ABSTRACT

The present work arose from our interest in human understanding, conceptualization and the metaphorical structuring of reality. More specifically, our concern is with the structure of, and with the processes involve in structuring, discourse through conceptual metaphors in two languages. The study contains the results of demarcating and viewing the semantics of metaphorization in four areas of human conceptualization, namely, love, death, economics, and politics. Although English and Spanish are the languages researched for instantiations of these metaphors, the semantic elements and situations are taken to be fundamental, that is, they are considered to be a part of an almost universal semantic organization, deeper than those respects in which individual languages differ from each other. The decision of investigating these conceptual metaphors crossculturally was dictated by the fact that the production and interpretation of a metaphor calls on not only the semantic properties of words but also beliefs about the objects or situations depicted. In Chapter 1 we provide a brief account of the treatment that (explicit) metaphor has received from traditional studies on literature and linguistics. Chapter 2 is devoted to summarize the Conceptual Metaphor theory proposed by Lakoff and Johnson, its antecedents and later contributions, within a cognitive perspective. Finally, in Chapter 3 the study is presented. Carbonell's methodology was partially adopted for the analysis of oral and written discourses. The selected data gathered is presented in tables and is thouroughly discussed in each specific area. A general discussion closes this chapter. The corpus used in this investigation and the complete data gathered are presented in appendixes A and B, respectively.

CHAPTER ONE THE LITERARY AND THE LINGUISTIC APPROACH TO METAPHOR

1. Introduction
Literary and linguistic traditions share a common conception of understanding: they view it as subjective and objective, and deal with each perspective separately. According to Lakoff and Johnson (1980), present-day scientific understanding has its origins in Objectivism, which is based in the following principles: 1. there is an objective reality completely separated from us, made up of objects, having properties independent of any people or other beings in the universe who experience them; 2. our knowledge is based on our experience of the objects in the world and the properties and relations that hold them together. The inherent properties that objects have allow us to understand them in terms of concepts and categories; 3. we cannot rely upon the subjective judgments of individual people because, as human beings, we are subject to errors of perception. Science provides us with a methodology that allows us to overcome our subjective limitations and to achieve understanding from a universally valid and unbiased point of view; 4. only objective knowledge is really knowledge, since it is an unconditional point of view to understand the entire amount of world phenomena, avoiding personal prejudice and bias; 5. to be objective is to be rational (1980: 187). For the scientist, truth is objective and absolute. The standard theory of truth is the "Correspondence Theory": a statement has an objective meaning, specifying the conditions under which it is true. Truth consists of a direct correspondence between a statement and some state of affairs in the world. A theory of truth entails a theory of Meaning. Theories of language follow in general the objectivist trend, and linguistics, a social science, seeks to apply the theoretical and methodological principles used by the natural sciences (with physics as the model). These also called empirical sciences depend on the formal sciences (mathematics and logic), which contribute to build the theory of truth already mentioned. The objectivist tradition in Western Philosophy is preserved to this day in the descendants of the logical positivists, the Fregean tradition, the tradition of Husserl, and , in Linguistics, in the neorationalism that came out of the Chomsky tradition. (Lakoff and Johnson 1980: 195) The following is a representative list of the assumptions about Language, Meaning, Truth, and Understanding that the majority of objectivist philosophers and linguists holds, in Lakoff and Johnson's opinion: truth is a matter of fitting words to the world; a theory of meaning for natural language is based on a theory of truth, independent of the way people understand and use Language; meaning is objective and disembodied, independent of human understanding; sentences are abstract objects with inherent structures; the meaning of a sentence can be obtained from the meaning of its parts and the structure of the sentence; how a person understands a sentence, and what it means to him, is a function of the objective meaning of the sentence and of what the person believes about the world and about the context in which the sentence is uttered. According to different theories of meaning, the objective meaning of a sentence is described as the conditions under which this is true or false. Semantics is the study of how linguistic expressions can fit the world directly, without the intervention of human understanding. Meanings are assigned to words without referring to particular contexts of use. The world is made up of building blocks, i.e., definable objects and clearly delineated inherent properties and relations. The problem of meaning is directly related to the already mentioned problem underlying (and undermining) scientific Objectivism: the bi-directional influence between subject-object. Lorenz (1973), a well-known naturalist, considers this a crucial matter; he states that in order to avoid subjective criteria (prejudice and emotions) and to achieve universally valid judgments and evaluations we need to penetrate into the cognitive processes of the perceiving subject.

8 The process of cognition and the properties of the object of knowledge will only be able to be investigated when they are undertaken simultaneously. The object of knowledge and the instrument of knowledge cannot legitimately be separated, but must be taken together as a whole. (Lorenz 1973: 12) Along with objectivism, there is a subjectivist trend: the most important things in human lives are feelings, aesthetic sensibilities, moral practices, and spiritual awareness, which are purely subjective; understanding must be concerned with art and poetry, which deal with feelings, intuitions, and imagination rather than with reason. Objectivity ignores the most relevant areas of human experience. However, subjectivism and objectivism are mutually dependent and each defines itself in opposition to the other. It is from these different perspectives that scholars in literature and linguistics have approached metaphor.

1. The literary approach.

Metaphor has been generally viewed as a constituent of figurative language in poetics, that is, the use of words different from their ordinary, literal meanings. Metaphor is a figure of speech which expresses one thing in terms of another, expanding meanings through unexpected associations among things that are essentially unlike and that are related through implied comparisons. Jakobson includes it in the poetic function of language: he conceives of metaphor and metonymy as foundational figures (tropes) of poetics, as discussed by Tambling (1988: 36-54). Within the Greek tradition, Aristotle gives the following definition: "A metaphor consists in giving the thing a name that belongs to something else..." (in Haussman 1989: 22). In 1560, in The Art of Rhetoric, Thomas Wilson states that: A metaphor is an alteration of a word, from the proper and natural meaning to that which is not proper, and yet agreeth thereunto by some likeness that appeareth to be in it. (in Butler 1971: item 232) C. S. Lewis (1967) argues that, in order to make sense "out of a strange phrase" the reader must have an appropriate knowledge of possible meanings: "He has ready to hand un-thought-of metaphors, highly individual shades of feelings, subtle associations, ambiguities -every manner of semantic gymnastics- which he can attribute to his author" (p. 5). If we turn to a current book on literature, such as Bergman and Epstein's The Heath Guide To Poetry (1983), we find a good example of a present day approach to the subject: The transformation of one thing into another is called metaphor. It is the most powerful figure of speech and very likely the most essential act of poetical intelligence. (p. 126) It is of great importance to remark here that the notion literary analysts have concerning metaphor is that it depends entirely on the author's personal meaning, imagination, and creativeness; thus language is used beyond its normal use to create meanings which did not exist before, as can be concluded from the following quotations: People who naturally employ metaphor and simile, especially when it is of an unusual kind, are said to have imagination... some attitude of the speaker to his subject or to his audience is a supreme agent by which disparated and hitherto unconnected things are brought together in poetry for the sake of the effects upon attitude and impulse which spring from their collocation and from the combinations which the mind then establishes between them. (Richards 1938: 239) ...metaphor vastly extends the language at the poet's disposal... the range of terminology at the poet's disposal (Nowottny, in Buttler 1971: item 237). ...a meaningless sentence, one that is meaningless by reasons of a "category mistake"...could be used by the poet to communicate what he wanted to communicate. (Alston, in Butler 1971: item 246) ...through its use the imagination exploits the excitement of sensational experience. (Peacock, in Butler 1971: item 251) Up to this point, the various conceptions of metaphor quoted seem not to differ from the basic, seminal definition given by Aristotle, except as concerns the metaphorical process and the composition of the metaphorical elements. Some authors see in metaphor a kind of comparison, parallelism, and/or analogy between two elements, while others, as we will see later, conceive it as the creation of new meanings. Similarly, the elements within a metaphor can be viewed as alike in some sense, showing at least some common features, or can be seen as completely different from each other. It would be easy to expound a grammatical theory of metaphor, hyperbole and figurative language, pointing out the suppressed 'as if's, 'is like's, and the rest of the locutions that may be introduced to turn poetry into logically respectable prose. But we should... be very little advanced towards persuading one of these hard-headed fellows that poets are worth reading. (Richards 1929: 193)

