Abstract

Discussing the translation problems of metaphors in a text of literary quality means in the first place to take position with respect to the concept of metaphor. Drawing on the perspective of cognitive linguistics, one proposes a new typology of the metaphor and a new gradualness of metaphorical transparency through which it is possible to characterize various problems of translation.
