Description

Explore the history and evolution of linguistic research with Developmental Perspectives on Metaphor: A Special Issue of Metaphor and Symbolic Activity. This academic work from Routledge traces the study of metaphor abilities in children from the pioneering 1960 study by Asch and Nerlove to the advancements made in recent decades. Readers will examine how early research suggested metaphor was a late-developing skill, often linked to a child's difficulty in paraphrasing metaphoric sentences without situational or narrative context. This volume provides a deep look into how the study of figurative language has changed over time, moving from early conclusions about childhood comprehension to modern research perspectives. It is a valuable resource for those studying language development, psychology, and symbolic activity.