9 A metaphor is a relation between two terms in a sentence or phrase. Basically, it requires the presence of both terms. Following a current definition, a metaphor generally takes the form of a copulative construction, i.e., elements linked by the verb to be (Hausmann 1989: 52). It may also have the form of a sentence in which the metaphorical relation is established between its subject and the verb, or it may even take the form of a noun phrase. Lucy is an angel/ Time flies/ A human elephant. These three examples show the most common forms metaphors take. Hausmann (1989) calls the first an explicit identification. The second, an instance of an implicit identification since it "presupposes contexts that do include such identities... Time flies presupposes identifying what time refers to with something that flies" (p. 52). As to the third example, he considers it an implicit identification, provided one agrees with the conception of adjectives constituting a subset of verbs. The two elements which constitute the metaphorical expressions have been given many different labels; in our opinion, the most common and simplest way to put it is in the metaphorical formula 'X is Y'. Many authors have followed Richards' conceptualization: The technical terms... assist us in distinguishing from one another what Dr. Johnson called the two ideas that any metaphor, at its simplest, gives us. Let me call them the tenor and the vehicle. (Richards, in Butler 1971: item 240) 'X' is the tenor of the metaphor, the element which is being referred to, defined, identified, and the purported definition. 'Y' is its vehicle, "the image analog in terms of which the tenor is represented" (Leech 1969: 151). From Aristotle to present-day scholars, the broadest conception of metaphor defines it as an implied comparison between X and Y; X is in fact like or as it were Y. Metaphor is associated with a particular rule of transference, which we may simply call the metaphoric rule and which we may formulate: F = 'like L'. That is, the figurative meaning F is derived from the literal meaning L. (p. 151) Against this view, Hausmann (1989) and those whom he calls interactionists propose that a metaphorical relation constitutes a creation of an entire new meaning, an insight which has not been established before. A mere comparison implies no creation. Most scholars see as well the need for the similarity between both elements, which must resemble each other at least in one feature: Naturally enough, metaphoric transference can only take place if some likeness is perceived between tenor and vehicle. (Leech 1969: 151) Another way of seeing this relation is to deny any previous similarity between X and Y, and then divide the meaning of words: dictionary meaning and suggested connotation: Metaphors play on the transfer of some marginal meaning (connotation) of one term in a metaphor to the central meaning (dictionary meaning) of the other term. (Hausmann 1989: 26) Moreover, The (metaphorical) terms will be drawn from domains that are (or were) radically different from one another. The metaphor depends not simply on similarities, but also on dissimilarities. ... Aristotle did not so clearly support a comparison theory, as it is usually thought, at least in any simple form. He called attention to the role of dissimilarities and added that one cannot learn a technique for constructing metaphors -for seeing similarity in dissimilars- but instead must have intuitive perceptions. The command of metaphor is a gift and cannot be taught. (p. 29) Finally, Leech (1969) has attempted to establish the most general changes of meaning metaphor involves: attribution of concreteness or physical existence to an abstraction (e.g., love hurts); attribution of animate characteristics to inanimate entities (e.g., an angry sky); attribution of characteristics of humanity to what is not human (e.g., a friendly river); and transference of meaning from one domain of sensory perception to another (e.g., warm colour). Summing up, metaphor has been treated as a unique phenomenon within the literary tradition. As we will see later, this approach has restricted the analysis of metaphor to the artistic creativity observed in literature, disregarding its use in everyday language and its conceptual pervasiveness.

3. The linguistic approach.

The term 'metaphor' comes from the Greek words , signifying 'change', and , signifying 'to bear'; hence its primary meaning 'to transfer' and its later extension of 'transferring of a word from its literal signification' (Skeat 1901: 325). This term came to traditional grammar from the long-lasting discussion held by Classical Greek scholars on the subject of the origin of the rules which govern language. For some of them, language was a matter of convention, a tacit

10 agreement among members of a community, reinforced through custom and tradition. For others, language has its origins, as Lyons puts it, "in eternal and immutable principles outside man himself"(1968: 5), principles which are therefore inviolable. The relevant issue in this discussion is that of the nature of the meaning-form relation of words. For the naturalist school, the relation between a word and its meaning is a 'natural' one, in the sense that a word either resembles its referent (onomatopoeia) or is suggestive or imitative of some qualities or activities of things (soundsymbolism). There are however many more cases of words whose natural meaning is extended through a series of processes such as addition, deletion, substitution, and transposition of sounds, on the one hand, and metaphor, on the other. For the Greeks, metaphor was based on the discernible connection observed between the shape or function of the primary and secondary referents. In this way, naturalists explained "metaphorical extensions" such as the mouth of a river or the leg of a table. These early attempts on a theory of language meaning proved to be very useful for the developments of etymological studies. But, as Palmer remarks, It may seem obvious that foot is appropriate to mountains, or eye to needles, but a glance at other languages shows that it is not. In French the needle does not have an 'eye', and in many languages (e. g. the Ethiopian languages or some of those of North America) the mountain does not have a 'foot'. Moreover, in English eye is used with a variety of other meanings, e. g. the centre of a hurricane or a spring of water, which are not so obviously related semantically to the organ of sight, yet it is not used for the centre of a flower or an indentation, though these might seem intuitively to be reasonable candidates for the extension of the meaning. (1981: 103-4) Linguistic tradition has recognized, to a great extent, if not totally, the literary authority over the subject. Therefore, it is of no surprise that for most linguists the concept of metaphor differs only slightly from that of the literary tradition already outlined. It is generally described as an exceptional event among the rest of linguistic phenomena, as a kind of marginal meaning (Bloomfield 1933: 149). The first approach to metaphor linguists seemed to have had was that it is a case of semantic violation, a deviation from the 'normal', 'logical' meanings of utterances, what Leech describes as "the process whereby literal absurdity leads the mind to comprehension on a figurative plane" (1969: 49). The distinction made was, in general, between a literal meaning and a metaphorical one. The metaphorical meaning was achieved through processes of non-logical meaning production accounted for in terms of ambiguity, paradox, contradiction, etc. The production and understanding of metaphors in these terms depend on the creative aspect of language, which differs from Chomsky's competence (1968) in that it refers to voluntary, conscious creativeness, i.e., the one required in poetical works. Traditional and structuralist linguistic trends have, at best, developed a way to make apparent the kind of 'anomaly' present in metaphors, whatever this anomaly might be. Other authors consider metaphor a process more useful for historical linguistics. To illustrate this approach, let us take Robins' (1964) definition of metaphor, who conceives of it as a means whereby the meaning of a word changes through time. A very extensive type of semantic widening consists in metaphorical uses, wherein on the basis of some similarity of the meanings a word is used in different sorts of contexts and in reference to different sorts of features, usually of a more abstract nature, than once was the case. Metaphorical extension of meaning... is too well known to require exemplification. (p. 303) Similar examples of the little attention paid to metaphor is seen in language comprehensive works, like those of Quirk et al. (1985) and Palmer (1981), who simply relate it to figurative, non-literal, and transferred meaning. Greimas (1966) groups images, symbols, and metaphorical definitions as 'figures' without a practical function in logical language, and therefore only interesting to literary studies. Figurative meanings replace literal meanings as 'bricolage' only to serve to 'something else', which is the poetic communication itself (p. 207). An early understanding of metaphor as a crucial aspect of language function and thought can be found in Ogden and Richards' Symbolism, i.e., the study of the influence of language upon thought. They state that language meaning operates within a universe of discourse, "a collection of occasions on which we communicate by means of symbols." When we say... "The sun is trying to come out," or "The mountain rises," we may clearly be making no different references than if we were to give a scientific description of the situation, but we may mean these assertions to be taken 'literally'... interpreting our symbols... as names used with a reference fixed by a given universe of discourse. (1923: 102) When we do not have a symbol at hand we can choose one whose referent is analogous to our referent and transfer this symbol. Then if the speaker fails to see that such symbol is metaphorical, i.e., if he takes it literally, "falsity arises, namely the correct symbolization of a false reference by which the interpreter could be misled" (pp. 102-3). Furthermore, whenever a term is taken outside the universe of discourse for which it has been defined, it "becomes a metaphor, and may be in need of fresh definition" (p. 111). ...reference... cannot be formed simply and directly by one grouping of experience, but it is the result of varied groupings of experiences whose very difference enables their common elements to survive in isolation. This process of selection and elimination is always at work in the acquisition of a vocabulary

