This volume presents results from a corpus-based investigation into the metaphorical production of foreign language learners, comparing texts written by Norwegian (L2) learners of English with those written by British (L1) students. Three types of questions are addressed. The first has empirically measured answers: For example, do L2 English writers produce more metaphors than L1 novice writers? How frequent are novel metaphors in an L2, as compared with an L1? The second type has more subjective answers: How creatively do L2 English learners employ metaphor? Are they even expected to be able to produce metaphor at all? The third type combines theoretical and methodological perspectives: How is metaphorical creativity identified? What is the potential role of metaphoric competence? Most importantly, how are metaphors identified? To this end, the newly-developed ‘Metaphor Identification Procedure’ is tested and critiqued. This book is intended for metaphor researchers, corpus linguists, applied linguists and language educators.

This book is a handy reference for anyone wanting to help other people with their American English. It contains examples of trouble spots frequently encountered by non-native speakers. Metaphors are particularly puzzling to a new learner. This book identifies and explains over 3,000 such idiomatic expressions, arranged for easy reference by any language coach or teacher. Non-natives learning English sometimes do not realize the impact of their use of American four-letter words in mixed company. We list here over five dozen minced oaths and masked swear words that are safer alternatives to use in most circumstances. We have also included a list of over 200 similes which a learner may encounter in talking, reading, and using media such as television. The section on homophones provides backup for countless possible discussions about sound changes in American English. The learner expecting only five vowels is in for a puzzling surprise. More like ten different vowel sounds will be detected by a good mimic. Then the puzzle gets worse, as English is full of glides which differ depending upon the native user's dialect. We don't have the answer for this dilemma, short of a course in English phonology. But we provide here a list of over 300 homophone pairs for reference whenever such a discussion comes up. There is also a useful list of over 150 pairs of antonyms, words with opposite meanings. We do not include the more easily learned pairs such as conformist/non-conformist or American/un-American, but instead list the more difficult pairs, from absent/present to tomorrow/yesterday or X-axis/Y-axis. Teachers of advanced learners can create lots of discussion by referring to our unique list which we call Frozen Pairs. It is a sample of speech rigidity which is hard to defend or explain; by agreement it is "just that way." For example, why do we typically say to put on our shoes and socks when that sequence is not logical? If learners do use the non-typical order, you might use this list to help them avoid "sounding like foreigners". Learners are also likely to hear many phrases in ordinary speech that were not readily classified in any of the above groups. We have listed almost 100 of these under Other Expressions. Then, our eclectic collection of folk wisdom gives nearly 200 opportunities for discussions in American English on a variety of topics. In individual tutoring or in group classes, any single one of these sayings can trigger enthusiastic and revealing discussions which may well prove to be cross-culturally interesting for all concerned. Finally, we have included a section on palindromes, words or phrases which read the same backwards and forwards. After all your effort helping others, you might like to relax and use this as your own challenge. It is definitely not for learners, but just for your own use.

In Contemporary Metaphor Theory (CMT) research has predominantly focused on the English language with few studies of others and even less systematic comparative work. This volume focuses on the discourse domain of LEARNING (formal, technical and informal aspects) and brings together a variety of language perspectives, some specifically comparative, on aspects of learning from historical transformations in metaphoric language use through contemporary social values and classroom discourse to planning for the future in educational policy to see how conceptual metaphoric patterns and conventional metaphors with related figurative language impact on social values and culturally conditioned perspectives in learning. Most papers reflect Lakoffian conceptual metaphoric research including critical evaluation of analytical issues. Languages included are Arabic, Chinese, English, Hungarian, Japanese, Malay, Polish, Russian and the South African language area. Most papers utilize extensive data including such genre as technical writing, essays, conversational interaction, newspaper corpus and proverbs.

'Metaphor in Educational Discourse is a superb piece of applied linguistics research that integrates Vygotsky's theory of concepts with current work on metaphor into a coherent framework for investigating how teachers and learners negotiate figurative language in order to promote development in the classroom setting. 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.

The author uses insights from empirical research to evaluate current teaching practices against this background, highlighting readers' responses to metaphor as a test case.

Metaphors show students how to make connections between the concrete and the abstract, prior knowledge and unfamiliar concepts, and language and image. But teachers must learn how to use metaphors and analogies strategically and for specific purposes, helping students discover and deconstruct effective comparisons. Metaphors & Analogies is filled with provocative illustrations of metaphors in action and practical tips.

"Conventional metaphorical expressions are widely used by native speakers in everyday language and have received extensive attention in theoretical semantics and cognitive linguistics. However, how a second language learner can acquire those expressions is left largely unknown. Researchers and language learners face the question: if one has acquired the literal meaning of a word, can they automatically derive the metaphorical meaning? This book provides the answer by placing the question of acquisition of metaphorical expressions in the framework of bilingual lexicon. Assessing whether metaphorical expressions are taken for granted by second language learners, it explores how the metaphorical meaning(s) of a word should be connected in a learner's mental lexicon, and how the cross-linguistic availability of a metaphorical expression could affect the outcome of acquisition of that expression. The book also provides a detailed comparison between metaphorical expressions and other figurative language from both the theoretical and experimental perspectives."--Bloomsbury publishing.
