A metáfora da violência na sala de aula.

Abstract

Verbal language is one o f the most important forms for human communication. It is through it own that human being expresses thoughts and interacts with others. The use o f language to assist the material needs often goes through a metaphorized dimension and in this sense the ideas begin being expressed through metaphorical constructions, because this use, along humanevolution, has become an effective way to social life.The theoretical rationale was based on the theory o f Lakoff and Johnson on everyday metaphors and howthe metaphorical use of the ideas has as reference some aspects related to the human body, for example, that is why most metaphors have the reference o f human perceptions, such as direction, dimension, among others. One o f the motivations for the metaphorical use to become into physical attitudes, like violence, is described along this work and reflects a behavior that has become common in many social settings, such as school, which gives us the study object: violence in the classroom from metaphorized constructions from texts produced by students o f the 3rd year o f high school on the topic. We also emphasize that violence at school almost always begins by linguistic constructions that lead to aggression, bullyng.
