Mackenzie, Jim – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2018
This paper takes up Shannon Rodgers' 2016 critique of curriculum writers' call for observable verbs ("Minding our metaphors in education."

With the growth in popularity of young adult (YA) literature over the past few decades, novels such as John Knowles's 1959 classic "A Separate Peace" deserve to be analyzed for typical YA themes, such as sexuality, identity, dysfunctional family units, and coming of age motifs. This paper evaluates "A Separate Peace" from a…

Burns, Patrick; McCormack, Teresa; Jaroslawska, Agnieszka J.; O'Connor, Patrick A.; Caruso, Eugene M. – Cognitive Science, 2019
Human languages typically employ a variety of spatial metaphors for time (e.g., "I'm looking forward to the weekend"). The metaphorical grounding of time in space is also evident in gesture. The gestures that are performed when talking about time bolster the view that people sometimes think about regions of time as if they were locations…

Nwokah, Evangeline E.; Hernandez, Vanessa; Miller, Erin; Garza, Ariana – American Journal of Play, 2019
Language play is a key component of many children's popular graphic novels. The authors analyze the sound and word play in Dav Pilkey's illustrated Captain Underpants series. They argue that Pilkey's literary devices fall into two main areas of hyperbole and linguistic creativity and that Pilkey's language shifts the reader into a carnivalesque…
