Abstract In this Dossier, four scholars reflect on Nicholas Onuf’s leading article, ‘Metaphoricizing modernity’, (re)engaging with – and celebrating – more broadly Onuf’s groundbreaking work from different places, perspectives, and angles. Part II rethinks (with) Onuf from Latin America, questioning and provincializing (certain) metaphors and metaphoricizing. Manuela Trindade Viana analyzes the conditions of possibility and the effects of ‘Colombianization’ as a powerful metaphor that came to circulate in Latin America since the late 2000s, in reference both to a specific diagnosis of a problem of violence and the solutions implemented to confront it. Challenging (certain) aspects of Onuf’s account about what metaphors do in our worlds, she argues that the security policy domain valorizes the universal push underlying the imperative to make models travel as a condition for the legitimation of their work in crafting solutions that fit to ‘similar problematically violent’ situations in Latin America. Roberto Vilchez Yamato offers an-other (re)reading of Onuf’s work. (Re)turning to Onuf’s World of Our Making, he (re)thinks the correlation(s) between metaphors, rules, and the conditions of rule, drawing attention to the crucial place of language within Onuf’s work. Supplementarily, Yamato engages with Onuf’s more recent The Mightie Frame, ‘the second half’ of his ‘decades-long project’, suggesting a certain rethinking of the ‘microphysics’ of language, the conditions of thought, and the conditions of rule, within which metaphors and metaphorical complexes are given center stage. (Re)reading (some of) Onuf’s work, he concludes his article wondering about how Onuf would respond to the question of provincializing metaphors.

The long history of mass communication theories is full of metaphors, from Shannon and Weaver’s ‘transmission channel’ to Noelle-Neumann’s ‘spiral of silence’. The objective of the chapter is to give an overview of the use of metaphors and models in mediatized communication studies. Special attention is given to the metaphors that support the representations of digital and interactive communication practices; in this context, the chapter deals with the metaphors of the Internet, the World Wide Web, and new platforms and introduces the main metaphors of media change. The chapter concludes with a series of reflections on the risks and benefits of metaphorical reasoning and includes a call for ‘metaphorical experimentation’.

Hermeneutic phenomenology provides a framework to understand shared, interrelated, and embodied human existence since it is concerned with meaning-making and revealing what the experience is like. Metaphors, part of poetic language, offer an effective method for presenting complex, rich understandings, giving room for play and ambiguity, and uncovering novel and unexpected ways of conceptualizing experiences. Drawing on a broader case study on the collaboration between the Children’s Parliament Scotland and an Aberdeen primary school, this article presents how metaphor was used to gather material on the “meanings of children's participation in decision-making processes”. This choice was guided by the epistemological conviction that image-related representations can be significant sources of knowledge about the human world, revealing new meanings that can illuminate both theory and practice.

In this article, I further explore the theoretical proposal of what I call transnational care plots. I do so based on an approximately decade-long research agenda on migration and care, using over a hundred stories and nearly fifty body mappings derived from a multi-sited and collaborative ethnography conducted in Colombia and Spain (Cali, Medellin, Cartagena, Bogota, Barcelona, and Madrid). I draw on the notion of global care chains, as coined by Arlie Hochschild, to provide a metaphor that leads to a more fluid and acute mental picture of the number and complexity of the intertwining trajectories of those who migrate and care in a world that does not yet give fair recognition to the implications of the transnationalized care regime on life in general, and on the lives of migrants in particular. Drawing on Stuart Hall’s dissertations on the usefulness of metaphors in the domain of theorizing — what he calls “wrestling with angels” — and on narratives constructed from multisite ethnography and a reflexive approach, I develop the image of transnational care plots as a metaphor with discursive, somatic, political, aesthetic and affective dimensions. Little has been written about Colombia’s place in these chains or plots, despite the fact that it is one of the central countries in the operation of the transnationalized care regime. At the same time, I develop a complexification of the so far little explored notion of global care chains, which is essential to envisioning and shaping the narratives of migrant care workers and to understand the politics of dispossession involved there. This, in turn allows us to imagine possible futures that go against the tide and which “wrestle with the angels.”

