Last talk of the day: metaphor clusters and deliberate metaphor in Danish and Norwegian royals' New Year's Eve speeches - greater density and variety of appeals make for more coherent snd effective speeches. #MetFest2018
Good practice in Dunja Wackers' presrentation: this is the second content slide. #MetFest2018
Conferences I wish I was at this week: #spsConf & #metfest2018 - both well worth following if you are interested in discourse
I just called out some serious mansplaining at #MetFest2018 (middle-aged man in the audience telling a female PhD student that her problem was that she didn't know what she was talking about). I'm glad that I'm old enough not to care anymore if everyone likes me.

Here's one talk that I really look forward to #MetFest2018
Bodily metaphorical depictions spread to other contexts and change their meaning with every enactment, e.g. the Usain Bolt arrow. #MetFest2018
Ray Gibbs is giving his plenary on bodily metaphorical depictions in sports celebrations, e.g. pretend shooting or dunking a basket ball after scoring a goal in football. Some are shockingly violent: SPORTS IS WAR/VIOLENCE #MetFest2018