11 and the development of thought. It is rare for words to be formed into contexts with non-symbolic experience directly, for as a rule they are learnt only through other words. We early begin to use language in order to learn language, but since it is no mere matter of the acquisition of synonyms or alternative locutions, the same stressing of similarities between references and elimination of their differences through conflict is required. By these means we develop references of greater and greater abstractness, and metaphor, the primitive symbolization of abstraction, becomes possible. Metaphor, in the most general sense, is the use of one reference to a group of things between which a given relation holds, for the purpose of facilitating the discrimination of an analogous relation in another group. (p. 213) The use of metaphor, according to these authors, involves the same kind of contexts as abstract thought; the important point is that the members of "a group of things" will only possess the relevant feature in common, and that irrelevant or accidental features will cancel one another. The metaphorical aspects of the greater part of language, and the ease with which any word may be used metaphorically, further indicate the degree to which... words have gained contexts through other words. (p. 213) Here what matters is the reference process itself and its discursive purpose; the structure is irrelevant. As can be seen, as far back as 1923, Ogden and Richards stressed the basic relationship among thought, language, and metaphor; an approach that has only recently been taken into account. Within generative semantics, there is a large amount of different approaches to metaphor in relation to a semantically-based linguistic analysis of anomalous sentences and their contribution to the elucidation of semantic selectional features (Galmiche 1975: 14, 71). An extreme example of this wide range of conceptions is that of Thorne (1968): he tries to explain the existence of 'ungrammatical', 'deviant' sentences in poetry by postulating the poet's creation of "a new language (or dialect)" in which the semantic selectional restrictions are different from those in the normal language. However, he never takes the concept of metaphor, nor even that of connotative meaning, into account. Lakoff (1973) proposes a theory which analyses sentences in terms of their logical structure, surface structure, context, and conveyed meanings. According to this author, the "literal meaning" of a sentence is a function of its logical structure and its derivation into surface structure. The conveyed meaning of a sentence is explained in terms of the relevant aspects of context. Consequently, two different lines of investigation can be adopted in semantics, one dealing with language structure and the other, with language use, that is, with Pragmatics. Nevertheless, Most grammars have been concerned exclusively with literal meaning, and this kind of analysis is necessary before a meaningful study of pragmatics can begin. ... in comparing a system like generative semantics to that of case grammar, it is the analysis of literal meanings that must be compared, not the conveyed meanings...pragmatics left aside. (Cook 1979: 144-145) A sociolinguist approach to metaphor is that of Grice (in Palmer 1981), who suggests a general COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLE between speaker and hearer, including the 'maxim' of quality: "Try to make your contribution one that is true." Grice points out that this maxim "...is flouted by irony and metaphor (You're the cream in my coffee) -and the hearer has to work out what it is that the speaker is trying to convey" (pp. 174-5). A pragmatic approach to metaphor is that of Searle (in Haussman 1989, Lakoff 1992), who postulates that the phenomenon of metaphor is related to the difference between sentence/ utterance meaning and speaker's meaning. In a metaphorical expression, both the literal (sentence) and the metaphorical (speaker's) meanings are present, the former being the explicit message and the latter what the hearer must comprehend through searching something the speaker utters that is not expressed when the sentence is interpreted literally. What is uttered is an attribution of some features of the second term to the first one, and both components of metaphors are related so that both must be taken into account if utterance meaning is to be determined. 'X' restricts the range of meaning that can be recognized in the metaphorical sentence and in the speaker's utterance. The hearer or reader understands the metaphor's utterance meaning (which makes sense of the original sentence, or the metaphor) attending to these restrictions. In Searle's own terms, "the combination of S and P (subject terms and predicate terms of a metaphorical sentence) creates new R's (the predicate of the utterance meaning). We have a specific set of associations with the 'P' terms, but different 'S' terms restrict the values of R differently" (Haussman 1989: 43). To illustrate this, he uses two metaphors: Kant's second argument for the trascendental deduction is so much mud/gravel/sand paper. Sam's voice is gravel. Both metaphorical meanings are different because of the difference between Kant's argument and Sam's voice. The predicate gravel has different meanings in each sentence. We subscribe Searle's conception in the following respect: there is a selection of some features from all the possible features lying in the connotative depth. But the idea that the selection is based on the type of subject that fills X position seems to be rather structural. The meaning to be conveyed by the speaker depends on what the speaker himself wants to convey, together with the context in which the metaphorical utterance is performed. The hearer must therefore make use of a complex set of clues to decode the

12 underlying meaning, including the specification of the subject defined (X), knowledge of the world shared by both participants, the personal information the hearer has about the speaker, the immediate context of situation, seriousness on the part of the speaker (who may be being ironical, e.g., saying Lucy is an angel when both participants know that she is not good or compassionate at all; in this sense, seriousness can be included in the shared knowledge or even in the immediate context, so that there seems to be considerable overlapping), and many others. Searle says that in cases like Sally is a block of ice we just perceive a connection which is the basis of the interpretation; these connections, according to Lakoff (1992), coincide with the system of Conceptual Metaphors, a central part of synchronic linguistics. Nevertheless, in his account for literal meaning, Searle subscribes "the usual false assumptions that accompany that term" (p. 67): everyday, conventional language is literal and not metaphorical in its nature, therefore metaphor is in the domain of principles of language use. ...we can see why most philosophers of language have the range of views on metaphor that they have: They accept the traditional literal-figurative distinction. They... say that there is no metaphorical meaning, and most metaphorical utterances are either trivially true or trivially false. Or... they will assume that metaphor is in the realm of pragmatics, that is, that a metaphorical meaning is no more than the literal meaning of some other sentence which can be arrived at by some pragmatic principle. This is required, since the only real meaning for them is literal meaning, and pragmatic principles are those principles that allow one to say one thing (with a literal meaning) and mean something else (with a different, but nonetheless literal, meaning) (Lakoff 1992: 82). The term connotation is crucially important to delimit the approach to metaphor in semantics. Connotative content is distinguished from denotative content (also labelled, dictionary or central meaning by different authors), which overlaps with the notion of reference, a criterion for the correct use of a word provided the properties (semantic features) which define that word. Connotative meaning is the communicative value an expression has by virtue of what it refers to, over and above its purely conceptual content. This is why some authors considers connotation as a part of pragmatics (Baldinger 1977: 227). There is a multitude of additional non-criterial properties that we have learned to expect a referent of a word to possess, beside its 'neutral' denotation. Connotative meaning has been viewed as more attached to reality itself than to language proper, a peripheral phenomenon depending on the context of expression and, for that reason, unstable, depending on the particular cultural and historical period, and on the experience of an individual speaker. While the denotative, central meaning of an expression has the form of a finite set of discrete features of meaning, connotation is open ended, infinite as our knowledge and beliefs about the universe. An interesting example of this distinction is the one given by Leech (1974) when he lists the denotative features related to the word woman: [+ human] [- male] [+ adult] Leech includes next physical, psychological, social characteristics, "typical concomitants of womanhood", and putative features: [+ biped] [+ having a womb] [+ gregarious] [+ subject to maternal instinct] [+ capable of speech] [+ experienced in cooking] [+ skirt or dress-wearing] [+ prone to tears] [+ frail] [+ cowardly] [+ emotional] [+ irrational] [+ inconstant] [+ gentle] [+ compassionate] [+ sensitive] [+ hard-working] [- trouser-wearing] It is evident that such a list of constituents may be infinite and that they are highly dependant on cultural biases, as well as on sex, age, personal opinions, preferences, and so on. Whenever a sentence or a word is uttered, it maps both a

13 connotative and a denotative meaning, since every expression of language is uttered by a given person in a given context. Metaphors are forms of expressing this connotative meaning. The connection between the terms in a metaphorical relation lies in connotation. The denotative meaning is left aside while some of the numerous connotative meanings are selected as underlying semantic features of a word, e.g., Lucy is an angel. The denotations already stated for woman do not fit the ones we can attribute to the notion of angels (this is why linguists in general treat metaphors as semantic violations). But from all the connotations of woman only a few are mapped onto angel, which in turn has equally numerous connotations of its own. We reckon that woman's selected connotative features such as gentle, compassionate, sensitive, are mapped onto a group of some connotative features of angel, such as generous, incapable of evil, suffering, and so on. The use of a metaphorical expression triggers an automatic, arbitrary, and totally new selection of underlying connotative meanings, which remain implicit in what we may call the underlying structure of denotative meanings, until they are mapped to the surface by a metaphor. Needless to say, when we utter Lucy is an angel we are by no means saying that she is not a human being, or that she is a religious entity, or 'non- specified' in terms of sex and age; what we are in fact expressing is a kind of 'non-neutral' definition of Lucy. This metaphor is, in fact, part of everyday language (a dead metaphor); it functions as an 'economical' device, one through which we can mean a great deal of information by using only one word. The indeterminancy of the semantic features the metaphor conflates (Lucy is a very good, generous, compassionate, and suffering woman, incapable of any evil act) can be viewed as a sort of implicit contract of meanings between the speaker and his/her interlocutor(s). The specification of such features is always limited; the metaphorical expression could be telling us more, or perhaps less, about Lucy than a 'literal' one. This issue will be dealt with in the next chapter. The amount of information to be included in a metaphorical expression can only be solved by the speakers of the language according to the conceptual world they share and the concrete situation they are in. Furthermore, in many cases the hearer has to decode from a complex of clues that which corresponds to a specific connotation selected by the speaker according to what he/she intends to express through a metaphor. When someone chooses the word angel instead of saint, he/she has searched for the most suitable word, in a particular situation, occasion, and time, and has undertaken this complex task automatically, almost as if he/she were using this word in its "neutral" meaning. As Widdowson (1984) puts it, "the effect of metaphor depends on avoiding the resolution of ambiguity: the user keeps two meanings in his mind at the same time" (p. 15). We can argue that an expression such as Angel is an available container of three levels of meaning that a speaker can make use of; according to Harman (1968: 66-7) these levels are: thoughts (denotation/ connotation), communication of thoughts, and speech acts. We consider speech acts as constituents of the second level since they depend on a speaker's particular choice or intention, and the third level corresponds to the context of culture and situation, in Malinowsky's terms (in Ogden and Richrads 1923). Suppose speaker A and speaker B and Lucy are all people living in the United States in 1993 and that they are acquaintances. Speaker A has a low opinion of Lucy and he says "Lucy is an angel". The actual meaning of Angel must be decoded along the following clues: Lucy is an angel 1st level (content) 2nd level (communication) 3rd level (context) denotation plain: reassuring cultural: past connotation: emotional remembering contemporary metaphorical informing Christian hyperbolic Eastern critical situational: family relationship ironical friendship acquaintance Obviously, the picture here proposed can be much further extended, including, at the first level, all the types of connotative meaning; at the second level, the diversity of speech acts that can be performed; at third level, nationality, social class, age, etc. At this point, explicit metaphor comes into view as not being at all a peripheral phenomenon in language, but instead a very extended one in terms of use within the linguistic universe. The issue of conceptual (that is, implicit, not linguistic) metaphorical meaning in everyday language will be analysed in the next chapter.

