Does it matter that chemical discourse is inherently metaphorical? And who created these metaphors? And if yes, for which learners? I personally think (at these early stages of research for me) that yes and for underrepresented learners specifically.

I don't know if I qualify if I am just starting out, but I am currently conducting my first gesture analysis and there are (hopefully) many to come. So, if you'd be willing to include me, I'd appreciate it a lot :)
