We invite any of you who are interested in figurative language to come and
join us in Lancaster on Monday 22nd July 2013 for the fifth Workshop on
Corpus-Based Approaches to Figurative Language.  A regular event held in
conjunction with the Corpus Linguistics conferences, this fifth workshop is
dedicated to the theme of Metaphor and Austerity, and has been endorsed by
