Within the framework of Lakoff and Johnson´s Theory of
Conceptual
Metaphor, this thesis identifies and analyzes metaphors
for reading
comprehension and interpretation occurring in five widely
adopted collections of
Brazilian Portuguese textbooks. The work sets out from the
following hypotheses:
(a) linguistic metaphors employed in these textbooks
around the notions of
reading comprehension and interpretation provide valuable
clues as to the
underlying language conception followed by the authors;
and (b) these textbooks
still take language for granted as an unproblematic means
of communication,
capable of working in a transparent and homogeneous
manner, as a clear uniform
a-historic system that is semantically autonomous and
abstracts users and
contexts. According to the theoretical framework adopted,
the work identifies and
analyzes structural, orientational and ontological
metaphors which have as their
target-domain the notions of text, meaning, and reading.
The analyzed data
include textbook prefaces, on the one hand, and reading
comprehension and
interpretation activities, on the other. The results of
this research bear out its initial
hypotheses, and point to a mismatch between the conception
of language
suggested or made explicit in the prefaces and that
occurring in the textbooks´
proposed activities.
