#creativemetaphor

A 2-day conference on the nexus between Metaphor, Linguistic Diversity, and Creativity.

The conference is structured around four themes. Each theme is introduced in a keynote lecture, and developed in a plenary round-table discussion featuring selected panelists. Panelists address general questions (see Research Questions below) as well as questions raised by the audience. Moreover, two extensive Poster sessions are dedicated to present specific studies related to the four themes.
