Metaphor analysis: theoretical and methodological challenges in using discourse data

This project focused on the particular methodological challenges of 'metaphor analysis', which refers to the identification and description of systematicity in the use of metaphors in discourse, and the inferencing from this discourse evidence to thinking, values and attitudes.

Four events were organised (with information linked):

• Data-based expert workshop (5-6 May 2006)
• Theory-based expert workshop (8-9 May 2006)
• Experimental expert workshop (11-12 July 2006)
• Open training workshop (19-20 Sep 2006)
