About the Journal

What is metaphorik.de?

metaphorik.de was founded in 2001 and provides a forum for academic discussion on metaphor and metonymy. The aim is an interdisciplinary and interlingual exchange that transcends the narrow boundaries of disciplinary issues.

At the center of the online project is the journal metaphorik.de.

It publishes current research articles that reflect the complexity of the use of metaphors and metonymy in language, literature and media. Theoretical, methodological and content-related diversity is the program.

In addition, new literature on metaphor and metonymy is reviewed.

In addition to broadly diversified issues, specific thematic issues are published.

A list of review copies available in the editorial office can be found here. For the formal design of the articles, please follow the format guidelines.

In addition, metaphorik.de offers

- Information on current events and conferences

- the metaphorik.de essay collection (collection of research papers already published elsewhere)

- a list of links to metaphor and metonymy

Since 2007 there has been a cooperation with Wehrhahn Verlag which produces and distributes a print version of the journal.