This paper examines the structure of Cervantes’ Exemplary Novels focusing on a network of metaphors that stem from the Prologue and that connect the first and last novels in the book. This net links metaphors of conception, worth, and metamorphosis in a path that contrasts the aforesaid novels and their protagonists, Preciosa and Doña Estefanía/Cañizares. With that itinerary, Cervantes reflects on the nature of fiction: how it’s born, what elements form it, how it affects writers and readers, and what is its status regarding truth and lies.

Abstract: Almost forty years ago, the proposal of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory represented a milestone for Cognitive Linguistics studies. From this point, many pieces of research were developed around the analytical category of metaphor. However, the majority of these papers are still in the monomodal field, intending to build a concept resulting from the source and target domains that come specifically from the verbal structures. Taking this into consideration, this paper intends to focus on the metaphorical occurrence in diverse semiotic modes that constitute multimodal texts. In order to fulfill this aim, we outlined a corpus of five editorial cartoons about “fake news”. Our specific objective is to, making use of the concept of multimodal metaphors proposed by Forceville (1996, 2009), presented how the different semiotic modes, in this case the verbal and the visual ones, are interwoven in the building of these metaphors. In this way, in our study, besides validating the thesis proposed by Forceville (2009) about the occurrence of metaphors not only in the verbal mode, it was also possible to verify the importance of multimodal metaphors for the meaning construction process in the analyzed genre. Keywords: metaphors; multimodal metaphors; fake news. Resumo: Há quase quarenta anos atrás um marco nos estudos da Linguística Cognitiva, em especial em sua semântica, ocorreu: a proposta da Teoria da Metáfora Conceitual. A partir desse trabalho, muitas pesquisas foram desenvolvidas em torno da categoria analítica da metáfora. Porém, grande parte desses trabalhos ainda encontra-se no campo dos denominados textos monomodais, visando apenas a construção conceitual resultante de domínios fonte e alvo oriundos especificamente do modo verbal. Diante disso, o presente artigo propõe-se a promover um trabalho dedicado à ocorrência metafórica nos diferentes modos semióticos que constituem os textos multimodais. Para cumprirmos tal objetivo, delineamos como corpus cinco charges que versam sobre o conceito fake news. Nosso objetivo específico consiste em apresentar, através do conceito de metáforas multimodais, proposto por Forceville (1996, 2009), a forma pela qual diferentes modos semióticos, nesse caso em especial o verbal e o imagético, imbricaram-se na construção dessas metáforas. Assim, em nosso estudo, além de vislumbrarmos a validação da proposição de Forceville (2009) sobre a não ocorrência do processo metafórico apenas no modo verbal, foi possível a verificação da importância das metáforas multimodais para a construção dos sentidos do gênero em análise. Palavras-chave: metáforas; metáfora multimodal; fake news.

