Abstract
HALL, Beatriz. METAPHORS AND METAPHORICAL STATEMENTS: A THEORICAL-METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.79, pp.132-149. Epub Nov 17, 2022. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n79a07.
This article presents a critical reading of different perspectives on metaphor. The goal is to introduce theoretical and methodological concepts that have not been accounted for in the study of the concept. In order to incorporate them this article integrates contributions from non-referentialistic and non-unicist theories of the subject and adopts the name of metaphorical utterances, defined and characterized as a type of linguistic-discursive formulation which presents a relative autonomy and displays and concentrates a discursive functioning whose effects of meaning are produced within the textual framework where they appear, according to the particular conditions of production.
Keywords : metaphor; metaphorical utterances; language; effects of meaning; linguistics.
