Meeting Description:

The Metaphor Lab Amsterdam is delighted to announce that the next Metaphor
Festival will take place in Amsterdam from 30 August 30 through 1 September
2018.

The Metaphor Festival is an annual conference on the use of figurative
language and other modes of figurative expression. It offers an opportunity to
present and learn about research findings concerning figurative uses in
different types of human communication, and their cognitive, cultural,
narrative, poetic, rhetorical, political, social, textual or discourse
functions and effects. Contributions to the general session of the Festival
can address the linguistic and/or literary character and use of tropes –
metaphor, metonymy, simile, oxymoron, hyperbole, litotes, punning, and irony –
or the character and use of rhyme schemes, various types of parallelism and
other formal poetic constructions, as well as the nature of figurative signs
and devices in multi-modal or non-verbal communication.


Call for Papers:                             

Amsterdam, 30 August – 1 September 2018

Contributions to the general session of the Festival can address the
linguistic and/or literary character and use of tropes – metaphor, metonymy,
simile, oxymoron, hyperbole, litotes, punning, and irony – or the character
and use of rhyme schemes, various types of parallelism and other formal poetic
constructions, as well as the nature of figurative signs and devices in
multi-modal or non-verbal communication.

Abstract Guidelines:

Abstracts should be 300 words maximum and should be written in English (please
provide glosses or translations for examples in other languages).

Abstracts reporting on empirical data should have four sections: introduction,
methods, findings, and conclusions. Abstracts providing a purely theoretical
or philosophical contribution should have three sections: introduction, main
argument, and conclusions.

All abstracts should end with a one-sentence take-home-message. Authors need
to make sure that their identities cannot be retrieved from the abstract
itself, and should include blind reference to their work that is not yet
publicly available (i.e., papers in press, under review and. or in
preparation).

Submission:

Deadline for submission is 15 March. The online submission system will be open
as of 15 January.
