Meeting Description:

Following the conference Metaphor: retrospect and prospects organised in Genoa
in May 2016, the research group won a PRIN (Progetto di Ricerca di Interesse
Nazionale) award from the Italian government to further our work in the area
of Cognitive Metaphor and the intense debate surrounding it, regarding the
nature of metaphor, types of metaphor, classification of metaphors, metaphor
and psychological theory, modes of research into metaphor, including
corpus-based methodologies, concrete applications of metaphor theory to text
and multimedial analysis. Just as the theoretical domains are extremely
wide-ranging, so are the domains of application, with every area of language
having been treated − literary, conversation, advertising, politics,
classroom, art, medicine, law, economics, the world-wide web and other modes
of multimedial communication, to name but a few.

Scholars who have accepted to give a keynote lecture are:

Marc Bonhomme
Jonathan Charteris-Black
Monika Fludernik
Ray Gibbs
Zoltan Kovecses
Gerard Steen
Rita Temmerman


Call for Papers:

Papers are invited from all disciplines, including literature, linguistics,
psychology, sociology, criminology, anthropology, communication studies,
medicine, the hard and soft sciences, on any aspect of metaphor theory and its
applications. Papers are also welcome which trace the development of metaphor
theory and how developments in metaphor theory are related to more general
developments in the field of scientific discovery.
Work in progress which is already under way and which is at a stage where
progress made can provide valuable insights will also be given due
consideration.
The conference languages are English and French. When submitting their
proposal, authors should indicate which of the two conference languages they
will be delivering their paper in.

Submitting Proposals:

We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations (followed by 10 minutes for
discussion). Please send an abstract of no more than 400 words to the
Conference email address: metaphorgenoa2019 at gmail.com 

Abstracts should be sent as email attachments in .doc format and should be
named ‘Surname_Abstract_Metaphor 2019’. They should contain the following
structural elements: (a) your full name, academic position, academic
affiliation, email address, postal address, (b) a recognisable
thesis/statement or research question, (c) an explanation of the methodology,
(d) a short reference to emerging results (if applicable), (e) a list of
keywords, (f) a short list of key references (max. 5).

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 31 January 2019. Notifications of
acceptance will be sent within two weeks of receipt of a proposal.
