INFO: Finding Metaphor in Discourse
8 / 9 November 2018 at the University of Basel Finding Metaphor in Discourse. An Intensive Training for Manual and Algorithmic Approaches to Metaphor
The intensive training introduces the empirically valid annotation of metaphorical language use across different genres of discourse. Day 1 introduces the manual annotation procedure Metaphor Identification Procedure VU Amsterdam (MIPVU), supplanted by a hands-on report on a vector-based detection method. Day 2 introduces a collaborative annotation environment for qualitative and quantitative text analysis, CATMA 5.0. Two key note panels feature experts from Metaphor Research, Digital Humanities, and Cognitive Science.
Are you an MA or PhD student interested in metaphor? Is your work text-based – from linguistics or literary studies, communication and media studies, history, religious studies, law, political science, sociology – or from medicine, psychology, cognitive science, or digital humanities? Are you a metaphor-novice – or looking for new methodologies? Apply for the intensive training with a short letter of motivation by 10 October (berenike.herrmann@unibas.ch).
Participants will receive feedback on their research topics in an intercultural and interdisciplinary framework. Depending on availability, the training is also open to postdocs. Main language is English.
Venue Kollegienhaus (Main Building, Petersplatz 1) and Deutsches Seminar (German Department, Nadelberg 4), University of Basel.
The workshop is free of charge. Main meals, accommodation, or travel expenses are not included.
Organized by [J. Berenike Herrmann](/berenike-herrmann), Digital Humanities Lab, University of Basel.