Abstract: The present paper looks at the interactive construction of multimodal metaphors of interculturereality – a term coined by the author from interculturality and intercorporeality, assuming that intercultural interaction is always an embodied phenomenon, shared among its participants. For this, two videotaped sequences of a group conversation are analyzed drawing upon interaction analysis (Couper-Kuhlen; Selting, 2018). The data was transcribed following the GAT2 (Selting et al., 2011) guidelines, including gesture form annotation, which relied on the system described by Bressem (2013). Gesture function was interpreted drawing on the interactional context and on the system proposed by Kendon (2004) and Bressem and Müller (2013). The results question the validity of the classical conduit metaphor of communication (Reddy, 1979) in the intercultural context and instead propose an embodied approach to the conceptualization of the understanding process among the participants. The analysis also shows that even though the metaphors are multimodal, the metaphoric content is not always evenly distributed among the different modalities (speech, gesture). Apart from that, the metaphorical content is constructed sequentially, referring to preceding metaphors used by the same or different interlocutors and associated with metaphorical blends. Keywords: metaphors; multimodality; interculturality; intercorporeality; migration. Resumo: O presente artigo analisa a construção interativa de metáforas multimodais da interculturealidade – um termo proveniente da interculturalidade e intercorporealidade, assumindo que a interação intercultural é sempre um fenômeno incorporado, compartilhado entre os seus participantes. Para tal, duas sequências gravadas em vídeo de uma conversa em grupo serão analisadas com base na análise da interação (COUPER-KUHLEN; SELTING, 2018). Os dados foram transcritos seguindo as orientações do sistema GAT2 (SELTING et al., 2011), incluindo a anotação da forma gestual, que se baseou no sistema descrito por Bressem (2013). A função dos gestos foi interpretada com base no contexto interacional e no sistema proposto por Kendon (2004) e Bressem e Müller (2013). Os resultados questionam a validade da metáfora clássica do conduto de comunicação (REDDY, 2012) no contexto intercultural e, além disso, propõem uma abordagem corporificada da conceituação do processo de entendimento entre os participantes. A análise também mostra que, embora as metáforas sejam multimodais, o conteúdo metafórico não é sempre uniformemente distribuído entre as diferentes modalidades (fala, gesto). Além disso, o conteúdo metafórico é construído sequencialmente, referindo-se a metáforas anteriores utilizadas pelos mesmos ou diferentes interlocutores e recorrendo a mesclagens metafóricas. Palavras-chave: metáforas; multimodalidade; interculturalidade; intercorporealidade; migração.

This contribution explores the impact of the translator’s cultural framework on the translation of landscape-related metaphor via a contrastive analysis of La madre, by the Sardinian Nobel Laureate in Literature Grazia Deledda, and its 1922 translation (The Mother) by Mary Steegman. Culture influences the vision of nature in providing distinct norms and ideologies about how people relate to others and the natural world. Deledda’s language of space originated from a subjective perception, and so did her use of space-related metaphors. In translation, however, the negotiation of meaning involving landscape metaphors becomes more complex. The source author’s subjective perception and individuality overlaps with the translator’s subjectivity, which impacts on the target text with political and ideological consequences. This contribution examines in particular anthropomorphism and the relationship between metaphor and simile. It will be argued that the translator’s interpretation can re-shape relationship and the target readers’ understanding of that landscape. The analysis will be based on Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and Mandelblit’s Cognitive Translation Hypothesis (1995). Ecostylistics will provide a further framework, to examine the patterns which uncover the translator’s approach with regards to nature and landscape.

Purpose – The use of film language in management is an interesting method to understand the concept of leadership in the internal and external contexts of organizations, by means of metaphors. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the metaphors of leadership in a movie. Design/methodology/approach – This was a qualitative research, which used the strategy of film analysis and content analysis (Bardin, 2016). Data were collected by scene decoupage, registered in an observation protocol. In the field of management, there is a growing interest in film analysis for understanding organizations, from inside and outside, by using dynamic methodologies. Findings – The use of metaphors in film analysis made it possible to interpret concepts, for a better understanding of organizations. The identified leaders, despite adopting different attitudes at work, reach a common goal, with gains for the community. Originality/value – This article also contributes to reflect on the teaching–learning process of management research through different methodological dimensions.

This study analyses the image that students of initial physical education teacher education (PETE) from two different universities (University of Alicante- UA, Spain, and Central University of Ecuador-UCE) have of physical education teachers. This qualitative and comparative study uses a metaphorical approach. Qualitative methodology was used to analyse the participating students metaphors in order to explore whether or not they suit the current learning and teaching perspectives in the field of Physical Education, and whether the images conveyed any differences between universities due to the influence of the context in the Physical Education teacher image and in gender stereotypes. A total of 190 students participated in the study (n= 105 men; n= 85 women). The software AQUAD 7 was used to process the data. The results showed that there were no obvious gender differences that keep women away from physical activity. As well as not excessive differences due to the different context of the participants.

