Meeting Description:

The 7th International Symposium on Figurative Thought and Language
(FTL 7) will be organised by the Department of Modern Languages at the
University of Genoa. Following the previous biannual meetings, which
have gathered scholars working on the broad spectrum of figuration,
the theme of this year’s meeting is Cognitive, bodily, and cultural
processes in Figurative Thought and Language.

We invite contributions from different theoretical (cognitive
linguistics, cognitive science, neuroscience, cognitive psychology,
cognitive anthropology), methodological (experimental protocols,
cross-linguistic comparison, synchronic and diachronic analyses,
corpus studies, quantitative and qualitative analyses), and applied
perspectives dealing with the role of figuration in motivating
linguistic phenomena and conceptual processes.

Suggested topics include (but are not restricted to):

role of figuration in morphology, syntax, lexis, semantics,
pragmatics;

role of figuration in grammar (grammatical constructions, grammatical
categories, parts-of-speech);

role of figuration in grammaticalization;

role of figuration in synchronic and diachronic language change and
variation;

figurative elaboration of perceptual stimuli;

figuration in different types of discourse (e.g., business, media,
literature, law, politics, science, sports, religion, psychotherapy,
etc.);

cognitive stylistics

corpus-based approaches to figuration;

experimental protocols, quantitative and statistical analyses of
figurative mechanisms;

cultural variation of figurative mechanisms;

emotional aspects of figurative language;

development of figurative language in first and second language
acquisition;

figuration in artificial intelligence;

figuration in gestures and sign languages;

multimodal figuration in images, music, cultural artifacts and
practices;
