Metaforyczne środki przekazu w opowiadaniach uczniów klas trzecich edukacji wczesnoszkolnej

Abstract

The paper focuses on metaphorical linguistic means that pupils of the third forms used in their short stories. Research material was gathered at the end of May 2005 and it makes a sample of 50 compositions - 32 written by pupils of a municipal primary school and 18 by country children. In both groups lessons with the subject My most interesting adventure were conducted to exercise individual composing and writing short stories. The lessons were conducted after a discussion about the book Children from Bullerbyn by Astrid Lindgren when pupils presented the most interesting adventures of characters of the book. Analysing research material one may notice that pupils from both groups showed a considerable skill in using conventionalized means of representation. Most metaphorical means are wide-spread compounds and comparisons while there are few creative, rarely met ones.
