Figurative Language
Looking how children use and understand metaphor and irony
From 1974 to 1988, researchers at Project Zero investigated the development of figurative language skills in children. Research focused on children's ability to use and understand the two major forms of figurative language: metaphor and irony. More detailed summaries of the individual studies are available upon request.
