TL;DR: The authors presented an explicit method that can be reliably employed to identify metaphorically used words in discourse and provided metaphor scholars with a tool that may be flexibly applied to many research contexts.

TL;DR: The authors introduced and developed the potential of complex systems as a metaphor or supra-theory for systems in applied linguistics and explored the resonances that we find between complex systems and linguistics systems.

TL;DR: Teaching Languages to Young Learners as discussed by the authors is one of the few books to develop readers' understanding of what happens in classrooms where children are being taught a foreign language and it will offer teachers and trainers a coherent theoretical framework to structure thinking about children's language learning.

TL;DR: Lantolf et al. as discussed by the authors investigated how teachers and learners negotiate figurative language in order to promote development in the classroom setting and found that metaphor is employed by their teachers, not just in explaining ideas, but, in managing and mediating the activity of the classroom and the learning of the students.

TL;DR: This article identified and described metaphor in spoken discourse data and validated metaphor research projects using Corpus-based research into metaphor and its applications to language reference materials. But they did not consider metaphor as a bridge to developing expertise.
