Olá, Pessoal.
Também tenho lá minhas dúvidas se estou no caminho certo. Tenho pesquisado os “idioms” da língua inglesa e acho que encontrei algumas metáforas estruturais. Aqui vai:
Para ilustrar “Making a mistake is falling over” aqui vão alguns exemplos. Tendei contextualizar um pouco para não cair no pecado da análise sentencial.

1. “I think I tripped up on the first question”.
2. Comentário de alunos sobre uma prova.

3. “The actor stumbled over his lines! I think he was drunk.”
4. Alguém dando opinião após ver uma peça teatral.

5. “But you didn’t take a single wrong step!”
6. Alguém tentando convencer um amigo que ele fez uma boa apresentação.

7. “You could fall flat on your face!”
8. Um amigo tentando convencer o outro a não convidar uma garota para sair.

9. “When I asked her, she fumbled for what to say!”
10. Comentário feito por alguém que está sendo traído pela esposa e a questionou sobre o fato.

11. “Is this a clumsy attempt at saying sorry?”
12. Resposta do chefe ao funcionário que se desculpava por ter cometido um engano.

13. “It was slip of the tongue. I’m sorry!”
14. A sogra se desculpando com a nora por tê-la chamado pelo nome da ex do filho.

Outro exemplo: “Money is liquid”.

1. “Do you mind? I only have Euros, my dollars are all dried up.”
2. “I wouldn’t if I were you. Investing in their stock at this moment is like
3. pouring your money down the drain.”
4. “Terrible really. They have only just started liquidating assets. I wonder
5. how long they can stay afloat…”
6. “Obviously, in a situation like that, anybody would find it difficult to keep
7. their head above water, financially I mean…”
8. “…can’t believe that NICTEL went under!” “Yup, sank like a rock after the
9. Argentine crisis.”
10. “…getting restless. You know, this wage freeze hasn’t been very
11. popular.”
12. “…until my paycheque arrives before I’m solvent again.”

“Treating illnesses is a war”

1. “It is possible to win the war against the HIV epidemic;”
2. “There is no magic bullet that can cure cancer;”
3. “HIV batters the body’s defenses;”
4. “You’ll win the battle against this terrible disease.”

O conceito de causalidade me fez lembrar dos famosos phrasal verbs e, por que não, as expressões idiomáticas. Manipulamos a realidade, fazendo nossa experiência ser refletida na linguagem.
“To put someone trough the mill” é causar dor em alguém, ou dificuldades para alguém;
Através da coerência entre os dois domínios, o sentido se estabelece:
Temos num domínio A elementos da moagem de milho; num domínio B, alguém passando por dificuldades ou um momento de dor. É da projeção (mapeamento?) de elementos do domínio A no domínio B que o sentido emerge. Seria esta a proposta de Lakoff e Johnson?
Se eu viajei demais é febre! Febre de verdade (38 graus!) Febre metafórica!
Um abraço a todos,
Sandra Becker
