| Sumario: | This paper intends to do a revision of the metaphor accounts given by the traditional grammars, with a normative bias, and the contemporary ones, which are aimed as descriptive. This revision have basis on the linguistic presupposition that the metaphor is not a language special use, but a linguistic mechanism available and used by the speakers all the time. Therefore, we investigate the early studies of metaphor within the grammar studies and the limited modification of this phenomenon’s account along the time. As we just said, we understand that the metaphor does not belong to a specific grammar class – nor would make sense to think that way – and, thus, this paper focuses on the available categorizations in order to propose a different way to account it, more consistent with the course of modern linguistics. |
