2nd Call for Papers:

Conference Theme: Metaphor, Technology, and Communication

The study of metaphor is bidirectionally connected to technology. In
one direction, metaphor actively shapes our conceptualization of
emerging technologies, such as in communicating and thinking about
novel technologies and scientific advances (e.g., "artificial
intelligence", "information highway", "the brain is a computer" etc).
In the other direction, emerging technologies can actively contribute
to the study of metaphor, from using big data to build computational
models of metaphor, to technology providing new means of metaphoric
expression, such as in social media and memes. This RaAM conference
theme of Metaphor and Technology encompasses the multiple ways
metaphor and technology, broadly defined, interact. We are
particularly interested in papers and posters that are related to this
broad theme, but welcome all submissions that fit the general RaAM
areas of study, including metaphor and:
 - Artificial Intelligence and/or computational modelling
 - Technological conceptualization and innovation
 - Big data
 - Scientific and technological communication
 - Embodiment and metaphor in humans vs machines
 - STEM Education
 - Expressing metaphor through technological tools (emojis, memes,
tweets)
 - Other topics

For submission instructions, please visit the conference website and
follow us on social media (@raamconf)!
