Save the Date: The Creative Power of Metaphor

#creativemetaphor  

29 – 30 March 2019 at Worcester College, Oxford, UK

Join us for a 2-day conference on the nexus between Metaphor, Linguistic
Diversity, and Creativity.

The conference will be structured around four themes. Each theme will be
introduced in a keynote lecture, and developed in a plenary round-table
discussion featuring selected panelists (see Call for Panel Participation
below). Panelists will address general questions (see Research Questions
below) as well as questions raised by the audience. Moreover, two extensive
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.
