In what is likely to become the standard for future studies in this area, Lynne Cameron meticulously demonstrates the central role of linguistic metaphors in classroom learning - designed to lead learners to a deeper understanding of complex mathematical and scientific concepts.' James P. Lantolf, Professor of Applied Linguistics, The Pennsylvania State University. This book reports research into metaphor in use with school students. The setting for the research is a UK school and the participants are around ten years old, with their first language well established but still developing concepts and understandings. Close examination of a corpus of classroom spoken discourse reveals how metaphor is employed by their teachers, not just in explaining ideas, but, in managing and mediating the activity of the classroom and the learning of the students. Particular issues discussed include: the problems of identifying metaphors in spoken discourse, the conventionalism of metaphors in the discourse of socio-cultural groups, and how a socio-cultural approach can account for systematicity in metaphor use. 410 0$aAdvances in applied linguistics. 606 $aMetaphor 606 $2linguistics 606 $aLanguage and education 606 $aDiscourse analysis 615 0$aMetaphor. 615 0$aLanguage and education. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis. 676 $a808/.001/4 700 $aCameron$b Lynne$0254514 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454146103321 996 $aMetaphor in educational discourse$91943637 997 $aUNINA
