Gerard Steen

Gerard Steen started out as a student of English Language and Literature, then turned into a student of poetics in which he took his PhD in 1992 from VU University, and then became a Discourse Analyst, which has been his main identity since 1993. He is interested in the relation between language and discourse, particularly in connection with metaphor and genre analysis. He has developed a new theory of metaphor called Deliberate Metaphor Theory, and a genre-analytical map for discourse studies in relation to language use.

From 1 January 2015, Prof.Steen has worked as professor of Language and Communication (‘Taalbeheersing’) at the University of Amsterdam. Before then he held chairs at the VU University Amsterdam in Language and Communication (2013-2014) and in Language Use and Cognition (2007-2013). Prior to that he had positions as lecturer at VU University Amsterdam and the University of Tilburg, and as an instructor at the University of Utrecht.He has led an NWO Vici programme on metaphor in discourse (2005-2010) and an Open Competition programme on visual metaphor (2009-2014). Steen is also chair of the Board of the Netherlands National Graduate School of Linguistics (LOT).

Prof. Steen conducts research into figurative meaning in language and communication. He has developed various methods for the identification and analysis of metaphor, drawing on social science techniques to test their reliability. Currently, Steen is also working on building an interdisciplinary metaphor processing model that will combine approaches from the fields of linguistics (structural-functional grammar, cognitive linguistics, relevance theory), psychology (psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, social psychology) and the social sciences (communication science).

CONFERENCE VENUE

Boğaziçi University currently has several campuses in the city. The main Campus Area is located in Rumeli Hisarüstü. There are four campuses on this main campus area: South Campus, North Campus, Hisar Campus and Uçaksavar Campus. Many of the University’s buildings are located on its South Campus, with the Bosphorus and the historical castle of Rumelihisar as its boundary to the east. All IDEA conference events are going to take place in the South Campus.

 

Map Bosphorus

Transportation for Istanbul

The public transportation system of Istanbul is constantly growing and developing with the city and you can use public busses, subway, tram, train, taxi, boat and minibuses to get around the city.

Boğaziçi University is not very far from Taksim (city center) and there are several options to get to the Main Campus. To reach the university you can use either the upper road or the lower/coastal road.

Lower, Coastal Road: The Bebek gate (South Gate) intersects the coastal road in Bebek. The University is built on a hill, the climb is very steep, and also because of the length of the coastal road the buses are not that frequent. Therefore we recommend that you use this route, if your hotel is on the coast of Bosphorus, or you want to go to the north of the city or you would like to enjoy the beautiful view of Bosphorus.

Upper road: This is the most frequently used road and the last three stops of the bus lines to Rumeli Hisarüstü and Boğaziçi University Metro Station are located just before the gates of the three campuses (North, South and Hisar). We recommend that you use this route to get to the university. Subway and buses are the easiest and most economical way of traveling to the Boğaziçi University.

For more information about public transportation you can always check the Istanbul public transportation website: www.iett.gov.tr/en/index.php
