I am professor emeritus of Language and Communication ('Taalbeheersing') in the Department of Dutch Studies. I previously held chairs at VU University Amsterdam in Language and Communication (2013-2014) and in Language Use and Cognition (2007-2013). I have recently launched a new web site entirely dedicated to my theory of metaphor called Deliberate Metaphor Theory, or DMT, at https://metaphorinaction.nl. My most recent theoretical contribution to DMT can be found here: The Ambiguity of Metaphor: How Polysemy Affords Multivalent Metaphor Use and Explains the Paradox of Metaphor
