Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce the 12th conference of RaAM – the Association for
Researching and Applying Metaphor which will be held at The Hong Kong
Polytechnic University from 27 June to 30 June 2018. The conference will be
hosted by the university’s Department of English.

The theme of RaAM12 is Metaphor across contexts and domains: from description
to application. We aim to highlight the multi-contextual and
inter-disciplinary nature of contemporary metaphor scholarship, and the
various steps along the trajectory from description to application. We hope to
provide a platform where researchers and practitioners can discuss
descriptive, theoretical, conceptual, and/or applicative aspects of their
work, across different forms, functions, contexts, and domains of metaphor use
in the social world.


We welcome contributions which address any of the following aspects of
metaphor, metonymy, and/or other forms of figurative language and thought:

- Descriptive studies
- Empirical studies
- Theoretical and conceptual research
- Evidence-based applications grounded in contemporary social concerns
- Methodological advances, particularly those which bridge the gap between
research and practice

Abstracts for oral presentations and ‘lightning’ poster presentations should
be kept to a maximum of 300 words (excluding references). Please see the
specific instructions for the abstracts for the colloquium presentations
below.

You are welcome to submit more than one contribution, but please note that you
can only be first author for one contribution.

All abstracts, as well as conference presentations/colloquium/posters, if
accepted, should be written/conducted in English.

Please also note that while you do not have to be a RaAM member to submit an
abstract, paid-up membership of RaAM is mandatory in order to register and
present at the conference.
