Call for papers - conference Metaphor Festival Amsterdam 2019

The Metaphor Lab Amsterdam is delighted to announce that the next 
Metaphor Festival will take place in Amsterdam from 28 - 31 August 2019.

The Metaphor Festival is an annual conference on the use of figurative 
language and other modes of figurative expression, such as multimodal or 
non-verbal communication. It offers an opportunity to present and learn 
about research findings concerning the structures, functions, and 
effects of figurative language in different types of human 
communication. Contributions to the Festival can address tropes such as 
metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole and irony.

ABSTRACT GUIDELINES
 > Word limit: Abstracts should be 300 words maximum and should be 
written in English (please provide glosses or translations for examples 
in other languages).
 > Structure: Abstracts reporting on empirical data should have four 
sections: introduction, methods, findings, and conclusions. Abstracts 
providing a purely theoretical or philosophical contribution should have 
three sections: introduction, main argument, and conclusions.
 > Take-home message: All abstracts should end with a one-sentence 
take-home-message.
 > Double-blind review: Authors need to make sure that their identities 
cannot be retrieved from the abstract itself, and should include blind 
reference to their work that is not yet publicly available (i.e., papers 
in press, under review and. or in preparation).

Deadline for submission is 15 March. The online submission system will 
be open as of 1 February.
