The editors of the journal Style invite essays for a special issue on
cognitive approaches to metaphor and other figures of speech.
For this special issue, scheduled as volume 36, number 3 (Fall 2002),
the editors plan to bring together essays from scholars in several
fields, especially linguistics, rhetoric, and literary study.
Contributions are welcome that involve either theoretical discussions of
the powers and limitations of the cognitive approach or applications of
it to figures of speech as they feature in literary works or other forms
of discourse. Essays appearing in the issue may be written with a
specific linguistic, rhetorical, or literary audience in mind. That is,
the essays need not be written for a general audience but may instead
address an issue in conceptual or cognitive metaphor within the
framework of the author's discipline.
If readers of this list know of any colleagues or students who would be
likely contributors to this issue as well, the editors would appreciate
their passing this information on to them. And they are certainly
welcome to suggest names of others whom the editors might directly
invite.
Essays should be 5,000 to 9,000 words. Please submit three copies,
accompanied by a 150-word abstract and following the Modern Language
Association's conventions for documentation. The deadline for
submissions is 15 January 2002.
Submissions or correspondence concerning submissions should be addressed
to Donald E. Hardy, at dhardy@niu.edu, or at Department of English,
Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL 60115-2854.
