The main goal of this study is to identify conceptual metaphors in two genetically distinct languages, namely Iranian Persian and British English, analyze their domains and attempt to detect possible cultural impacts on their construction. Although there are a good number of studies on the relationship between metaphor and culture in some languages, there appears to be a limited number of comparative studies on different languages with culturally distinct contexts and their metaphors. In an attempt to investigate the cultural imprints on metaphor, this thesis has a special focus on metaphors applied in two Persian and English short stories. ‘Roast Goose’ by M.A. Jamalzadeh and ‘The Luncheon’ by W.S. Maugham are two well-known near contemporary short stories, which are subject to our study. The two emotions of anxiety and greed, as the most dominant subjects of metaphorical expressions in these stories, are identified following MIP (Metaphor Identification Procedure) and the concepts involved in the construction of their underlying conceptual metaphors will be analyzed based on Kövecses’s (2010a) method. The thesis presents a conceptual approach within a cognitive linguistic perspective to pinpoint metaphors and the stories behind them in these two literal texts.

Orientador: Antônio Suárez Abreu / Banca: Edvanda Bonavina da Rosa / Banca: Bento Carlos Dias da Silva / Banca: Isadora Valencise Gregolin / Banca: Eliana Izabel Scurciato / Resumo: Este trabalho tem o objetivo de utilizar o modelo da Linguística Cognitiva, es-pecialmente o dos esquemas de imagem e o da integração conceptual, para fazer uma análise dos trechos que tratam da relação entre Riobaldo e Diadorim em Grande Ser-tão: Veredas, de Guimarães Rosa. De acordo com essa teoria, os esquemas de imagem constituem elementos bási-cos para o exercício da linguagem, estruturando, pré-conceitualmente, nossa experiên-cia corpórea de mundo; eles são também utilizados em literatura e, segundo Turner (1996), constituem um excelente recurso para criar efeitos de sentido no texto literário. Dessa forma, constituem objeto de especial interesse projeções metafóricas de travessia estruturadas pelos esquemas de imagem, analisadas nessa obra de Guimarães Rosa, uma vez que a metáfora também é vista pela neurociência atual como um prin-cípio organizador do pensamento e da criatividade humana. Assim, utilizando principalmente os esquemas de PERCURSO e de DINÂMI-CA DE FORÇAS, este trabalho procura demonstrar a eficácia da aplicabilidade desses esquemas como subsídio para o entendimento de aspectos de Grande Sertão: Vere-das, especialmente o acima citado / Abstract: This dissertation aims at employing the theory of Cognitive Linguistics, spe-cially the image schema and the conceptual integration frameworks to analyze the ex-cerpts where the relationship between Riobaldo e Diadorim is explored by Guimarães Rosa in Grande Sertão: Veredas. According to this theory, image schemas are the basic elements that underlie language performance, structuring preconceptually our world bodily experience; they are also employed in literature and, according to Mark Turner (1996), constitutes an excellent resource for creating meaning effects in literary texts. Accordingly metaphorical projections of crossing structured by image schemas analyzed in this title by Guimarães Rosa are object of special interest, inasmuch they are seen by present neuroscience as an organizer principle of thought and human crea-tivity. Therefore, by employing SOURCE-PATH-GOAL and FORCE DYNAMICS image schemas, this work seeks to demonstrate the efficacy of the applicability of those schemas as a base for understanding aspects of Grande Sertão: Veredas, par-ticularly the ones reported above / Doutor

(English) Multimodality in Spanish Language This research work analyses the language of the social networks used in the Hispanic environment from the point of view of multimodality. In the first part, the theoretical framework of the study is presented, i. e. cognitive linguistics. In addition, the fundamental theories linked to this framework are explained, namely mental spaces, conceptual blending, conceptual metaphor or construal, which are later applied to our object of study: the language of social networks. Likewise, the concept of multimodality, its origins, and its current utility in the field of linguistics are analysed. In the second part, the variety of the Spanish language used online is investigated, with focus on the elements that present the multimodal character. The linguistic material, which constitutes a corpus of study, has been extracted in its entirety from Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. The corpus has been updated and appropriate to the fundamental purpose pursued in this study: to demonstrate that communication mediated by the social networks is, mainly, multimodal, since it has its own resources, belonging to various semiotic channels, which allow any user to achieve any communicative purpose sought. Key words: Spanish language, cognitive linguistics, multimodality, social...

This diploma thesis deals with the topic of metaphorization of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their representation in common online media. The aim of the diploma thesis is to examine aspects of the relationship between metaphors and autism spectrum disorder. In terms of metaphor theory, it is based on cognitive linguistics and its approach to conceptual metaphor. The thesis lists the most common metaphors that are used in connection with autism spectrum disorders whereas the distinction between neurotypical and autistic metaphors is made. Then, it deals with medialization of autism spectrum disorders and presents possibilities of categorization of the way ASD is written about in common online media. Finally, the thesis discusses the overall problematics of metaphorization of autism spectrum disorders and possibilities of changes in the way they are represented.
