Favorite line heard @RaAMconf so far, from @MicheleMannoni’s paper about personification & the human-bond connection: “Cats don’t really kiss. Cats don’t have lips.” @RaAM_org #metaphor 💋

Enjoying David Ritchie’s talk about satire & metaphor @RaAMconf @RaAM_org

[Susan Nacey @NaceySusan]

Excellent presentation @RaAMconf by @juste_urbonaite: learned loads about multilayered modal metaphor. Added benefit: may never have bloating again! @RaAM_org #metaphor
