The fifth workshop by Prof Jeannette Littlemore, University of Birmingham will take place on Wednesday 17th May at auditorium No 10. The link to join the workshop online:https://bit.ly/418BCPl

In this workshop, we explore how children engage in metaphorical thinking when making sense of concepts relating to time, number and music. We compare their responses to those made by adults. Students will be invited to analyse the methods that are used to address this research question. The findings from this work provide insights int the important role played by metaphor in abstract thinking and the ways in which it develops in children.

The forth workshop by Prof Jeannette Littlemore, University of Birmingham will take place on Tuesday 16th May at Computer classroom No 13. The link to join the workshop online: https://bit.ly/3HINL6S 

In this workshop we look at studies that have investigated the factors that shape people’s responses to creative and conventional metaphor and metonymy in the context of advertising and beyond. We look at the research methods employed and identify features that appear to affect the extent to which metaphor and metonymy can be considered persuasive. We explore cross-cultural variation in response to metaphors in advertising. We discuss in detail work that we have conducted in collaboration with an advertising agency that led to the refinement of a live advertising campaign.

The third workshop by Prof Jeannette Littlemore, University of Birmingham will take place on Monday, 15th May at Computer classroom No 13. The link to join the workshop online: https://bit.ly/3p7ZOE9

In this workshop we explore the ways in which the discourse community can shape the ways in which metaphor and metonymy are used. We illustrate this with reference to three studies: one exploring the use of metaphor and metonymy in a children’s football club, one exploring their use in a children’s nursery, and one exploring their use in an academic setting. Students will look at examples of figurative language use in all three communities and explore their forms and functions.

The second workshop by Prof Jeannette Littlemore, University of Birmingham will take place on Friday, 12th May at Computer classroom No 13. The link to join the workshop online: https://bit.ly/3Vyy8ob

In this workshop we turn to the creative use of metonymy and challenge the idea that metonymy cannot be used for creative purposes. We analyse instances of metonymy in different forms of expression (both linguistic and visual including in text messaging) and explore the ways in which it used creatively and the reasons why people choose to use it in this way.
