Esto debido a que las metáforas de palabras de animales femeninas principalmente son usadas como insultos, en comparación con las versiones masculinas, que suelen ser usadas como cumplidos. El estudio toma una perspectiva interdisciplinaria combinando las teorías de metáforas conceptuales... (More)

El estudio toma una perspectiva interdisciplinaria combinando las teorías de metáforas conceptuales que cabe dentro de la lingüística cognitiva y la perspectiva de género en el análisis.

La tesina arguye que las metáforas de animales investigadas transmiten ideas de género y estereotipos de masculinidad y feminidad. (Less)
