Narrative language is viewed as a way of 'becoming' within the flow of time and therefore life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Evans and Herat show that there are levels in language that correspond with conceptual structures existing in the mind and in wider society, which shape the formation of a metalanguage. They explore how metaphor is an important creative tool in raising language to a more conceptual level in the constitution of a metalanguage. The book considers the development of different strands of metalanguage, for example, mind-based logic, physically based metaphor and universal grammar, to provide a fuller account of language and identity by challenging sweeping existential accounts of language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By studying the formation and application of metalanguage, the authors show it can help develop a more questioning, dialogic critical pedagogy in education to accustom students to develop critical awareness.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46437621465239,"sku":"9781350497856","price":12063.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350497856.webp?v=1769104774","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/metalanguage-and-identity-from-narration-to-reflection-9781350497856","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
