Peer reviewedPickering, John; Attridge, Steve – Research in the Teaching of English, 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)
