Metaphor Analysis: Data-based expert workshop
Date: 5th - 6th May 2006
Venue: University of Leeds
Aim: to identify key issues for metaphor analysis of discourse data in social science research.
Organisation: Talks will start from discourse data and speakers will explain their methods and the empirical problems that arise from doing their analyses. The list of problems and issues will be compiled as we proceed. We will also compile a list of data sets, techniques, media, and publications.
