This volume is a tribute to our friend and colleague Philip Shaw, Professor of English linguistics at the Department of English, Stockholm University, on the occasion of his 65th birthday. The 22 contributions to this volume by friends and colleagues worldwide bear witness to Philip's academic versatility as well as his interests beyond academia. The first paper, 'Narratives of Nature in English and Swedish: Butterfly books and the case of Argynnis paphia', a genre study by Annelie Ädel and John Swales, is illustrated by Philip devoting himself to one of his favourite activities. It is followed by four other genre analyses, based on very different texts: Trine Dahl, 'Telling it Like it Is or Strategic Writing? A portrait of the economist writer', Paul Gillaerts, 'Move Analysis of Abstracts from a Diachronic Perspective: A case study', Maurizio Gotti, 'Investigating the Generic Structure of Mediation Processes', and Nils-Lennart Johannesson, 'Orrmulum: Genre membership and text organisation'. The following five papers all relate to Philip's work in the fields of English as a Second Language (ESL), English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), and English for Academic Purposes (EAP). The ESL study by Britt Erman and Margareta Lewis is titled 'Vocabulary in Advanced L2 English Speech', and ELF is represented by Beyza Björkman's 'Peer Assessment of Spoken Lingua Franca English in Tertiary Education in Sweden: Criterion-referenced versus norm-referenced assessment'. The three following papers relate to Philip's work on academic writing: Magnus Gustafsson & Hans Malmström, 'Master Level Writing in Engineering and Productive Vocabulary: What does measuring academic vocabulary levels tell us?', Akiko Okamura, 'Philip Shaw's Writing Expertise in Academic Discourse', and Diane Pecorari, 'Additional Reasons for the Correlation of Voice, Tense and Sentence Function'. The three papers to follow address issues within the fields of dialectology and sociolinguistics, representing different speech communities in the English-speaking world: Joan C. Beal, 'Tourism and the Commodification of Language', Peter Sundkvist, '"Ridiculously Country": The representation of Appalachian English in the Deliverance screenplay', and Sandra Jansen, '"I don't sound like a Geordie!": Phonological and morphosyntactic aspects of Carlisle English'. This naturally leads on to studies on World Englishes, represented by papers by Kingsley Bolton, 'World Englishes, Globalisation, and Language Worlds', Gunnel Melchers, 'The North Wind and the Sun: A classic text as data for World Englishes', Christiane Meierkord & Bridget Fonkeu, 'Of Birds and the Human Species - Communication in Migration Contexts: English in the Cameroonian migrant community in the Ruhr area', and Augustin Simo Bobda, 'The Emergence of a Standardizing Cameroon Francophone English Pronunciation in Cameroon'. The five final papers deal with a variety of linguistic topics all close to Philip's heart but not so easily accommodated into the above sections. They are: Maria Kuteeva, 'Tolkien and Lewis on Language in their Scholarly Work', Karin Aijmer and Anna Elgemark, 'The Pragmatic Markers Look and Listen in a Cross-linguistic Perspective', Magnus Ljung, 'Goddamn: From curse to byname', Christina Alm-Arvius, 'Opposites Attract', and Erik Smitterberg, 'Non-correlative Commas between Subjects and Verbs in Nineteenth-century Newspaper English'.

Since 2005, the Metaphor Festival has been an annual event at the English Department of Stockholm University. From its inception as a small internal affair, the Festival has rapidly grown to a truly international conference, drawing participants from the four corners of the earth. The Festival itself is a forum for the exchange of ideas and reports on research relating to metaphor, simile, and other types of figurative language. Both literary and linguistic approaches are welcomed, as are theoretical and applied studies. The current volume, which contains a selection of papers presented at the 2006 and 2007 Metaphor Festivals, gives an indication of the breadth of approach characteristic of the Festival. Here are papers on the differences between metaphor and metonymy, on metaphor in scriptural exegesis, on metaphor in fiction and poetry, on metaphor and translation, on the methodology of metaphor identification, and on the role of corpora in metaphor studies. Special mention should be made of the 2007 keynote lecture delivered by Zoltán Kövecses, who outlines a theory of metaphor which combines the universality of cognitive metaphor theory with the influence of culture on the realisation of metaphor in different languages.
