This is exciting! Looking forward to having a read of all the chapters in this book. Metaphor research really is an interdisciplinary endeavour! @RaAM_org @Eng_Lang_UoB
The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Delusion is an incredible resource, superbly edited by @Ema_SB. Also contains my chapter with @JeannetteL16 , where we open up new transdisciplinary lines of enquiry across phenomenology and linguistics! https://t.co/x9gF6SYgEf

Really enjoyed talking to teachers at @UoBSchool with Katy Lockett about accommodating pupils who are new to English. There’s little that is more fun than talking to a bunch of teachers because they participate ENTHUSIASTICALLY in ALL the activities 😍
