The studies exploring GM that adopt the notion of stratal model outnumber the studies that adopt the notion of semantic junction. These studies explore both language development and language education (Colombi 2006; Christie and Derewianka, 2008; Mohan & Beckett, 2001; Painter 2003; Ryshina–Pankova 2010; Schleppegrell, 2004; Torr & Simpson, 2003).
Byrnes 2009. Emergent L2 German ability in a curricular context: a longitudinal study of grammatical metaphor
This study investigates the ways in which the learners of German as a second language develop their use of GM in three consecutive semesters. Based on the researcher’s assumption that the threshold language proficiency level for effective GM use is the intermediate level, the language development of 14 students has been tracked at intermediate, high intermediate and advanced levels. The students were assigned three writing tasks at each level that comprise the data for the study. While they w...
Derewianka 2003a. Grammatical metaphor in the transition to adolescence
Derewianka explored the ontogenetical development of the occurrence of GM from childhood to adolescence. To track the development, the researcher analyses his sons’ use of GM in written texts from the age of 5 to 13 drawing on Halliday & Matthiessen (1999). The texts produces by the kids were categorized according to genre and complemented by observations, field notes, interviews and recordings of oral interaction during the production of written texts. Prior to this analysis, she identifies...
Devrim 2013. Development of grammatical metaphor in academic literacy through online language support
This research study was conducted within the Scaffolding Literary in Adult and Tertiary Environment (SLATE) Project, which was jointly conducted by the City University of Hong Kong and the University of Sydney (Mahboob et al. 2010). The SLATE project was based on the previous work conducted within the Sydney School’s genre-based pedagogy, which integrated SFL-inspired genre theory (Martin & Rose, 2008), sociology of education (Bernstein, 1975) and sociocultural theory (Vygotsky, 1978), and ap...
GM might be defined from the perspective of an integrated model as follows: GM is a linguistic structure that results from the stratal tension between ideational (experiential and logical) and interpersonal meanings in discourse semantics, and lexicogrammar. The above definition opens up room for the theorization of interpersonal metaphor and empha...

The cause of anxiety among taxpayers is the passingof a new bill. In Example 3, logical relations are realized inside clauses by verb, preposition, noun and adjective (Ha...

to see red. a grey area. a white lie. to give somebody the green light. Two activities. In the classroom, there are different ways we can incorporate this idea of metaphorical sets. One way is to ask students in groups to research and design a poster related to a particular topic. Take the body, for example.
Jun 1, 2016 · Grammatical metaphor is often regarded as a key linguistic resource for achieving valued academic texts, with researchers identifying its presence in successful language as foundational for constructing text features such as lexical density, cohesion and argument development (Byrnes, 2012, Schleppegrell, 2001, Schleppegrell, 2004). This study has explored the role of experiential GM deployment ...

Grammatical metaphor can thus be seen to introduce a tension between grammar (a texts wording) and semantics (a texts meaning) so that the language has to be read on at least two levels (i.e. metaphorically), with one level directly reflecting the grammar, and beyond that another symbolically related level of semantics.
Oct 1, 2016 · The deployment of logical metaphors is important for advanced achievement of academic writing as it allows for newly nominalized expressions to be placed within cause and effect networks, an important characteristic of formal, academic discourse (Halliday, 1989, Hyland, 2009, p. 7; Martin & Rose, 2003, p. 148).

Jun 1, 2006 · Research into the forms, structure and functions of metaphor has come a long way in the last thirty years. A number of writers have argued that many of the research findings have serious implications for second language teaching and learning (e.g. Alexander 1983; Dirven 1985; Littlemore 2005; Low 1988), but it has taken a long time for metaphor to make significant headway into mainstream ...
