This dataset contains replication and supplementary data for a project about metaphor elicitation, where informants were specifically prompted to produce a metaphor in written texts about a topic that was meaningful to them.

The main study related to this dataset took place in a Norwegian upper secondary class, and involved an interenvention over the course of a semester, with elicitation being conducted twice (at the start and at the end of the semester). A second elicitation study involving an online survey took place in Finland with college students (also two elicitataion points).

This dataset contains the entire texts produced by the Norwegian and Finnish informants from all four elicitation points (the elicited metaphors and justifications, if any).

The documents here also provide the information and consent form, metadata questionaire, classroom exercises, elicitation tasks, and interview guides created for the Norwegian intervention.
