Metáforas eróticas em corpus musical feminino em língua espanhola

Abstract

One of the most pervasive art forms most present in our lives is music. Because musical taste is so personal, one of the most popular themes in song lyrics is what ails us most: relationships, mainly romantic ones - both successful and unsuccessful. A major part of our communication is metaphor, studied mainly and deeply by Lakoff and Johnson since the 1980s. Among other studies, these authors show that this figure of speech is a cognitive operation, reflecting how we see the world and demanding analogical reasoning and interpretative ability (Zanotto, 1998). The aim of this work is to identify metaphors in a corpus of Spanish-language music, a total of 291 pop songs by six female singer-songwriters of different nationalities, using the research methodology of Corpus Linguistics, in addition to a qualitative and quantitative analysis, under the theories of metaphor by Lakoff and Johnson and later studies, such as Berber Sardinha, identifying the relationships with our conceptual system on the chosen theme. At the same time, we seek to identify expressions that may or may not be Phraseological Units, under the Phraseology according to Corpas Pastor and Berber Sardinha. The study will seek to answer the main questions: What are the most recurrent metaphors in the corpus of study, marked by semantic traces of eroticization, within the theme of romantic love? What phraseological units with erotic metaphorical value are present in the corpus? Of the phraseological units found, what metaphorical relationship has been identified between them? With the intention of answering these questions, I intend to contribute to the study of metaphor and phraseology in Spanish, to reflect on how this use in compositions can demonstrate a worldview and to develop studies using tools for analysis in Corpus Linguistics, with WordSmith Tools 6.0 (Scott, 2012) and the ADESSE platform of the Universidad de Vigo.
