\nThis symposium gathers a number of top cognitive linguists whose main research interests involve conceptual metaphor and metonymy theory and\/or neural theory of language at an interactive and productive series of talks and discussions.<\/p>\n
The invited speakers will present some of the most recent and prominent endeavors in this area and provide a variety of approaches to the topic. The focus will be on interdisciplinary methods of research that lead towards the building of figurative language repositories (i.e. repositories of cognitive primitives, image schemas, frames, conceptual metaphors, and metonymies), such as the most prominent MetaNet: A Multilingual Metaphor Repository <\/em>project housed at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California, or its sister project Croatian Metaphor Repository<\/em>, housed at the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics. Such repositories are a prerequisite for building a computer system capable of understanding metaphors and figurative language.<\/p>\nThe symposium will also feature a round table discussion on the methods, risks, and challenges of building such repositories.<\/p>\n
The symposium will hopefully result in the proposal of a joint multidisciplinary project to build a multilingual multilayered lexical and semantic repository that will bring together cognitive science, linguistics, computational science, and psychology with the aim of advancing artificial intelligence research.<\/p>\n
We invite scholars who feel they can contribute to the topic with a 30-minute talk as part of the invited talks session to send an abstract (up to 400 words excluding references) to Kristina Despot (kdespot@ihjj.hr<\/a>) no later than March 1st<\/sup>. The Scientific Committee will select three talks to be presented at the symposium and published in the symposium proceedings. Notification of acceptance\/rejection will be sent by March 15th<\/sup>.<\/p>\nIf you are interested in attending this event and taking part in the round table, please register via email to Ivan Pand\u017ei\u0107 (ipandzic@ihjj.hr) no later than May 1st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
\nVenue, Location and Travel Information<\/h1>\n
The symposium will be held in Zagreb, in the gorgeous Golden Hall of the Croatian Institute of History (http:\/\/www.isp.hr\/en\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n\nZagreb \u2013 city with a million hearts<\/h2>\n
The city of Zagreb, capital of Croatia, on the historic and political threshold between East and West, illustrates both the continental and Mediterranean spirit of the nation it spearheads. Zagreb is the cultural, scientific, economic, political and administrative centre of the Republic of Croatia, and is home to the Croatian Parliament, Government and President. Its favourable location between the Pannonian plain, the edge of the Alps and the Dinaric range has allowed it to become a crossing point for mass international communication.<\/p>\n
The city is protected from the cold northern winds by the mountain of Medvednica and opens up to the rest of the world thanks to a spacious plain and the Sava river. Zagreb, with a population of nearly one million, contains almost a quarter of the entire population of Croatia. Over the centuries, the city was inhabited by people coming from all over Europe; and, in recent years, by people coming from different parts of Croatia, ensuring a rich cultural life. Zagreb is a safe city whose doors are always open; a city with a tumultuous history teeming with interesting personalities;\u00a0a city that warmly invites all those who wish to get to know it, and a city that will surely fulfill your expectations. In this city, you can easily meet remarkable people, make new friends and enjoy special moments. The fa\u00e7ades of Zagreb\u2019s buildings reflect the ebb and flow of history, while its streets and squares bear witness to the coming together of the many cultures that have shaped the identity of this laid-back capital. The best thing to do is when you first arrive is to take in Zagreb\u2019s wonderful atmosphere, which, as\u00a0many claim, is only surpassed by the legendary beauty of the local womenfolk.<\/p>\n
