Original Posting: 
The 5th International Conference on Figurative Thought and Language (FTL5)
will take place at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridsky”. It continues the
tradition of regular forums for the discussion of links between figurative
thought and language started at previous events in Thessaloniki-Greece (2014),
Pavia-Italy (2015), Osijek-Croatia (2017) and Braga-Portugal (2018).

Cognitive linguistics has had from its very inception as its buzzwords
conceptual metaphors and metonymies, image schemas and blending. These
signposts gave rise to new topics and methodologies which are gradually
pushing conceptual metaphors and metonymies out of the limelight opening the
stage for vigorous research into how conceptual metaphors and metonymies
interact and motivate grammatical structures, discourse types, communication
processes, and overall structuring of human knowledge and behaviour.
