Date: 25-Mar-2012 From: Paul Peranteau <paulbenjamins.com> Subject: New Editorial Team at Metaphor Bibliography E-mail this message to a friend John Benjamins Publishing is pleased to announce a new editorial team at the online Bibliography of Metaphor and Metonymy The new team is headed by Editors: Antonio Barcelona Sánchez (Cordoba, Spain) and Francisco J. Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez (La Rioja, Spain) The online Bibliography of Metaphor and Metonymy offers a research tool for anyone interested in figurative language. Metaphor and metonymy play an important role in language use in everyday life and communication. Their study is by nature interdisciplinary. This instrument is therefore relevant to a broad audience, including (but not limited to) those working in linguistics, anthropology, cross-cultural studies, communication studies, lexicology, pragmatics and discourse, rhetoric, stylistics, artificial intelligence, philosophy, translation studies, literary studies and cognitive sciences. MetBib strives to cover the whole range of publications on the topic, including articles, books, and electronic resources, from a wide variety of countries and languages. Each publication has a full bibliographic description and keywords, and many have abstracts. MetBib now also provides CrossRef DOIs, where available, for easier linking to source materials (NB. access to sources is not included and depends on whether you/your library subscribes to a source). The bibliography is updated annually. The current release mainly includes data from 1990 onwards, but it also includes around 600 entries from before this date. In total, MetBib contains approx. 11,000 records. This online bibliography has a range of options for easy searching and smooth navigation through an advanced and stylized application, with which users of Benjamins' Translation Studies Bibliography and Bibliography of Pragmatics are already familiar. The bibliography is available on a subscription basis, with stand-alone or site licenses. For more information, follow the link ''Subscription & Price'' in the top navigation bar. Website: http://www.benjamins.com/online/met/ A free 90-day trial subscription is available; to apply please follow the link ''Trial'' in the top navigation bar on the website. Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; Pragmatics This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.
