La metáfora y la metonimia como elementos integradores del discurso científico

Abstract

This bibliographical research, analytical and refl ective which takes the form of the trial, aims to highlight the use and importance of rhetorical fi gures metonymy and metaphor in scientifi c language. In this regard it is that human language has a number of features that make it meaningful and allow our world view is different from animals. With it we can state a principle, as the law of gravity, to design realities that are not immediately perceptible to the senses, as the theory of relativity. So the ability to analyze reality allows us to abstract language and that language allows us to imagine the reality, the world bone. These linguistic devices which we refer, bone metaphor and metonymy, beyond the scope of rhetorical and literary to be installed in everyday language and also in science. Lexicalized expressions fi gures constitute a greater or lesser degree of lexicalization making it almost invisible to the speakers, is going almost unnoticed, but being able to create a series of conceptual systems by way of principles or axioms shape our world view and even inspire the development of science settling at the bottom of our deepest beliefs
