical/conceptual databases (WordNet, FrameNet etc.) to analyze
evolution of patterns in conceptual mapping.
