Resumen de Metaforǎ și metonimie —mecanisme de transfer de sens: aplicație pe metaforele conceptuale ale itemului "cap"
The interest in metaphor has indicated a new progress since linguistics and the philosophy of language placed it in a new light. The numerous studies in the 20th century profoundly changed the understanding of metaphor. Authors like Roman Jakobson, I. A. Richards, Max Black, Paul Ricoeur, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson etc. have made a huge contribution to the development of a new view on metaphor. Thus, the contemporary philosophy of science has induced a clearer semantic delineation, which led to the emergence of a problematics of metaphor. The attention given to the cognitive side of metaphor can be considered one of the most important traits of modern metaphorology. The present article tackles this problematics of metaphor by referring to its modern approaches, and puts forth an analysis of the conventional metaphors generated by the item head as the source domain in conceptualizing abstract target domains.
