Directory         1.    Paul Peranteau, Benjamins Call for Book Proposals on Metaphor Message 1: Benjamins Call for Book Proposals on Metaphor Date: 03-Jun-2010 From: Paul Peranteau <paulbenjamins.com> Subject: Benjamins Call for Book Proposals on Metaphor E-mail this message to a friend The editor of the new book series Metaphor in Language, Cognition and Communication invites submissions for book proposals on metaphor from scholars working in the humanities and the cognitive or social sciences. Book manuscripts on related phenomena such as analogy, metonymy, irony and humor may also be proposed, provided they can be seen as related to mainstream interdisciplinary research on metaphor. Inquiries and submissions can be sent via email to: (Gj.steenlet.vu.nl) Or by regular post to: Prof dr Gerard Steen Department of Language and Communication Faculty of Arts VU University Amsterdam P.O. Box 7161 1007 MC Amsterdam Netherlands Metaphor in Language, Cognition, and Communication Editor: Gerard J. Steen, VU University Amsterdam ISSN: 2210-4836 The aim of the series is to publish theoretical and empirical interdisciplinary research on the effective use of metaphor in language and other modalities (including, for instance, visuals) for general or specific cognitive and communicative purposes. The series also invites proposals for inter-cultural and cross-cultural studies of metaphor in language, cognition, and communication. Room will be given as well to publications on related phenomena, such as analogy, metonymy, irony, and humor, as long as they are approached from a comparable perspective. The scope of series comprises approaches from the humanities and the social and cognitive sciences, including philosophy, cultural studies, linguistics, cognitive science, communication science, media studies, and discourse analysis. More focused attention may be paid to the role of metaphor in the domains of religion, literature and the arts, the media, politics, organization and management, law, economics, health, education, and science. http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/t_seriesview.cgi?series=MiLCC Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Discourse Analysis Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 04-Jun-2010       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