CHAPTER TWO THE COGNITIVE APPROACH TO METAPHOR

1. Introduction
The birth of cognitive semantics can be traced back to the leading notions of the prototypical conception of categorial structures initially established by Eleanor Rosch (1973a, 1973b, 1977). The development of this discipline is exemplified in the studies conducted by scholars such as Fillmore (1977a, 1977b), Lakoff (1982a, 1982b, Lakoff and Johnson 1980) and Talmy (1983, 1985), among other researchers who have been working in this domain of studies since the past decade. Cognitive semantics, as a theoretical paradigm, claims that lexical concepts must be studied against the background of the human cognitive capacities at large. In other words, it holds that if language is one of the fundamental cognitive tools of man, it should not be studied autonomously, as if it contained a semantic structure that is independent of the broader cognitive organization of the human mind (which is the basic structuralist tenet). By contrast, cognitive semantics holds that there is no specifically linguistic-semantic organization of knowledge, separate from conceptual memory. Consequently, lexical semantic research should be conducted in close collaboration with other sciences that study the human mind and its working principles in order to find out how man comprehends, stores and retains information, and expresses human experience, be this specific to the individual or to his culture. This implies, for example, that attention should be paid to cultural differences in the metaphorical patterning of experience, as do a number of authors, in an effort to individualize semantic universals operating as general strategies for coping with part of human experience. The theory of Conceptual Metaphor, as a cognitive approach, is basically concerned with understanding. According to Lakoff and Johnson (1980), the objectivist myth (traditional scientific views, as seen above) cannot cope with human understanding in the long run; in other words, it has given up the possibility of knowing the internal nature of human beings and, consequently, is unable to deal with issues such as the following: the human conceptual system and the nature of human rationality; human language and communication the human sciences, especially psychology, anthropology, sociology, and linguistics; moral and aesthetic values; scientific understanding, via the human conceptual system; any way in which the foundations of mathematics have a basis in human understanding. (p.222) The traditional scientific view emphasizes the fact that there are real things, existing independently of us, which constrain both how we interact with them and how we comprehend them. It focuses on truth and factual knowledge due to the importance they have for our successful functioning in our physical and cultural environments. It is well known that the eighteenth-century scientific world conception is nothing more than an extension of common sense: reliance on the senses and empirical proof through technological advances, which are entailed by the conception of man as a conqueror, which in its turn comes from the conception of man as separate from his environment. Lakoff and Johnson propose a different myth: Experientialism (1980: 117). To understand their proposal, it is necessary to examine their Theory of Truth: We think and act according to what we assume to be true. As we have seen, "absolute truth", in the objectivist sense, cannot be achieved. This claim is based on the principle that the acquisition and use of truth depends on our understanding of the world we live in. Human understanding can be characterized in terms of categories emerging directly from our experiences as human beings. This categorization of the world is defined as follows: ... a natural way of identifying a "kind" of object or experience by highlighting certain properties, downplaying others, and hiding still others. (p. 163) This is the origin of categories such as OBJECT, SUBSTANCE, orientational categories (IN-OUT, UP-DOWN, etc.) and many others according to which we define objects and situations. The properties highlighted, downplayed or hidden in the process of categorization are to be found within natural dimensions which make up gestalts in terms of which objects and situations are categorized. These natural dimensions range from perceptual and functional to purposive and causative ones. Early approaches to these notions were proposed by Lennenberg (1967) and Lorenz (1973) when trying to give an account of the natural and bodily dependence of human behaviour and understanding. Categories are built according to a sequence that goes from CONCRETE to ABSTRACT (NON-CONCRETE), CLOSE to APART, PHYSICAL to NON-PHYSICAL, DEFINED to NON-DEFINED, etc. In other words, we primarily

15 comprehend and know the world through this process, and thus we play "tricks" in conceptualizing whenever a matter of knowledge is abstract or undefined; we take another concept or object to concretize, come close, or define the former. Lakoff and Johnson examine the basic concept of Causation, taking into account the building-block theory, the Piagetian theory of manipulation, and the theory of prototypes. The concept of causation is based on the prototype of DIRECT MANIPULATION, which develops since we are children. The prototypical core of a concept is not "primitive", i.e., it is not an unanalizable semantic schema, but rather a group of elements perceived as a unity prior to its components, namely, a gestalt which consists of properties that naturally occur together in our daily experience, when we perform direct manipulations (1980: 122). A good example of the way we categorize is that shown by a statement like I've invited a sexy blonde to our party (p. 163). In this description, attention is focused on only a few dimensions and properties of the person being referred to, due to the fact that the purposes for which the expression is required have determined this focus of attention; had these purposes been different, the properties highlighted would certainly have been others (for instance, the colour of her eyes). Properties are not inherent to objects or situations but are rather the product of human interaction with the world around, and it is this interactional nature of properties which constitutes the basis for our notion of what is true and what is not: something will be true for us if it "makes sense only relative to human functioning" (p. 164). Thus, a true statement will involve the choice of categories of description, which in turn involves both our perceptions and purposes in a given situation; besides, it will leave out what has been downplayed by the categories used. That is why statements like I've invited a sexy blonde to our party and, let us say, I've invited a Marxist to our party can both be true about the same person referred to. All this accounts pretty well for statements easily correlated with our daily experience, like I live in Chile, but what about statements which do not so clearly fit our knowledge of the world, for instance, the fog is in front of the mountain? The answer involves the concept of "projection": when our basic categories do not fit our reality, we project them onto objects and situations, and thus assign orientation to what does not have it inherently (a mountain) or entity structure to what is not clearly delineated as an entity (a mountain, the fog), etc. This is how we manage to understand everything in terms of a number of basic categories of understanding. This concept of projection is essential to see how we can understand some things in terms of others, that is, how we conceptualize metaphorically. In summary, Experientialism offers a perspective from which the objectivist need to understand the external world in order to function succesfully in it and the subjectivist need of internal aspects of understanding, that is, individual meaning, can be satisfied. Experientialism takes the perspective of man as part of his environment, in constant interaction with the physical environment and with other people. We understand experience metaphorically when we use a gestalt from one domain of experience to structure experience in another domain.

2. Early developments of the cognitive approach to metaphor

Gallagher (1978), in the context of formal thought research, emphasizes the importance of the system of correspondences in Piaget's theory: Simple examples of correspondences (or morphisms in mathematics) are the places set at table for each invited guest or a test mark for each student. The relationship formed is called a mapping. In the familiar one-to-one correspondence -that is, isomorphism- each element of the first or original set has one, and only one, corresponding element from the second or image set. (1978: 81) Analogy and metaphor are, therefore, very important devices for structuring knowledge; they are also crucial in scientific reasoning because they provide richness and wider scope to arguments and descriptions, and supply a powerful and creative framework for scientific exploration, one that is "not possible with ordinary discourse or with propositional reasoning" (1978: 87). According to Ortony (1975), Metaphors are necessary as a communicative device because they allow the transfer of coherent chunks of characteristics -perceptual, cognitive, emotional and experiential- from a vehicle which is known to a topic which is less so. In so doing they circumvent the problem of specifying one by one each of the often unnameable and innumerable characteristics; they avoid discretizing the perceived continuity of experience and are thus closer to experience and consequently more vivid and memorable. (p. 53) Cohen (1974) considers a metaphor as a mapping of the elements of one set on those of another. A map is a system, and their elements are in correspondence with the mapped system; this correspondence may take a large number of forms: "a map must be isomorphic with the mapped system with respect to some of its features" (p. 419).

16 Gallagher (1978) concludes that metaphors are much more than the simplistic form A is B, and that they are complex comparisons, involving tension elimination: a shift from central meaning to marginal meaning.

