4th International Seminar on Metaphor and Discourse
The IV International Seminar on Metaphor and Discourse will focus especially on the New Cognitive Domains in the 21st Century, but all aspects of metaphor in discourse are objects of study and debate in the Seminar. Following previous editions, the IV International Seminar on Metaphor and Discourse will be held at Universitat Jaume I (UJI), Castelló de la Plana, Spain (3 -4 December 2015).
Contributions are encouraged on all aspects of metaphor and discourse studies, departing from the basic tenets on conceptual metaphor theory already set by landmark publications like Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) up to the more recently emergent trends that deal with the study of metaphor in discourse and thought.
Our aim is to bring together specialists and researchers involved in these research matters in order to discuss recent contributions to the field, as well as to open new debates about the relevance of metaphor in discourse.
The following speakers have so far accepted the invitation to participate in the seminar:
– Dr. Gerard Steen (University of Amsterdam)
– Dr. Elena Semino (University of Lancaster)
– Dr. Zoltán Kövecses (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest)
