This study aimed to describe, in a literary corpus, both the conceptual metaphoric as well as its linguistic manifestations concerning intertextuality, and possible ways for a constructive and autonomous understanding in texts written in Portuguese and produced in different cultures.The selected material have included, in the Brazilian literature, a metaliterary trilogy by Lygia Bojunga Nunes; in the Portuguese literature, two short stories by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen; and as for the African literature, we have opted for the Mozambique representation, with a novel by Mia Couto. The works by the first two authors are read by 14 to 17-year-ld youngsters in their native countries and the work by Mia Couto is referred here since it is considered to be an enriching possibility for the reader in formation.We have worked with the metaphor defined in the fundamentals of Cognitive Semantics, because it follows the basic principle of unveiling the associations which will found our mental schema and whose knowledge allows that even the most obscure emission will seem to be predictability based on our own experiences, the texts we retrieve from memory and the context that we build with the linguistics data which fill in the frame of a given scenario.The metaphor has proved to be productive in our analyses because we have associated its conceptual genesis with its pragmatic function. It is in this fusion that it becomes language, it is magnificent and deviant, and reveals to the interlocutor the marks that forward it to the original circularity, that is, the concept from which it was generated.By applying the theory to the analyzed corpus, we have verified that by means of the principles of the conceptual metaphor and of the intertextuality we can understand what is universal and what is cultural in our literary expressions and that the frontier between these two dimensions does not fracture the dialogue which is made urgent and necessary in the defense of a lusophonic culture