3. The Theory of Conceptual Metaphor

Although proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) -respectively, a well known linguist (who has contributed to cognitive semantics since its earlier developments), and a philosopher of science- the theory of Conceptual Metaphor can be traced to Michael Reddy's (1979) paper "The Conduit Metaphor", where he analyses the way everyday English person conceptualizes the concept of communication: his contention is that we do not literally "get thoughts across" when we talk; rather, this suggests that communication transfers thought processes somehow bodily. Actually, no one receives anyone else's thoughts directly in their minds when they are using language. A speaker's feelings can be perceived directly only by him/ her; they do not really "come through to us" when he/she talks. Nor can anyone literally "give you an idea" -since these are inherently internal processes. (p. 286) ...[some examples] seem to involve the figurative assertion that language transfers human thoughts and feelings. ...if language transfers thoughts to others, then the logical container, or conveyer, for this thought is words, or word-groupings like phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and so on. (p. 287) The logic... we are considering... called the conduit metaphor... would now lead us to the bizarre assertion that words have "insides" and "outsides." After all, if thoughts can be inserted, there must be a space "inside" wherein the meaning can reside. ..."content" is a term used almost synonymously with "ideas" and "meaning". ...recollection is quite meaning-full (sic). ...Numerous expressions make it clear that English does view words as containing or failing to contain thoughts... (p. 288) ...of the entire metalingual apparatus of the English language, at least seventy percent is directly, visibly, and graphically based on the conduit metaphor. (p. 298) Reddy uses this theory and a considerable amount of data to demonstrate that everyday language is largely metaphorical; that the locus of metaphor is thought, not language; that metaphor is a major and indispensable part of our ordinary, conventional way of conceptualizing the world; and that our everyday behaviour reflects our metaphorical understanding of experience. In Lakoff's words, Reddy "gave us a tiny glimpse of an enormous system of conceptual metaphor. Since its appearance, an entire branch of linguistics and cognitive science has developed to study systems of metaphorical thought that we use to reason, that we base our actions on, and that underlie a great deal of the structure of language" (Lakoff 1992: 4). The theory of conceptual metaphor used as theoretical framework for this study is the one proposed by Lakoff and Johnson in Metaphors We Live By (1980). In essence, this theory holds that our conceptual system, and therefore our language, is largely metaphorical in nature. A large section of their book is devoted to demonstrate what it means for a concept to be metaphorical and the pervasiness this phenomenon has in language as a whole. The most important claim we have made so far is that metaphor is not just a matter of language, that is, of mere words. We shall argue that, on the contrary, human thought processes are largely metaphorical. This is what we mean when we say that the human conceptual system is metaphorically structured and defined. Metaphors as linguistic expressions are possible precisely because there are metaphors in a person's conceptual system. Therefore, whenever... we speak of metaphors... it should be understood that metaphor means metaphorical concept. (1980: 6) A Conceptual Metaphor (CM) is a mental phenomenon, the inner, unconscious, cognitive conceptualization of a domain of experience: entities in the world, actions, states, people, living beings, etc., perceived in terms of another domain of experience of an entirely different type. This conceptualization, applied to almost every domain, takes the form of an identification of the type X is Y, similar to the conventional metaphor in poetry, but it has no direct expression in the language; it is realized through instantiations, utterances which are often taken to be nonmetaphorical, since they do not take the X is Y form, but are produced by concepts which are metaphorically built. The concepts and thoughts -our conceptual system- according to which we function in our lives (of which we are, needless to say, unaware of), must be viewed in their relation to our actions and attitudes, as reflected in our daily activities. We have found... that metaphor is pervasive in everyday life, not just in language but in thought and action. Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature. ... Our conceptual system thus plays a central role in defining our everyday realities. If we are right in suggesting that our conceptual system is largely metaphorical, then the way we think, what we experience, and what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor. (p. 3) This unified way of conceptualizing a domain of experience metaphorically is realized in many linguistic expressions. For example, the way we conceptualize an argument is almost completely structured by the CM ARGUMENT IS WAR;

17 in other words, our experiences of arguments depend basically (and perhaps exclusively) on the CM just mentioned. Briefly, this means that the way in which we conceive an act of war is partially used to understand (and therefore to act towards) arguments; we think of and experience arguments as if they were, in most aspects, armed conflicts. Language is a reflection of how our minds work in understanding things, and therefore it is not surprising that the evidence validating this proposal consists of hundreds of linguistic expressions which demonstrate the way we conceptualize metaphorically pieces of language that we try to understand or assume to be literal (or, in ontological terms, true), though no speaker of English may say that an argument is a war is a common saying, because this CM is not actually part of the language. There is plenty of examples of colloquial, everyday linguistic expressions, used commonly throughout the world, which show a systematic way of talking about an argument as if it were a war situation: Your claims are indefensible. He attacked every weak point in my argument. His criticisms were right on target. I demolished his argument. I've never won an argument with him. You disagree? Okay, shoot! If you use that strategy, he'll wipe you out. He shot down all of my arguments. (1980: 4) The authors describe the metaphorical process as a mapping (in the mathematical sense) from a source domain (in this case, war) to a target domain (in this case, argument). This mapping is tightly structured, that is, there is a systematical ontological correspondence between the entities in the domain of argument (the participants, their claims, their ways of discussing) and the domain of war (the parties, their weapons, their strategies). The generalizations governing... metaphorical expressions are not in language, but in thought: they are general mappings across conceptual domains. ...the locus of metaphor is not in language at all, but in the way we conceptualize one mental domain in terms of another. The general theory of metaphor is given by characterizing such cross-domain mappings. And in the process, everyday abstract concepts like time, states, change, causation, and purpose also turn to be metaphorical. ...metaphor (that is, cross-domain mapping) is absolutely central to ordinary natural language semantics, and... the study of literary metaphor is an extension of the study of everyday metaphor... characterized by a huge system of thousands of cross-domains mappings. (Lakoff 1992: 2) Lakoff and Johnson adopted a mnemonic strategy for naming these mappings, e.g., TARGET-DOMAIN IS SOURCE DOMAIN. In this case, the name of the mapping is ARGUMENT IS WAR. When we speak of the ARGUMENT IS WAR metaphor, we are using a mnemonics for the set of ontological correspondences that characterize a mapping as THE ARGUMENT-IS-WAR mapping. TARGET-DOMAIN SOURCE-DOMAIN IS ARGUMENT WAR Two aspects must be borne in mind concerning metaphorical conceptualizations: they are partial and they are systematic. We have said that metaphorical concepts are characterized by the structuring of one concept in terms of another. This does not mean that we conceive of the elements involved in a metaphorical relation as being the same, but rather as being characterized by the same categories. What is essential is that only some of the aspects structuring a concept are used to structure another. In the CM TIME IS MONEY, only the aspects of the concept of MONEY which define it as a unit of measure and as a quantifiable limited resource are taken into account (that is, highlighted); its other characteristics, such as "used to buy things", are hidden from the focus of our attention. Thus, metaphorical conceptual structuring is necessarily partial. Metaphorical concepts are systematic: they conform a coherent system of metaphorical expressions, not random or isolated cases. We can perceive a certain pattern in our way of talking about arguments, time, and many other subject-matters; that is, we refer to them in some ways and not in others. The interesting fact is that in the metaphorical relation we can always distinguish between an element belonging to a well-defined domain of our experience which is used to refer to another concept from a less clearly defined conceptual domain. For instance, in the CM TIME IS MONEY, the vocabulary taken from the conceptualizations we have of money reveals that it is not clear to us the type of "thing" time is, and that in order to think and talk about it, we need to borrow the concepts and the corresponding vocabulary from another "thing", in this case, money. This process does not occur in isolated or random instances, but rather in systematic and coherent fashions of discourse. So far we have been looking at CMs of a single kind, namely, Structural Metaphors. There are at least two other types of metaphorical conceptualizations, the ones called Orientational and Ontological Metaphors. The Orientational Metaphor implies the global organization of a conceptual system. Its name derives from the fact that most of them are related to concepts defining spatial categories, such as HAPPY IS UP or MORE IS UP. Ontological

18 Metaphors are those whose bases are found in our experience with physical objects (especially our own bodies) and with objects and substances existing in our environments. Thus, in these cases, we will find projections of entity structure to things and events, or the categorization of non-substance elements as being substances. In effect, Lakoff and Johnson state that events and actions are conceptualized as objects, activities as substances, and states as containers. The most obvious case of Ontological Metaphor is that known as Personification, in which the object defined is specified as if it were a human entity. By viewing objects and experiences as human beings, we can give the former the numerous characteristics attached to the latter. The function or purpose we aim at when we use a concept is the relevant issue at this point: by using such a conceptual and linguistic device we can express a greater deal of information about the topic or about our inner experiences in relation to it. The CM INFLATION IS AN ENEMY, for instance, allows us to say we must attack inflation, we are defending ourselves from inflation, as if inflation were a human enemy involved in a war situation, such as a battle. We must distinguish this case of Personification from those of Metonymy (Met) or reference of one concept to another related to it, as when we say, for example, Mrs. Grundy frowns on blue jeans, in which blue jeans stands for people wearing blue jeans. We must, anyway, recognize that, the same as metaphors, metonymies are used to have a better understanding of objects and experiences that lack a clearly delimited or easily understandable conceptualization. Metonymies are also partially structured and present systematicities in their functioning as linguistic expressions, and they are very active in the cultural sense. The Conceptual Metaphor approach also attempts to examine the nature of "folk theories" (Lakoff and Johnson 1981), models of some aspects of reality that are most often taken as constituting "common sense". Folk theories, according to these authors, involve conceptual metaphors from which a chain of deduction emerges, e.g., from the CM SEXUALITY IS A PHYSICAL FORCE, a speaker may assume, as these authors put it, that physical appearance is a physical force> a woman is responsible for her physical appearance...sexual emotions are part of human nature...sexual emotions are a response to being acted upon by a sexual force> a person who uses a force is responsible for the effect of that force> a woman with a sexy appearance is responsible for arousing a man's sexual emotions...sexual emotion naturally results in sexual actions> sexual action against someone's will is unacceptable> to act morally, we must avoid sexual action> avoiding sexual action requires inhibiting sexual emotions> to act morally, one must inhibit sexual emotions...sexual emotions are part of human nature> to inhibit sexual emotions is to be less than human> a woman with a sexy appearance makes a man who is acting morally less than human> to be less than human is to be injured (1981: 13-16) (we have inserted the symbol > to indicate the logical chain) These deductions are not explicit. Speakers do not follow a conscious chain of deduction since deductions have a logic and a structure that remains unconscious behind the reality the speaker takes for granted. According to Lakoff and Johnson, folk theories and CMs are easy to understand "because they are deeply engrained in [American] culture...they are largely held by people" (p. 17). They state that if metaphors and folk theories are readily available to us for use in understanding, they are "ours" in some sense, like the one in the example above, and that no theory of communication or understanding can pretend to be adequate if it does not account for the crucial role that CMs have on folk theories.

