Tomo por base, especificamente, a Teoria Neural da Linguagem (FELDMAN, 2006) e, em conson?ncia com esse arcabou?o te?rico-metodol?gico, utilizo as no??es de categoriza??o (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 1999), corporalidade (GIBBS, 2005), figuratividade (GIBBS, 1994; BERGEN, 2005) e simula??o mental (BARSALOU, 1999; FELDMAN, Ibid.). A hip?tese defendida ? a de que a constru??o da figuratividade em textos constitu?dos por mecanismos verbais e n?o verbais est? atrelada ? ativa??o de estruturas neurais relacionadas a nossas a??es e percep??es. Desse modo, a linguagem ? considerada uma faculdade cognitiva ligada ao aparato cerebral e ?s experi?ncias corp?reas, de maneira que ela fornece amostras do processo cont?nuo de (re)constru??o de sentidos efetivado pelo leitor, o qual (re)define suas vis?es acerca do mundo ? medida que certas redes neurais s?o (ou deixam de ser) ativadas durante o processamento lingu?stico. Dados obtidos na an?lise apontam que, no tocante ?s hist?rias em quadrinhos, a leitura dos recursos gr?ficos integrada ? da linguagem verbal parece ter um papel importante na constru??o de met?foras e de meton?mias, havendo casos, inclusive, de met?foras metonimicamente motivadas. Essas conclus?es adv?m da an?lise de dados retirados da obra V de vingan?a (MOORE; LLOYD, 2006). O estudo do corpus ? pautado na metodologia da introspec??o, isto ?, a an?lise individual dos aspectos lingu?sticos conforme se manifestam na pr?pria cogni??o do sujeito (TALMY, 2005). / The object of this study is the construction of metaphor and metonymy in comics. This work is inserted in the field of Embodied Cognitive Linguistics, specifically based on the Neural Theory of Language (FELDMAN, 2006) and, consistent with this theoretical and methodological framework, the notions of categorization (LAKOFF & JOHNSON, 1999), embodiment (GIBBS, 2005), figurativity (GIBBS, 1994; BERGEN, 2005), and mental simulation (BARSALOU, 1999; FELDMAN, 2006) have also been used. The hypothesis defended is that the construction of figurativity in texts consisting of verbal and nonverbal mechanisms is linked to the activation of neural structures related to our actions and perceptions. Thus, language is considered a cognitive faculty connected to the brain apparatus and to bodily experiences, in such a way that it provides samples of the continuous process of meaning (re)construction performed by the reader, whom (re)defines his or her views about the world as certain neural networks are (or stop being) activated during linguistic processing. The data obtained during the analysys shows that, as regards comics, the act of reading together the graphics and verbal language seems to have an important role in the construction of figurativity, including cases of metaphors which are metonymically motivated. These preliminary conclusions were drawn from the data analysis taken from V de Vingan?a (MOORE; LLOYD, 2006). The corpus study was guided by the methodology of introspection, i.e., the individual analysis of linguistic aspects as manifested in one's own cognition (TALMY, 2005).
