Resumo: Based on a corpus composed of 64 Language Learning Histories, the article focuses on the way the image of learners is talked about metaphorically in young English language learners’ discourse. The metaphors found were qualitatively analyzed according to the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (LAKOFF & JOHNSON, 1980) and the Image Schemas (LAKOFF, 1987). The results show that the group of learners investigated conceptualizes themselves as workers, machines, containers and builders. It thus, seems clear that there is a need to conduct research on this topic to provide reflective development by teachers and researchers about the teaching and learning process of this language nowadays.

As metáforas encontradas foram analisadas qualitativamente à luz das teorias da Metáfora Conceptual (LAKOFF e JOHNSON, 1980) e dos Esquemas Imagéticos (LAKOFF, 1987). A partir da análise, evidencia-se que este grupo de aprendizes se conceptualiza como trabalhadores, máquinas, contêineres e construtores. Fica evidente, portanto, a necessidade da realização de pesquisas sobre esse tema para proporcionar um desenvolvimento reflexivo por parte de professores e pesquisadores acerca do processo de ensino e aprendizagem desse idioma, nos dias atuais.Edunisc2016-03-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/signo/article/view/604610.17058/signo.v41i70.6046Signo; v. 41 n. 70 (2016): Metáfora e metonímia: múltiplos olhares; 166-1751982-2014reponame:Signo (Santa Cruz do Sul.
