Abstract

The debate about what metaphors mean is a constant in various areas of the contemporary thought./nFrom literary studies to cognitive science or linguistics, metaphor has been interpreted as an instance of/nthe basic language for understanding not only how we communicate, but how our mind works. On the/nother hand, the idea of a contingency of language and communicative action, in which individuals of a/nlanguage community form the basis of its development, gains ground for a practical and accurate/nunderstanding of social progress. From these assumptions, the reflection developed in these pages will/naim to re-discuss some notions and theories on metaphor and its relationship to the concepts of «truth»/nand «meaning», trying to place it in the frames of use and the cultural conversation in the contingency/nof our language.
