De la métaphore dans les proverbes

Mirella Conenna & Georges Kleiber : Metaphor in proverbs The authors try to confirm the idea that so-called metaphorical proverbs show the same characteristics as classical lexical metaphors. They thus apply a grid of metaphorical analysis to the interpretation of one specific proverb chosen as a typical case. They also study the synecdochical link between proverbial meaning and literal meaning, as displayed by several proverbs. They also study, to a certain extent, the problem of proverbs and metaphor in general.Conenna Mirella, Kleiber Georges. De la métaphore dans les proverbes. In: Langue française, n°134, 2002.
