Processamento da metáfora, Neurociência, fMRI, Meta-análiseResumen
As pesquisas com neuroimagem acerca do processamento da metáfora apresentam achados distintos, o que implica dificuldades na formulação de um paradigma teórico de base neurológica da metáfora. Neste estudo, argumentamos que a falta de clareza de aspectos conceituais sobre a metáfora sob uma perspectiva linguística implica diversidades no desenho dos experimentos e incongruências nos achados. Para sustentar esse argumento, apresentamos uma análise qualitativa de um corpus composto por 20 experimentos com neuroimagem acerca do processamento da metáfora sob dois aspectos: os fundamentos conceituais de metáfora e os achados obtidos nos experimentos. Verificamos que a ausência de um diálogo entre Neurociência e Linguística sobre as propriedades da metáfora resulta numa delimitação problemática de um padrão de processamento da metáfora sob um viés neurológico.