In the article I describe the ways in which we have created elaborate ways in making death illusory, so as to avoid confronting mortality. In particular I describe the way in which authors, too, circumvent the terror of death and the accompanying corpse by using words that emphasize the heroic or peaceful aspects of the character’s end or by employing euphemisms that invoke a contrived beauty. Literary descriptions of corpses, especially those of young female ones, frequently encourage readers to see the body through trope, as something other than death, in which the deceased turn into sleeping beauties or otherworldly celestial splendors—transformations that suppress death’s ubiquitous and threatening presence. This article briefly analyzes the representation of death and the dead body in Cien años de soledad (1967) by Gabriel García Márquez to pave the way for a comprehensive examination of Isabel Allende’s novel La casa de los espíritus (1982) and her memoir Paula (1994), both of which draw from García Márquez’s novel. Collectively, the texts underscore the frailty of human life but quickly mask death’s threat by employing hyperbolic metaphors and analogies skewed in degrees that make characters’ deaths implausible and unreal. Because Allende and García Márquez more often describe female corpses than male ones, this article in particular analyzes the metaphoric language used to describe these female corpses, which are often transformed into mythic goddesses, sirens, or holy virgins, or transmogrified into foodstuffs or other non-human entities.

This article aims to analyze a modern organization from the metaphors established by Gareth Morgan in his book "Images of Organizations," published in 1996. It is a narrative based on documentary analysis of secondary sources and on the participant observation of the authors who worked at Banco do Brasil SA. The work begins with an ontological and epistemological reflection on organizational studies and uses the qualitative narrative analysis, based on metaphors, from 1988 to 2009. The intersection of the narrative approach, which includes part of the life history of authors who are ex-employees with metaphors and consultation with other research on the organization, during the period considered by the research, compliments the analysis and provides an insight into the mechanisms used in its management. Thus, the paper presents a relevant and specific experience about the organization that does not predict replicability, a central characteristic of qualitative studies of subjective order. It was concluded that the metaphors used allowed us to analyze the organization during the period considered, contributing to a reflection on its policies and the effects on the individuals.

This article contends that some aspects of the doctrine of the mystical union of Christ with the believers are found in the gospel of Luke. There is an identification between Jesus and his followers as children of the Most High. Besides that, Jesus applies to them many features of his relationship with the Father. The readers of the gospel are challenged to imitate Jesus's ministry in the same power of Jesus, i.e., the Holy Spirit. Also, in the Lord's Supper and in the manger, Jesus Christ is presented as the bread which the disciples must eat in order to have spiritual life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Neste artigo, argumento que metáfora e conceito são nomes para o mesmo tipo de coisa. E, se isso é assim, metáfora é uma metáfora para conceito; conceito é uma metáfora para metáfora. Se assim o é, então o conhecimento é, em geral, metafórico. Uma arqueologia do conhecimento metafórico é uma expressão metafórica para um conjunto de reivindicações e procedimentos concebidos para expor os pressupostos e as associações enterrados, constituindo (e, por meio da constituição, regulando) o que pensamos que sabemos. As ressonâncias afetivas e normativas das metáforas relacionadas a "comunidade" se remetem a um profundo anseio em um mundo onde as comunidades não mais se assemelham ao que um dia foram. "Comunidade internacional" é um sítio arqueológico situado na superfície da terra, tão proeminente quanto inexplorado. Sua escavação pode nos conduzir a algum distante passado, somente para nos trazer de volta ao próprio mundo que vivemos.In this paper, I claim that metaphor and concept are names for the same kind of thing. And if this is so, metaphor is a metaphor for concept; concept is a metaphor for metaphor. An archeology of metaphorical knowledge is a metaphorical expression for a set of claims and procedures designed to expose the buried assumptions and associations constituting (and by constituting, regulating) what we think we know. The affective and normative resonances of metaphors related to "community" speak to a deep yearning in a world where communities no longer resemble what they once did. "International community" is an above-ground archeological site, as prominent as it is unexplored. Its excavation may take us to some distant past only to bring us back to the very world we live in.

