Viewpoints: Metaphor and Monsters--Children's Storytelling.

Pickering, John; Attridge, Steve

Research in the Teaching of English, v24 n4 p415-40 Dec 1990

Examines the role of metaphor and narrative in the interpretive organization of feelings and knowledge, especially in children. Looks at a particular case of figurative speech--a child's storytelling--to show how imaginative narrative may carry important clues about the child's inner world of experience. (MG)
