Abstract

The author analyses from a cognitive perspective different metaphors in two texts by Kafka and Brecht through translations into several Romance languages. When metaphors are based on parts of the human body, there is a tendency to share the origin in many different languages, enabling a contrastive study. The dissertation also studies the evolution of the different types of metaphors. In a final instance, it describes the translation strategies comparing them with the stylistic characteristics of the source texts.
