Resumo: | In this article we present a study about journey metaphors in English language learning histories (LLHs), using the Cognitive Linguistic concepts of metaphor and image schema. The data were extracted from the LLHs corpus of the project AMFALE. In order to search the examples of the conceptual metaphor THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING IS A JOURNEY, we used the internal Google search engine, from the website that hosts the AMFALE corpus, and searched excerpts words from the journey semantic field in Portuguese and English. Next, for the analysis, we selected the more salient metaphors in the list of examples. We divided the analysis in three parts, according to the journey image schema, SOURCE-PATH-GOAL. The analysis suggests that the majority of the metaphors is related to the learning process, metaphorized as a path, although we also found few metaphors related to the journey source and goal. |

Os dados foram retirados do corpus de narrativas de aprendizagem de inglês do projeto AMFALE . Para localizar os exemplos de metáforas que têm como base a metáfora conceitual A APRENDIZAGEM DE LÍNGUA INGLESA É UMA VIAGEM , utilizamos o mecanismo de busca do Google, interno ao site que hospeda o corpus do AMFALE, e fizemos buscas com palavras do campo semântico viagem em português e em inglês. Em seguida selecionamos exemplos onde a metáfora era mais salientes e escolhemos alguns deles para nossa análise. Dividimos a análise em três partes, a partir do esquema imagético da viagem, origem-percurso-destino. A análise evidencia que a maioria das metáforas está relacionada ao processo de aprendizagem metaforizado como um percurso, apesar de encontrarmos também algumas poucas metáforas se referindo à origem e ao destino da viagem.Edunisc2016-03-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/signo/article/view/575210.17058/signo.v41i70.5752Signo; v. 41 n. 70 (2016): Metáfora e metonímia: múltiplos olhares; 155-1651982-2014reponame:Signo (Santa Cruz do Sul.