In the late 19th century Europe, the image of a thermal machine, ruled by thermodynamic laws, became one of the primary metaphors to explain societal operating mechanism. At the end of 19th century, experts in fatigue, nutrition and human motor physiology strove to get a supposedly neutral and objective solution to political and economic conflicts corresponding to industrialized cities, in the quest to maximize productivity while preserving energy within the worker bodies. This paper will explore some of the reforms and social projects in Restoration Spain that were informed by the energetic productivism doctrine. The way this doctrine was based on a new perception of both human body and social body as closely related to a thermodynamic system is highlighted. In turn this point draws attention on the importance of considering other knowledge different to the medical and biological ones to rationalize and manage body and population.

This article aims to show, in a summarized way, how different studies on metaphor can positively converge to a cognitive-linguistic perception of this phenomenon. This perception surpasses a merely stylistic vision of the metaphor. The paper also reports the research that was done by Huang (2005) about metaphors in scientific texts of Medicine, which is related to the topic of AIDS. The results and difficulties of Huang's research have given examples in the treatment of the theme of metaphor in Terminology and in studies of scientific texts. It is concluded that metaphor is one of the phenomena that make part of the technical and scientific communication and, because of the complexity in approaching such topic, it must also be investigated in Terminology.O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar, de um modo conciso, como diferentes estudos sobre metáfora podem convergir, positivamente, para uma percepção lingüístico-cognitiva do fenômeno, a qual supera uma visão meramente estilística. Relata-se, com destaque, a pesquisa de Huang (2005) sobre a metáfora no texto científico de Medicina que trata sobre AIDS. Essa pesquisa, em seus resultados e dificuldades, serve como um exemplo para o tratamento da metáfora em Terminologia e em estudos do texto especializado. O artigo conclui que a metáfora é um dos fenômenos que integram a comunicação técnico-científica e que, a despeito da complexidade de sua abordagem, deve ser investigado também em estudos de Terminologia.

PortuguesEste artigo examina noções de onda, rizoma e “sororidade” como metáforas de representações sobre mulheres e seus movimentos, em diferentes lugares e tempos históricos. Associa-se à crítica a tendências analíticas que acentuam experiências feministas conjunturais que podem tornar invisíveis tensões e rupturas entre gerações de mulheres e de feministas. Problematiza, ainda, a metáfora da “sororidade”: por solidariedades presumidas com a experiência comum da maternidade, exclui contingências que, subterraneamente, podem mover mulheres e feminismos em diferentes direções. Destaca, enfim, a perspectiva da longa duração histórica e dos tempos múltiplos como modo de perceber a história das mulheres e dos feminismos em suas continuidades e rupturas.EnglishThis article analyses the conceptions of wave, rhizome, and “sorority” as metaphors for the representation of women and their movements in different places and historical periods. It joins critical efforts already made towards analytical trends highlighting circumstantial feminist experiences and thus turning other social projects invisible, but without taking into consideration possible breakdowns which come from tensions within generations of women and feminists. It also questions the “sorority” metaphor: by its solidarity assumed on the grounds of the shared experience of maternity, it also conceals contingencies that secretly gather women and feminists for different causes in different periods. Finally, it admits the long-term historical perspective and the multiple timings as a way of perceiving the history of women and of feminism throughout its continuities and breakdowns.

