Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur Frida Stéenhoff använder stilfigurerna metafor, liknelse och metonymi i sitt debutdrama, Lejonets unge. Utgångspunkten är föreställningen om att de ersättande stilfigurerna används vid tabubelagda ämnen och genom att göra en diskursanalys vill jag se om det stämmer. Jag definierar de olika stilfigurerna efter Per Lagerholms definition i Stilistik och tar i diskursanalysen även hänsyn till hur 1890-talet var historiskt och kulturellt, dramats fiktiva verklighet och de olika karaktärernas värderingar. Resultatet presenteras i form av analyser av sju utvalda scener. Analyserna visar att Stéenhoff använder en mängd metaforer, liknelser och metonymier i Lejonets unge.

Ämnet neurodidaktik bygger på hjärnforskning och etablerade teorier inom det pedagogiska området. Syftet med vår studie är att dra slutsatser av de rön vi finner inom hjärnforskningen som studerar hur hjärnan fungerar i inlärningssammanhang. Vi har lyft fram ett antal förutsättningar för lärande i vår studie som alla får stöd i aktuell hjärnforskning. Dessa förutsättningar har vi kopplat samman med hur hjärnan utvecklas ur ett matematiskt perspektiv. Litteratursökningen har ägt rum i faktaböcker och databaser och för att få vägledning har vi kontaktat experter inom området.