4. Later Developments
The theory of conceptual metaphor has given origin to a number of studies. A few of them are very briefly accounted for in what follows. Kronfeld (1980-1981) focuses his discussion about metaphor on its very nature: are metaphors semantically special phenomena? Is their meaning different from literal meaning? As she explains, most approaches agree in that the meaning of a metaphor is not a function of the meaning of its constituents, but instead it is a "new" and completely different meaning; in order to discover this new meaning we need a "construal" from the hearer/reader, i.e., a mechanism of some nature to actively construct (produce) and deconstruct (understand) the meaning of a metaphor. Kronfeld distinguishes two opposite approaches in relation to the idea of a construal. The non-constructivist group claims that meaning is only literal meaning and that metaphors have no meaning at all or are reducible to literal paraphrases, rejecting the existence of construals. The constructivist approach postulates the existence of a construal mechanism for understanding metaphors, but it extends this mechanism to both figurative and literal language. Among supporters of the last view we have several post-structuralist critics, such as Derrida, De Man, and "experientialist" semanticists like Lakoff and Johnson, for whom the puzzle of metaphor exists but it is not exclusive of metaphor. Carbonell (1982) attempts to augment the power of a semantic knowledge base used for language analysis by means of metaphorical mappings. His central concern is the creation of a process model to encompass metaphor comprehension.

19 Understanding the metaphors used in language often proves to be a crucial process in establishing complete and accurate interpretations of linguistic utterances. (p. 416) Carbonell states that, although there is a set of general (conceptual) metaphors in English, the majority of them are instantiated versions of a few general metaphors, which he calls "common" metaphors, as opposed to those which are "creative". According to this idea, the problem of understanding a large class of metaphors may be reduced from a reconstruction to a recognition task. The identification of an instance of one of the general metaphorical mappings is a much more tractable process than reconstructing the conceptual framework from the bottom up each time a new metaphor instance is encountered. Each of the general metaphors contains not only mappings of the form "X is used to mean Y in context Z," but inference rules to enrich the understanding process by taking advantage of the reasons why the writer [or speaker] may have chosen the particular metaphor (rather than a different metaphor or a literal rendition). (p. 416) Carbonell's most important contribution is the Implicit-Intention Component: what the speaker is contending when he/ she chooses to use a metaphorical expression instead of a literal one. The hypothesis holds that this component is the information about what the metaphor conveys that is absent from a literal expression of the same concept; in other words, there is much more information and expression intended in a CM than in a literal expression (p. 417). The issue of determining the Implicit-Intention Component is what Gibbs (1992), in his own terms, tries to arrive at through a series of experiments concerning the semantic content and the presence of conceptual metaphors in idioms. He postulates that idioms have complex figurative interpretations that are not arbitrarily determined but are motivated by independently existing CMs that provide the basis for a great part of everyday thought and, therefore, language; idioms cannot be simply defined, as do dictionaries, as equivalent in meaning to simple literal phrases. ...literal paraphrases of these idioms [blow your stack, flip your lid, hit the ceiling] such as "to get very angry" do not convey the same inferences about the causes, intentionality, and manner in which someone experiences and expresses his or her anger. ...[literal paraphrases] are not by themselves motivated by single conceptual metaphors and therefore do not possess the kind of complex interpretations as do idiomatic phrases. (p. 485-486) Gibbs' inquiries show that idiom use and comprehension vary depending on how discourse encodes information. This process is partially motivated by entailments of CMs. This also holds for Carbonell's instantiations of a CM, even though he only analyses them in single sentences. Both positions can be bridged at this point. So far we have tried to give a brief account of a theory of crucial importance to current research in semantics, therefore requiring much more attention in our country than the one it has received up to the present.

CHAPTER THREE THE STUDY

1. Introduction
Strictly speaking, a Conceptual Metaphor is a cognitive phenomenon and, as such, it is not made explicit in everyday language under the form "X stands for Y". Consequently, its realization is achieved through an unconscious process of instantiation, i.e., the projection of the Conceptual Metaphor onto linguistic expressions belonging to specific conceptual fields to refer to other unrelated conceptual domains. Lakoff and Johnson (1980, 1981, Lakoff 1992), together with Reddy (1979), Kronfeld (1980-81), Carbonell (1982), and Gibbs (1992), stress the fact that metaphors cover the entire conceptual world we live in and provide extensive inventories of instantiations of the most common conceptual metaphors in English. These examples, however copious, do not demonstrate the actual pervasiness and frequency of occurrence of CMs in ordinary language, a phenomenon which can only be perceived in a speaker's discourse not biased by any previous knowledge of the theory under analysis. This is primarily what we attempt to achieve inductively in this study, namely, to demonstrate the actual relevance of CMs in the structuring of a speaker's discourse focused on a given topic. We take into account discursive concepts such as Halliday's theme,"...the set of options by means of which a speaker or writer is enabled to create texts to use language in a way that is relevant to the context" (1970: 160), information unit, which "represents the speaker's organization of the discourse into message units" (1967: 8), and Chomsky's focus, which "determines the relation of the utterance to... other sentences in the discourse" (1971: 205). However, we do refer to formal or intonational components of discourse, but only to the deep semantic aspects of conveyed messages through clauses in a discourse, since, as Lakoff points out, "The semantic content of the focus is an assertion of coreferentiality. ...the lexical-semantic content of the surface structure constituent bearing main stress has nothing whatever to do with the semantic content of the focus" (1971: 261). We consider discourse as the largest unit of language, semantically structured by a general topic and constituted by more specific pieces of discourse, which are structured by more specific topics. From this point of view, the cohesion of discourse lies in the experiential conceptualization that allows the users of a language to communicate; in other words, basic physical experience and conceptual metaphors. Our second goal is to verify whether this cognitive organizing phenomenon is comparable in the case of native speakers of English and Spanish. To that extent, we carried out a fairly in-depth analysis of the way they metaphorically conceptualize their feelings and emotions as concerns LOVE and DEATH, and their reasonings in the case of POLITICS and ECONOMICS.

2. Method
SUBJECTS: Sixteen subjects provided the data for the analysis of oral discourse. For the topic of LOVE, we interviewed 8 subjects distributed into two groups of 4 native speakers of American English and 4 native speakers of Chilean Spanish. Their ages ranged from 20 to 26. Within each language group, two members were men and two women. They were all middle-class university students or people who have had university studies. Having only educated young people as subjects allowed us to establish a standard of the way in which a homogeneous group of persons conceptualizes the same notion. For the topic of DEATH, 4 young American English speakers were interviewed; for Spanish, we interviewed 4 subjects, their ages ranging from 45 to 55, with a comparable cultural background to the one specified above. The lack of homogeneity in the two groups in this case is due mainly to the fact that it is fairly difficult to find adult English speakers who have not lived in our country for a long period and, consequently, are not culturally biased by our environment. An old age group was considered particularly important here because an old person is more likely to have a richer elaboration on a concept such as DEATH than younger generations, for obvious reasons. DESIGN AND MATERIALS: In order to carry out an in-depth analysis, we will concentrate on only 4 areas of human understanding in this study, two of them deeply rooted in culture (LOVE and DEATH) and the other two (ECONOMICS and POLITICS) of a technical and scientific nature. The areas selected for the study of CMs were researched both in oral and written discursive units in the two languages. In the first case, the corpus analysed was

