Resumen

La noción de metáfora habita en el imaginario del lenguaje desde siempre. Originalmente era una figura de la lengua escrita y la retórica del discurso. En 1980, con la aparición de la Teoría de la Metáfora Conceptual (Lakoff y Johnson, 1980), se separó del lenguaje y se volvió una operación abstracta que, actualmente, puede estudiarse como el mecanismo detrás de los patrones culturales en la relación tiempo y espacio, los rituales sociales, el cine, la pintura, entre otros. Se ha vuelto más abarcadora pero más difícil de identificar. Como toda abstracción explicativa, debe servir a ciertos propósitos. En este trabajo, se argumenta que los objetivos originales de esta noción, como una operación conceptual, se han perdido por completo y poco se han reconocido las consecuencias de esta falta de pertinencia teórica. En la última parte, se echa mano de la noción de metáfora deliberada como un conjunto de criterios claros para identificarlas.
