The a nalysis of metaphor in different modalities, not j ust in\n written texts, elucidates the vital ties between metaphor and\n metonymy in meani ng-making. This workshop therefore integrates\n these three topics for its theme. The multiple forms of\n expression to be considered includ e written words, spoken\n language, the picto rial mode (still and moving images), sound,\n and the gestural mode. Attention will be focused on the\n multimodal use of metaphor and meton ymy in TV advertising, film,\n comics, animat ion, naturalistic spoken discourse, experimental\n settings, and foreign language teaching.\n

The workshop will feature a com bination of plenary lectures,\n introducing b asic concepts, and hands-on workshops, in which th e\n plenary speakers will guide participants in the analysis of\n materials. There will be two plenaries on the analysis of images\n an d two on gestures, and three workshops on each of the modes of\n images and gestures. The same hands-on workshops will run on\n both days so that participants may take part in two out of the \n three on each topic. There will also be ti me allotted for a\n poster session by partici pants who wish to present their own\n researc h on multimodal metaphor and/or metonymy.\n < /p>\n \n \n
