Amsterdam, 30 August – 1 September 2018

The Metaphor Lab Amsterdam is delighted to announce that the next Metaphor Festival will take place in Amsterdam from 30 August through 1 September 2018.

The Metaphor Festival is an annual conference on the use of figurative language and other modes of figurative expression. It offers an opportunity to present and learn about research findings concerning figurative uses in different types of communication, and their cognitive, cultural, narrative, poetic, rhetorical, political, social, textual or discourse functions and effects.

Please go to http://metaphorlab.org/metaphor-festival/metaphor-festival-18/ for the full call for papers.

Deadline for submissions is 15 March.

We hope to see you in Amsterdam!
