Meeting Description: 

We are happy to announce the 5th specialised seminar of the International Association for 
Researching and Applying Metaphor (RaAM), which will take place on 10-12 June 2015 in 
Leiden, the Netherlands. The seminar will be hosted by the Leiden University Centre for 
Linguistics (LUCL).

2014.html

The theme of the 2015 seminar is “Metaphors in/and/of Translation”. The goal of the 
seminar is to advance the study of metaphor (and other forms of figurative language) 
through the analysis of metaphors in and of translation. By considering how metaphors 
are translated in different domains of discourse (e.g., legal texts, literature, business 
communication and science), and how different tools (e.g., corpora, MIP(VU)) can be used 
to investigate real-world issues in translation theory, practice and education, the seminar 
aims to add to our understanding of metaphor as a matter of language, thought and 
communication in interlingual and intercultural settings. The seminar will promote 
multidisciplinary, cross-cultural research and collaboration and will encourage the use of 
different theoretical frameworks and research methods.

Plenary Speakers:

- Prof. Jean Boase-Beier, University of East Anglia (UK)
- Prof. Christina Schäffner, Aston University (UK)
- Dr. Dimitri Psurtsev, Moscow State Linguistic University (Russia)

The programme will combine plenary talks with a number of hands-on, real-world 
workshops. In addition, regular 20-minute paper presentations and a poster session will be 
organised.
