| Sumario: | Terminological metaphors, far from being a factor that leads to conceptual obscurity, act like a cognitive hook, since they guide the construction of knowledge and the development of science, and its diffusion in situations of asymmetrical knowledge. According to its production environment and reception, they acquire different functions and semantic delimitations, which are distinctive of their own nature. In the present article, we observe the characteristics of these metaphors in two discursive spaces, the scientific and the popularization of science, with the aim of highlighting the particularities of these metaphors. Additionally, we describe the influence of cognitive, linguistic, and communicative aspects in their formation and improvements within the scientific discourse. |
