Join us for a 2-day conference on the nexus between Metaphor, Linguistic

discussion featuring selected panelists (see Call for Panel Participation
below). Panelists will address general questions (see Research Questions

Poster sessions will be dedicated to present specific studies related to the
four themes (see Call for Poster Presentations). Please note that by popular
demand we extended the deadline for the CfP until 7 November.

The output of the conference will consist of a series of edited videoclips
featuring the debates, which will be broadcasted on the Creative
Multilingualism website and disseminated on relevant video channels and social
media.
