14th RaAM conference
Conference theme: Metaphor and Space
June 23–26, 2021
Vilnius University, Lithuania (and online)
The 14th RaAM conference addresses figurative communication in reference to space, interpreted in many different ways: from spatial linguistic expressions in one or several languages to space as a frequent source domain for numerous metaphors to the space of text and discourse, of visual, auditory and other modalities.
The final submission deadline for abstracts has been extended to 18 November 2020!
Abstracts may address all aspects of metaphor (and related) research from any perspective, including but not restricted to the following:
Metaphor in cross-cultural communication, Metaphor and Mental Space Theory, Metaphor in discourse, Multimodal metaphor, Metaphor in gesture, Metaphor and translation, Metaphor in learner language and education
You may submit abstracts for one of two different presentation formats: (1) oral presentation and (2) poster. Submit your abstracts via: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=raam14
RaAM 14 will be held on campus and online supporting greater access, equity, and sustainability in the #NewNormal. You will be able to choose between the two after your abstract is accepted.
