Description	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. Not only in linguistics, the ubiquity of metaphor is a well-established fact. This seminar will acquaint students with conceptual metaphor theory – arguably the most widely accepted theory of metaphor – and its extensions (cultural model and blending theory). The course will, for the most part, follow Kövecses (2010), and cover, inter alia, the basic concepts of conceptual metaphor theory, the universality of metaphors vs. cultural specificity, and metaphoric systems. Students will be asked to do their own metaphor analyses and present their findings in class.
