Da metáfora em sua face retórica

Abstract

In this work, I aim to show that previous clarification of the role of metaphor in bargaining of meaning is a core element in the make up of philosophy of rhetoric. To acheive this, I refer to the trail-blazing examination performed by I.A.Richards on the theme of metaphor in the work titled 'The Philosophy of Rhetoric', and I build upon this examination by applying a Wittgensteinian view of language learning.
