  text: Although there is considerable research on and knowledge about students’ conceptual-izations
    of learning or academic practices and skills, the variability of these conceptu-alizations
    has been consistently neglected.In the present study, we address this varia-bility
    in the field of academic readingwith the help of a novel approach. Drawing on
    qualitative metaphor analysis, we report a detailed system of students’ conceptual
    met-aphors of reading. Ourspecific methodologicalapproach to identify the structure
    of these conceptual metaphorsallowsto analyze subjective agency on a lexical as
    well as grammatical level.The conceptual metaphors we identified by this method
    are markedly variable, although they create an overall impression of medium to
    low agency, that is a reader who is only weakly active or potent. Interrater reliability
    of the coding system was very good. We also report and analyze the frequency of
    the conceptual metaphors ina sample of 143 texts written by bachelor students.
