2023.05.11 19 Littlemore seminaras ENGThe 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.
