Deadline extension - MetFest19 Amsterdam

**  Deadline is extended to 31 March 23:59 (local time in Amsterdam) **

The Metaphor Festival Amsterdam takes place 28 - 31 August 2019 and 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.