21 gathered through interviews held with native speakers of American English and of Chilean Spanish. In the second case, the data were collected through a sampling of selected texts from the political and the economy sections of newspapers in both languages. The interviews comprised a set of ten items in the case of LOVE and of nine in the case of DEATH, some of them direct questions and others, suggestions of topics to talk about, each related to subject matters that fall within the culturally determined domains inquired into. Written texts were used to analyse some of the CMs that provide underlying structure to the technical-scientific areas. We analysed 4 written texts, one for each topic and language. These materials provided sufficient data for researching the underlying metaphors that structure the conceptualization of the domains selected. At the same time, they provided a comprehensive view of the intentional and situational meanings that the CMs map onto the literal metaphors present in these texts as units of discourse. CRITERIA OF ANALYSIS: To analyse the data we applied the metaphorical interpretation process proposed by Carbonell (1982), primarily intended as a metaphor understanding mechanism in computational analysis. To describe his method Carbonell uses technical language that belongs, in many cases, to this field of research. As students of linguistics, we have introduced some modifications in the original analysis so as to make it more concordant with a study of human understanding of the domains already stated. As to the linguistic unit adopted, instead of focusing on single utterances as Carbonell does, we have chosen discourse for our analysis, so as to examine utterances in their relations to one another. Carbonell's general process for applying metaphor-mapping knowledge is the following: LITERALNESS TEST: Attempt to analyze the input utterance in a literal, conventional fashion. If this fails, and the failure is caused by a semantic case-constraint violation, go to the next step. (p. 418) First, all the utterances of a text in which non-literal language is used have to be isolated. By non-literal we mean any utterance in which a case of semantic violation is detected. More specifically, we will treat as semantic violation any utterance in which we detect a conflict between the semantic features of, at least, two constituents of the utterance under analysis. This implies to have every item analysed in terms of the relation of their semantic cases and types of predicates (actions, states and processes). For this purpose, we use case model theory, as originally proposed by Fillmore (1968), which distinguishes six propositional cases: Agent, Instrumental, Dative, Factitive, Locative, and Objective. Four of these cases were sufficient for our analysis: Agent Dative Locative Objective Objective includes here the cases of Instrumental and Factitive, since the current analysis deals only with the three main semantic features attached to cases: Concreteness Animateness Humanity For the Objective and Locative cases, only the feature of Concreteness is required. For Agent and Dative, a distinction must be made between predicates which can be attached to any animate being and those which can only be assigned to human animate beings, thus requiring cases which fulfill the feature of Humanity (e.g., to read, to feel, to love, to think). To illustrate this, let us take the sentence the prices jumped. According to the predicate involved, its corresponding case should be an Agent. But the entity involved cannot satisfy the needed requirements of Concreteness and of Animateness; this is therefore an example of Concreteness and Animateness in Agent. In examining further analyses of case theory (Cook 1979), we have found that new cases proposed to specify semantic relations can be analysed in terms of their literalness; therefore, they can also be subject to this test. Only the most general cases may avoid this semantic 'trap'. Accordingly, we propose a set of three cases of Semantic Conflict [SC]: Reference Conflict (RC): To account for a lack of physical action/state reference, i.e., what is described is not actually (in physical terms) referred to. Semantic Feature Conflict (SFC): To deal with the already mentioned relation of cases to actions/states. It is crucial to emphasize that SFC always involves RC, but not vice versa. Prices cannot possibly jump: they are neither Animate nor Concrete entities. But in the Spanish sentence me tir a la piscina, there is no semantic violation; what is involved here is only a Reference Conflict, since no actual physical action is referred to. Identification Conflict (IC): To refer to any instance of explicit metaphor (e.g., my life is rubbish), intended as a literal expression or as the speaker's "creative" expression. 2. RECOGNITION NETWORK: 1.

22 A recognition network contains the information necessary to decide whether or not a linguistic utterance is an instantiation of the general [conceptual] metaphor... (p. 416) According to Carbonell, there appears to be a small number of CMs and metonymies (Mets), in the order of 50, that pervade commonly spoken English. Many of these have been identified and exemplified by Lakoff and Johnson (1980, 1981), Lakoff (1992), as well as by Carbonell himself. We will use these CMs/ Mets for the recognition of metaphorical instantiations. BASIC MAPPING: (It) establishes those features of the literal input that are directly mapped onto a different meaning by the metaphor. (Carbonell 1982: 417) Once the CM underlying the instantiation(s) is identified, the next step is to provide a rule by means of which the apparent semantic conflict case is solved through a metaphorical process that involves the reinterpretation of the semantic feature which causes the conflict, matching the components of the CM (X and Y) with the pertinent roles of the analysed utterance. This reinterpretation process will be graphically displayed in the form of re-read rules of the type [A][B], which must be interpreted as meaning "re-read A as B", A being the source domain and B being the target domain. 4. TRANSFER MAPPING: (It) is a filter that determines which additional parts of the literal input may be mapped onto the conceptual representation, and establishes exactly the transformation that this additional information must undergo. (p. 417) This step involves the same metaphorical reinterpretation process as in 3, but in this case it includes all the additional semantic features and variables which enrich and specify the overall metaphorical meaning. This information will also be displayed in the form of re-read rules. 5. 3.

IMPLICIT-INTENTION COMPONENT: The Implicit-Intention Component encodes the reasons why [a] metaphor is typically chosen by a writer or speaker... (p. 417) Carbonell states that a writer chooses a metaphor as a function of the ideas he or she wants to convey to the reader; the understander ought to know why the particular metaphor was chosen and what the metaphor conveys that is absent from a literal expression of the same concept. In this final step, one is able to account for the speaker's choice of a metaphorical expression instead of a literal one, taking into account for this purpose the emotional, cultural, and social variables that might play a role in this choice. - A brief exercise applying this method to the text that follows may prove to be useful at this point so as to show how this process works before applying it to our data. The text selected, entitled "C.D.'s and Bank Funds Fall", appeared in "The New York Times", January 30, 1991. 1. LITERALNESS TEST: Selected utterances presenting semantic conflict:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. C.D.'s and banks funds fall. Yields on bank certificates of deposit and money market accounts fell in the week ended yesterday... bankers were still being influenced by the slowing economy... the decline in rates has been slower... average discount rates were up for the second week... the rate on the three-month bill jumped eight basis points... the rising rates... the downturn in the economy... [downturn] cause [x]... the Federal Reserve to ease [x] Federal reserve ease short-term interest rates further... yields continued to fall faster... Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, which cut [x]... [Banco] cut its money market account... three-month C.D.'s fell 14 basis points... certificates fell 15 basis points... Some big drops in yields the yield fell 21 basis points... each fell 18 basis points... the average yield for a money market account at saving institutions was off 3 basis points... three-month certificates declined 7 basis points... six-month certificates were down 6 points ... Yields at 20 large banks outside the New York area were down an average of 4 basis points... [Yields were] down 9 basis points...

23 Can these entities carry out these actions? Can yields, accounts, rates, certificates, etc. fall, decline, rise, jump, be down, and so on? Here we find predicates (actions, states and processes) related to arguments (cases) integrated in single utterances. The conflict lies in that a semantic feature of one or two of the cases is not the one which is required by the predicate to which this case is related. - Types of Semantic Conflict: Concreteness in roles: All the instantiations (with the exception of 3,6,10,13) fall into this category. The analysis shows that each of the predicates involved (fall, decline, be up, rise, turn down, be severe, drop, be off, be down) requires a Concrete entity as the respective role of the action to which it is necessarily related. It can be observed that none of the entities analysed (CD's, funds, yields, rates, economy, account, certificates, basis points) fulfills the requirement of Concreteness. Animateness in roles: In 3,6,10,13 the predicates influence, jump, ease, cut require Animate entities as their arguments. The ones examined here do not fulfill the requirement of Concreteness prior to Animateness. 2. RECOGNITION NETWORK: According to Lakoff and Johnson, all cases (with the exception of 3,6,10,12) are typical instantiations of the MORE IS UP/LESS IS DOWN metaphors (1980: 15); case (3) is an instantiation of the CM ECONOMY IS A PERSON, a type of Personification (p. 33); cases 10 and 13 are instantiations of INSTITUTION FOR PERSON RESPONSIBLE, a type of metonymy (p. 38). The focus of our analysis will be the CMs MORE IS UP/LESS IS DOWN. 3. BASIC MAPPING: Once the CM underlying the instantiation is identified, the next step is to provide a rule by means of which the semantic features of the predicates instantiated, indicating the basic specification Upward/Downward Movement, can be re-read as Increase/Decrease. Thus, we shall be able to understand that yields that fall are yields that are subject to a decrease in price. The rules accounting for this may be represented graphically as follows: [+ upward movement] [+ increase] and [+ downward movement] [+ decrease]. 4. TRANSFER MAPPING: Having established the distinction between Upward and Downward Movement, the predicates included can also be organized in terms of height and speed. A line is drawn to indicate a Rate Descriptor and an Altitude Descriptor, as shown in the diagram below: RATE SPEED MORE IS UP + _ TOP BOTTOM jump rise decline fall drop DIRECTION PREDICATES

+ LESS IS DOWN

In categorizing the phenomena a speaker perceives -in this case the physical world (objects going up or down)different predicates of movement account for differences in height and speed rates. This diagram only includes the predicates which appear in the text just dealt with. It can certainly be completed with the range of predicates expressing up/down movement available in the lexicon. What is of central importance here is to realise how we use the same concepts employed to describe physical movements to talk about economic issues. A stative position on a certain point in the scale is expressed by the verbs TO BE UP/DOWN. All these distinctions are conveyed by the speaker's perception of phenomena: he/she chooses to focus either on the state of being down or on the action of falling. Two rules may account for this explanation: if the expression in terms of UP/DOWN refers to the speed of the upward/downward movement, it must be understood as a reference to the speed at which the increase/decrease has been detected: TM1: [ fast] [ fast]; if the expression refers to the height of the upward/downward movement, it must be re-read as the rate of the increase/decrease:

24 TM2: [ high] [ large].

5. IMPLICIT-INTENTION COMPONENT: In the case of the MORE IS UP/LESS IS DOWN metaphors applied to discourse dealing with economics, Lakoff and Johnson's theory establishes that these CMs structure this type of discourse on their own: there is no implicit intention, nor a speaker's choice. The only way to talk about economics is through metaphorical conceptualizations. To conclude, we list below the steps adopted in the analysis of our data: 1. Analysis of the corpus -based on Carbonell's methodology- according to Semantic Conflict (SC) and Recognition Network (under the label of CM). 2. Selection of the CMs and/ or Metonymies (Mets) that have higher frequency in terms of instantiations in each language and text. 3. Analysis of each selected CM/ Met in terms of Basic Mapping (BM), Transfer Mapping (TM), and their corresponding re-read rules. 4. Examination of the Implicit Intention Component of the instantiation, where relevant.

