METONYMY

Call for papers
Contributions are encouraged on all aspects of metaphor and metonymy studies, with special
emphasis on the interrelation between
two approaches, on the one hand, the well known cognitive theory of metaphor initiated by Lakoff and Johnson
(1980) and similar approaches that deal
with the role of conceptual mappings in thought, language and culture; and, on the other hand, the recently emergent
trend that deals with metaphor and
metonymy phenomena at the level of discourse and their role in text coherence, text development, and social
interaction. Our aim is to bring together specialists and researchers involved
in these research matters in order to
discuss recent and new contributions to the field, as well as to open new debates about the relevance of
conceptual mappings in relation to
thought, language, and discourse analysis.
