【 摘 要 】

Based on conceptual metaphor theory (LAKOFF, (2002 [1980]; KÖVECSES, 2010b), metaphorical or potentially metaphorical expressions found in the Banco de Dados Interacionais (RONCARATI, 1996) a volume that contains transcripts of conversations recorded between November 1989 and January 1991 totaling about 270 minutes, are analyzed. Lasting between 5 and 30 minutes, the 13 conversations that make up this volume were segmented in 9927 intonational units (CHAFE, 1988; Du Bois et alii, 1992). Of these units, 82 metaphorical expressions were found that reveal source and target domains widely reported in the literature: PERSON, EMOTION, OBJECT, HUMAN BODY, ECONOMY and ANIMAL. This study confirms assumptions about the theory of conceptual metaphor, in their original linguistic manifestations (or not), with respect to the specifics of their conceptualization contexts in real talk.
