This study analyses cognitive models underlying a number of phraseological
expressions in Spanish. The expressions which will be discussed were selected from a
collection of more than 250 units taken from the most recent Spanish dictionaries and
phraseological repertoires. All of these units are fixed expressions which are used in
present-day Spanish (mostly in the European variety) to refer to people’s ways of
speaking – by a verb of speech such as hablar (speak, talk), decir (say, tell) etc. The
meaning of these expressions, together with the presence of verbs of speech, allows us
to label them “metalinguistic”. Indeed, these phraseological expressions belong to what
Rey-Debove described as “natural metalanguage”, more specifically, to the nonscientific metalanguage used in everyday discourse. Such expressions, which are found
in different languages, are particularly significant as a reflection of how linguistic
communication is conceptualized. Based mainly on Lakoff and Johnson’s theoretical
frame, this study uncovers the ‘folk’ understanding of Spanish speakers about language
reflected in the data, and shows how this particular speech community perceives and
interprets this field of reality. [--]