Este artigo faz parte de um conjunto de reflexões sobre as consequências do uso de abordagens fortemente influenciadas pela lógica empresarial como lentes para compreender movimentos orientados pela oposição a essa lógica. Neste artigo a preocupação é retomada, aprofundando a abordagem de redes. O ponto de partida foi uma apropriação crítica de autores e formulações representativos dessa abordagem. Foi impossível deixar de lado a hibridização entre a(s) teoria(s) do capital social e a abordagem de redes sociais. Parte deste artigo redundou em retirar as formulações de Pierre Bourdieu da vala comum, em que leituras equivocadas as têm jogado, ao classificálo como um teórico do capital social e da análise de redes. Também é revisada a expressão predominante da abordagem de redes nos estudos sobre movimentos sociais. Finalmente é abordada a distinção entre metáfora e modelo. A partir daí se pode afirmar que a retomada da estratégia discursiva da metáfora poderia abrir espaço para reconhecer o novo, o que está em construção, e o que ainda não é. Além disso, possibilitariam a coerência com a razão de ser do objeto a ser estudado. Nesse sentido são apresentadas três metáforas - fluidos, teias e rizomas - de modo a ilustrar as potencialidades contidas no uso desse recurso no estudo de movimentos sociais.This article is part of a reflexive effort directed to discuss the consequences of the use of approaches strongly influenced by entrepreneurial logics as lenses to understand social movements oriented by the opposition to such logic. In this text this preoccupation is directed to the network approach. The point of departure is a critical appropriation of representative authors and formulations of such approach. In this review it was impossible to avoid the hybridization between social capital and social network. A relevant part of this review was the separation of Pierre Bourdieu's formulations from the common place they had been thrown by readings which classify him as an author of social capital and network analysis. Following, the article reviews the predominant use of network approaches in the study of social movements. Finally, it shows the distinction between metaphor and model. From such distinction it is possible to state the potential of the metaphor discursive strategy as a means to open space for the recognition of the new, of what is being constructed, of what is-not-yet. Besides that, it would be coherent with the raison d'être of the study subject. In that sense, three metaphors are present -fluids, webs and rhizomes - to illustrate the potentialities contained in the use of such resource in the study of social movements.

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta as contribuições da análise dos discursos e de suas metáforas como um caminho para investigar e compreender as articulações que envolvem os processos de participação nas organizações. Uma discussão teórica sobre privatização e antiprivatização, participação, análise do discurso e metáforas norteou uma pesquisa empírica qualitativa para evidenciar as articulações para a participação dos trabalhadores de uma organização bancária no Brasil, o Banespa, inserida num processo de privatização. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de 45 entrevistas e da seleção de documentos do movimento antiprivatização. Como técnica de análise dos dados adotou-se a análise do discurso (AD) (Fiorin, 2001) e os dados foram tratados com base no modelo das sete dimensões de participação de Sandoval (1994). Como resultado, os discursos e as metáforas confirmaram que a falta de propostas coletivas viáveis para enfrentar a privatização levou a alternativas individuais, o que se consolidou, após a privatização, na falta de espaços propícios para a participação em torno de outras questões.ABSTRACT This paper evidences the contributions of the discourses analysis and of their metaphors as a means of investigating and to understanding the articulations that involve the participation processes in organizations. A theoretical discussion about privatization and anti-privatization, participation, discourse analysis and metaphors has guided a qualitative empiric research to evidence the articulations for employee participation in a Brazilian banking organization (Banespa) undergoing a privatization process. Data collection was accomplished through 45 interviews and documents of the anti-privatization movement. The data was analyzed through discourse analysis (Fiorin, 2001) and treated based in Sand oval's (1994) model of the seven dimensions of participation. As a result, the discourses and the metaphors confirmed that the lack of viable collective proposals to face privatization lead to individual alternatives, which were consolidated, after the privatization, in the lack of favorable spaces for participation in the discussion of other issues.

The use of metaphors and other tropes in science receives nowadays growing attention among the philosophers of science, mainly when related to theoretical models. In this paper I analyse basically issues like the cognitive value of scientific metaphors, the role played by analogy in the constructions of metaphors, and, mainly, the question of whether theoretical models are metaphors. Throughout the analysis of different current approaches to the relationships between metaphors and models in science, I claim that the analogy only plays a fundamental role in the metaphorical proposals in science after analogue theoretical models are at our disposal. This nonetheless does not preclude for the analogy to become sometimes a guide in scientific creativity.

