[EDLING:1753] Re: Metaphors we Live by in Applied Linguistics?

[Tamara Warhol]

This is an article that I have in my database:

Low, G. (2003). Validating metaphoric models in applied linguistics. 
/Metaphor & Symbol, 18/(4), 239-254.

ABSTRACT:
Metaphoric modeling has, over the last 20 years, become a powerful tool 
in applied
linguistics. Although research quality assessment criteria are starting 
to be applied to
educational research, via meta-analyses and systematic reviews, there 
are as yet few
agreed methodological or reporting criteria in the area of metaphoric 
models. This
article examines a sample of 5 published metaphoric models of literacy 
or language
teaching/learning, to derive a series of methodological suggestions 
compatible with
recent systematic review guidelines. It is argued that a sound 
methodology for identifying
and describing metaphoric models will pave the way for more reliable
cross-cultural studies in educational linguistics.
