TCM’s: Resources for Promoting Figurative/Metaphorical Language

Authors: Figueira APC*, Campos S and Ribeiro C

Volume 5, Issue 4

Abstract

We present two versions of assessment / intervention tools for understanding metaphors: the TCM for children aged 9 to 14 years old, or elementary school (Portugal), and the junior TCM, for children aged 4 to 6 years old, or in age preschool. They are versions / adaptations for European Portuguese of existing tools in Italian. The authors of the Italian versions are professors at the University of Sapienza, Rome, Italy, with internationally recognized work, presenting the original versions with good psychometric qualities.