This study shows how the animated film Monsters, Inc. can be used as a tool for teaching management. By metaphors, presented in the plot of animated films, the main concepts of organizations theory can be taught and learned. The study presents theoretical learning concepts in management, the use of art and film for teaching this area of knowledge, the animated film and the process for human being identification with images. The qualitative method used was based on theoretical and exploratory study. For methodological procedures, the study was based on Aumont (1990) and, for movies analysis, Vergara's (2012) use of metaphors was addressed. From this analysis perspective, it was possible to offer new ways of considering business management teaching using animated movies as an educational resource. This method can add a deep knowledge to organizational concepts, offering new perspectives in this area of knowledge. We conclude, through the study, that animated movies are an art that operates a simple language, which helps personal or academic issues comprehension. The use of animated film in the classroom makes learning more playful and facilitates comprehensive and grasping Management concepts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Results are presented featuring a study on the process of the conceptualization of the 2013 street manifestations in Brazil and their social agents. Cognitive Linguistics, based on Lakoff and Johnson (1980), Kövecses (2009), Grady (1997) and others, foregrounds the theoretical-methodological basis of current research. Corpus comprised postings on Facebook retrieved in June 2013. Qualitative data analysis showed that the street manifestations may be conceptualized as war through the metaphor's mechanism.

This paper presents a qualitative analysis of metaphorical expressions found in brazilian soccer domain. The data consist of 316 tokens collected from the speech of brazilian speakers who broadcast soccer games, by radio or television, along the year of 2005. Using the theories of functional linguistics and cognitive linguistics, our goal is to show how we use concrete and familiar domains of our experience to conceptualize the soccer game. The study confirms the existence of iconic, non-arbitrary, motivations that are behind the metaphorical expressions.

Este artigo investiga o discurso de um grupo de trabalhadores falando sobre o jornal interno da empresa e focaliza as metáforas produzidas para expressar os conflitos que surgem da relação entre a situação no trabalho e o modo como ela é apresentada pelo jornal. O estudo está fundamentado em teorias que tratam metáfora como um fenômeno conceptual (Lakoff, G. & Johnson, M., 1980) e língua de um ponto de vista pragmático (Mey, J. 1987). Os dados foram analisados a partir de uma perspectiva qualitativa. Nosso objetivo foi observar as metáforas utilizadas pelos informantes para verificar como essas metáforas refletem as relações que se estabelecem em situação de trabalho.This paper investigates the discourse of a group of workers talking about the house organ of their enterprise and focuses on the metaphors they produce to express the conflicts arising out of the relationship between the situation at work and the way it is presented in the house organ.The study was grounded on theories that deal with metaphor as a conceptual phenomenon (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980.) and with language from a pragmatic point of view (Mey, 1987). The data was analysed from a qualitative perspective. Our aim is to look at the metaphors the workers use and to verify how these metaphors express the relationship established in situation at work.

In this paper, the photography is used in order to explore the images of students expressing their representations of the University of which they are members.

In this paper we intend to present and discuss some metaphors of the human brain present in a sample of materials of science communication aimed, therefore, to reflect on meanings and uses associated with the human brain. In the case of the scientific dissemination, in which scientists and science journalists seek to translate or recreate to the lay public the scientific knowledge, the importance of metaphors is evident as they approach the lay public of certain meanings attributed by the promoters of science on the functioning of the brain. Finally, we analytically discuss a few points of contact between the metaphors found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to investigate the Idioms (IEs) or combinations related to the Italian lexical units testa and capo, in comparison to the Portuguese lexical unit cabeça. Since they have come from two completely different etyma, they are not perfect synonyms; on the contrary, they gave rise to several expressions that are common to just one lexical units. Corpus selection was made in monolingual Italian general dictionaries and then the data was classified according to each typology: idioms that are common only with the unit capo; idioms just with head; idioms that are synonyms with both; IEs whose translations refer to other parts of the body. As a result, we found that most of the IEs with capo or testa have common semes, but most of them also are specific to one or other lexical unit exclusively, confirming the difference in semantic features between them as well as non-univocity between languages.
