Metaphors have a way of elucidating phenomena that defy empirical description. I was pleased to see that Ellen Bialystok had borrowed one of my favorite metaphors in her description of the growth of applied linguistics over the fifty years of Language Learning's existence. Some years ago (Brown, 1978) I chose the human development metaphor to describe processes of change in the language teaching profession. With this implicit permission, let me add some of my own perspectives to what Bialystok has already offered on the development of applied linguistics in the first section of the paper
