Talk on metaphors in Münster

I will give a talk on "Metaphern und Denkmuster: Empirische Methoden zur Bestimmung sprachlicher und konzeptueller Übertragungen" at the conference Das Faszinosum Metapher. Erwerb – Bedeutung – Struktur – Funktion und Verstehen eines komplexen Phänomens aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive from December 8th to 10th in Münster.

Today I started as a postdoc at the University of Hamburg. My new location is now the "Phil-Turm" at Von-Melle-Park 6.

I have been elected as a board member of the GCLA/DGKL (German Cognitive Linguistics Association - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kognitive Linguistik). I feel honored and I am looking forward to two years of service for the German Cognitive Linguistics Association.
