Learning and Teaching Languages: The Role of "Conceptual Fluency."

Danesi, Marcel

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, v5 n1 p3-20 1995

This article suggests that the notion of "conceptual fluency," which has been derived from the current research on the role of metaphor in language and cognition, can be used to draft a teaching curriculum around the notion that metaphor is the organizing principle of common discourse.
