On Friday, September 1sth, she gave a presentation on "Climate change discourse and corpus analysis" infront of the LINGCLIM research group. She also presented "Ecolexicon", developed by her research group in Granada: http://ecolexicon.ugr.es/en/index.htm. In her own PhD project, Haddad Haddad compares the use of climate metaphors in Spanish and Arabic texts.
