Dear Mike and all,
My dissertation "Metaphor Beyond Play" was using ethnographic data of several children in my family to develop a model of meaning making that looked at children's play and their spontaneous metaphors. It claimed that constructing the imagined world in play is a necessary but not sufficient step in creating metaphoric meanings.
Many of the issues that are being discusses here have been addressed there. I have presented some topics and parts of my dissertation at several conferences (AERA, ISCAR and TASP).
I'll be glad to send the manuscript to all interested.
Ana
