I am investigating non-literal, including clearly metaphorical, uses
of Motion Verbs in early child-adult interaction in Greek and English
(both as L1).  Could you send me any recent references and/or papers
on metaphor and akin phenomena (e.g. fictive motion) in child language
compatible with the Cognitive Theory of Metaphor?  I am already aware
of two relevant dissertations: C.R. Johnson (1999) and S. Ozcaliskan
(2002).

I will post a summary of responses.

Thanks.
