(1) GENERAL CFP: STOCKHOLM METAPHOR FESTIVAL
[]
The Stockholm 2011 Metaphor Festival (SMF)
Thursday 8 to Saturday 10 September
Keynotes: Ronald W. Langacker and David Punter
Call for papers
Deadline for abstract submission: 31 March 2011
The Stockholm Metaphor Festival is an annual
conference on the use of figurative language,
arranged by The Department of English at
Stockholm University. It brings together
researchers from a broad range of academic
disciplines, working within different theoretical
and methodological paradigms – literary as well
as linguistic – in a creative, internationally
oriented and friendly atmosphere. The importance
of figurative language is now generally
recognised, and the Festival offers an
opportunity to present and learn about research
findings concerning figures of speech in
different types of discourse, and their
cognitive, cultural, narrative, poetic,
rhetorical, social or textual functions.
Contributions to the Festival can address the
literary or linguistic character and use of
tropes – metaphor, metonymy, simile, oxymoron,
hyperbole, litotes, punning, and irony – or the
character and use of rhyme schemes and various
types of parallelism, as well as the nature of
communicatively effective interaction of
different kinds of figurative devices.
Each talk is allotted 30 minutes at the Festival,
roughly 20 minutes for the presentation and 10
minutes for discussion. There is also a separate
poster session that can be visited by all participants in the Festival.
Abstract guidelines: Abstracts should be written
in English, and they are expected to be about 300
to 400 words long. The abstract should have a
title, but the author’s name, academic
affiliation, and email address should be
indicated on a separate sheet, where it should
also be specified whether the abstract is
intended as a basis for a talk or for a poster
presentation. All abstracts should be emailed to
<mailto:Metaphor...@English.su.se>Metaphor...@English.su.se.
Information about acceptances will be emailed by
15 May to all scholars submitting an abstract.
A selection of papers from each Festival is
published in a peer-reviewed volume.
Conference fee: €70 for early registration, by 31 July; €90 from 1 August.

(2) METONYMY WORKSHOP
Metaphor Festival 2011 logo
Title: Workshop “Topics in metonymy”
This workshop is included in the
University of Stockholm’s 2011 Metaphor Festival
(www.english.su.se/research/metaphorfestival).
Organisers: Antonio Barcelona, Olga Blanco and
María Isabel Hernández Gomáriz (University of Córdoba, Spain)
The workshop is sponsored in part by the research
Group HUM-693 (University of Córdoba) and the
Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain,
grant to project FFI2008-04585/FILO.
Introduction and description:
Research on metonymy in cognitive linguistics and
beyond has grown remarkably since the publication
of Panther and Radden’s collection of essays
(1999) and Kövecses and Radden’s (1998) seminal
paper. Lakoff and Johnson (1980) had already
recognized its primarily conceptual nature, and
Lakoff (1987) had shown its important role in the
structuring of cognitive models and categories.
Metonymy has been shown to be a fundamental,
ubiquitous cognitive process (Barcelona 2002, in
press, in preparation) motivating the emergence
and extension of numerous conceptual prototypes
(Lakoff 1987), a great many metaphors (Goossens
2002, Barcelona 2000, Radden 2002); numerous
grammatical phenomena and constructions (for some
important recent surveys, see Brdar (2007b),
Langacker (2009), Panther, Thornburg and
Barcelona, eds. (2009), Ruiz de Mendoza and Otal
Campo (2002)), pragmatic inference patterns and
discourse understanding (Gibbs 1994: Chapter 7;
Panther and Thornburg 2003), and iconic symbols
and other types of iconicity (Barcelona 2002).
Metonymy, on the other hand, has long been
recognised to underlie innumerable lexical senses
(Darmesteter 1932, Goossens 1990, Goossens et al.
1995, Stern 1931, Taylor 1995: 127ff). A
consequence of this ubiquity is that metonymy
often operates simultaneously at various
analytical levels (Barcelona 2005; 2009).
Language, especially its grammar, is essentially
metonymic (in a broad sense; see Langacker 2009),
since it tends to underspecify, i.e. to provide a
blue-print, not only for intended meaning, but very often also, for form.
The workshop focuses on two main topics.
One of them is the discussion of the
difficulties affecting a detailed description of
metonymy and the development of a typology of
metonymy. This topic is the object of the first
section of the workshop, during which the
organiser and two members of the research group
he heads at the University of Córdoba will
present and discuss some of the results of their
ongoing research project on this topic.
The other topic is a very broad one
(“Metonymy at, under and above the lexicon”) and
it is open to contributions from any interested
scholars; it has been chosen precisely because of
its breadth with the purpose of bringing together
metonymy researchers with a wide variety of
interests and because it underscores the
multilevel use of metonymy in language.
Presentations on the operation of metonymy in any
area are welcome, but those which are
additionally relevant for any of the following
issues will be given preference:
- Metonymy across languages
- Metonymic chaining (in
lexical semantics and / or discourse)
- Metonymy in grammatical theory
Date: Saturday, September 10, 2011, 9:00 a.m. -12 p.m.
Place: University of Stockholm
