This should not be understood as a simple name change or simple change in meaning either, but an integration or transfer in the meaning of a term, from one meaning to another by means of an image. On the other hand, Lakoff and Johnson (2003) assert that metaphor impregnates everyday life, not only language, but also thought and action. From this perspective, our ordinary conceptual system is fundamentally metaphorical in nature. The objective of this article is to illustrate the way in which specialists use metaphor as a discursive resource, to simplify and explain concepts, allowing them to be understood in a more concrete way. This also approximates concepts to the experience of the reader as well as, expressing them so that they become accessible for the majority of people. (Suárez, 2004) Furthermore, demonstrate how this linguistic phenomenon, in a discourse, is transferred from the original text to the translated text. This work began with the selection of a corpus of parallel texts from the field of psycholinguistics. The selection of the corpus took place under the following criteria: parallelism, singularity of domain and the level of specialty. The data analyzed will yield results of both a qualitative and quantitative nature regarding the changes that take place when translating metaphors. These results significantly support the master's thesis under development within the research line of cognitive processes in translation in the Universidad Autónoma of Manizales in Colombia. Equally, this descriptive work will provide important input to develop the experimental tests that is part of the master´s project previously mentioned. 2010 artículo científico 0121-6538 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=357834262001 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3578 Ánfora application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Manizales Ánfora (Colombia) Num.28 Vol.17 |