3. Results and Discussion

Our selected data correspond to the specific metaphorical instantiations found in 20 discourses. Their presentation and discussion have been organized as follows: 1. The data collected have been divided in sections according to TOPIC (Love, Death, Economics, and Politics) and LANGUAGE (American English and Chilean Spanish). 2. At the beginning of each Section, there is a table where the selected CMs/Mets are displayed and their occurrence in terms of language and sex is indicated. Since differences related to sex were not significant, the only information provided in this respect is that which appears in these tables. 3. For each selected CM/ Met, there is first a brief discussion of its Basic Mapping (BM), Transfer Mapping (TM), and corresponding re-read rules. Then, a brief discussion of the Implicit Intention Component of each instantiation is offered. 4. Tables including the most representative instantiations of the CMs selected, their Semantic Conflict (SC), and BM and TM rules are displayed for each language. 5. A brief discussion of results is offered at the end of each section. 6. A general discussion of results and corresponding observations and conclusions are finally presented. The corpus, consisting of 20 discourses (16 interviews and 4 newspaper articles), is presented separately in Appendix A. The data, consisting of whole set of instantiations analysed in terms of Literalness Test (semantic conflict) and Recognition Network (type of CM/ Met), is presented in Appendix B.

CM LOVE IS A JOURNEY
The CMs related to JOURNEY have been already analysed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and Lakoff(1992). This metaphor has to do with the goal of [LOVE]. ...it must have a beginning, proceed in a linear fashion, and make progress in stages toward that goal. (1980: 89-90) BM: LOVE is intended to mean the sentimental relationship, already established, between the speaker and another person. The speaker sees this relationship as an experience which has a temporal duration; consequently, a starting and an ending point in time. When conceptualizing a relationship, time is the only measure we have. JOURNEY is intended to mean a period of time during which the speaker has gone from one point to another. The units of measure here are both time and place. (We would like to recall that the physical basis stated by Lakoff and Johnson concerning these two concepts is that time in fact uses the vocabulary of place, because the latter is a concrete entity. Therefore, whenever we are talking about time we are talking metaphorically, i.e., using CMs). In this case, the action implicit in JOURNEY lends the relationship a way of referring to the latter in a concrete fashion. The speaker also describes her experience and the situation she is in as if she were travelling. The Basic Mapping between the two concepts consists in matching RELATIONSHIP with TRAVEL, i.e., in talking about a relationship as if it were two persons in a vehicle moving from one place to another during a certain period of time: BM: [+ travel] [+ relation]. TM: A JOURNEY situation defines two participants in a vehicle initiating a travel along a path. It also defines a stretch and an ending point. A LOVE situation defines the establishment of a love relation between two lovers during a certain period of time, after which the relation comes to an end. The correspondences between the two concepts and their reread rules are shown below: JOURNEY initiation participants vehicle, path stretch ending LOVE establishment of relation lovers relation (intermediate) period termination of relation re-read rules [+ initiation] [+ company] [+ vehicle] [+ stretch ] [+ termination] [+ establishment] [+ company] [+ relation] [+ period] [+ ending]

AMERICAN ENGLISH: Further TM rules, applicable only in this case, may be formulated: if the expression in terms of JOURNEY refers to a specific point during the journey, it must be understood as referring to an event/moment of certain relevance for the speaker: TM1: [+ point] [+ event/ moment]; if the expression refers to physical movement, it must be understood as referring to the idea of continuation or development of the relationship as a result of certain actions: TM2: [+ movement] [+ action/ development].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: when I broke up [relation] with him/ when I broke[relation] off/ [I try]to get away from [someone]: The end of the relationship is seen as a physical separation of the partners; consequently, the journey has also ended. we started going out: This is a case of overlapping with the Met THE PART FOR THE WHOLE: the first part of the activity of dating is used to refer to the whole of it, which includes "going to eat somewhere", "take a ride", "go dancing", and a number of other sentimental and/ or sexual activities. [I would be] beginning something serious: Here there is a personification of the relationship; the participants involved are the ones who can be serious about it. you don't have to be with someone/ you can be by yourself/ somebody that I think I can spend the rest of my life with/ [you can stay with a person] for the rest of your life: In these utterances, the CM LOVE IS A JOURNEY is entailed by the major CM, LIFE IS A JOURNEY. The speaker expresses the usual western Christian conception of a relationship as a clear step in a person's life, a relationship which does not end, or ends only when the person's life ends. somebody besides you/ you can stay with a person [for the rest of your life]/ it's a two-way street: : There are many kinds of journeys, in relation to the CM under analysis: e.g., car trip, train ride, sea voyage. Speakers describe the situation as if it were a car trip (Lakoff and Johnson 1980: 44) in which the two passengers, while travelling, are placed one besides the other. The rest of the instantiations are general and can be attached to any kind of travel. More important is the logical entailments these authors specify: A JOURNEY DEFINES A PATH/ THE PATH OF A JOURNEY IS A SURFACE (p. 89-93). In it's a two-way street, JOURNEY is explicitly defined as its SURFACE (a street); the participants would not be in the same vehicle but in two cars, driving in opposite directions. Since the conceptual picture here has changed, it could be argued that this is a radically different CM, LOVE IS A STREET, though Lakoff and Johnson would consider it a case of the "car trip" metaphor, as in "This relationship is a dead-end street"(p. 45). I still haven't met anybody: It is interesting to notice that the events of meeting somebody, getting to know somebody after a while, and, eventually, falling in love with that person, are understood by the sole mention of the event MEETING, which in basic experiential terms only refers to the event of joining somebody at a certain place and moment. something is pulling us apart: The important fact here is that the idea of movement is understood in two ways: one is the movement made by the partners away from each other (expressed by pulling apart); the other is the forward movement both partners are thought to carry on during their journey (entailed in the realization that LOVE IS A JOURNEY structures this segment of the text, with no overt element offered in the instantiation itself). The idea of something pulling people apart is also coherent with the CM LOVE IS A PHYSICAL FORCE. I should go ahead: The establishment and permanence of a love relationship depends on the participant(s) attitude and effort, which can be appreciated in the reference to a forward movement toward a goal. CHILEAN SPANISH:

27 Some differences in the intermediate period have been found: the relationship has ended and the participants have been involved in other relationships, which is to say that the journey has ended (with the possibility of starting over again) and other journeys have been taken by the travellers. If the participants return to their former journey, this is considered to have halted and later reinitiated: TM3: [+ resume] [+ resume]. TABLE 1.2: CM LOVE IS A JOURNEY - CHILEAN SPANISH

IMPLICIT INTENTION: [el amor] es un medio para llegar a ciertas cosas: In this case, the CM LOVE IS A JOURNEY is entailed by the CM A PURPOSEFUL LIFE IS A JOURNEY: a love relation, as an activity, is conceived of as a vehicle for transporting the speaker toward her goal, i.e., toward the fulfillment of her intentions. anduve con otro/ l andaba con otra nia/ yo andaba con otro nio: The love partners are seen within a vehicle (the relation) during the travel (period of time). Different relations are described as different people in the same vehicle. de ah en adelante empezamos una relacin ms abierta: When both love partners re-established their relationship, they were more communicative, permissive, and both let the other person be and do as he and she wanted. People who have these qualities are considered "open". se estaba yendo el tren ya/ encontrar a esa persona que tiene que llegar: During the life journey, an individual is thought to be going on alone within a vehicle if he/she has not established a relationship with someone or if this relationship has ended. Love is considered not only as an important stage in the life journey, but sometimes as the most important stage; the expression irse el tren refers to a failure to reach this stage in one's life. el instinto por llegar a ti/ ir hacia el contacto fsico: Love (relation/ sexual intercourse) is the goal she is trying to attain in her journey, i.e., the purpose the speaker is aiming at by behaving and acting in a certain way.

 hay que remontarse al primer pololeo: This is an special image used to indicate remembering; you must go back to que aguantara [relacin] en el tiempo: The relation is conceptualized as a vehicle which needs fuel to move across
the path defined by the travel. A relation is something that can be finished gradually; feelings change, and so do behaviour and personality. Time "consumes" the events and participants that develop through it. no estoy embarcado en ninguna relacin: This is the only instance of a different kind of vehicle, namely, a ship. la pensara en la perspectiva de largo aliento: Another special image to refer, in this case, to the future: we can only think of the future spatially, as an stretch. The speaker expresses the idea of a "distant" future by referring to physical fatigue. cuando estoy cerca de [comenzar relacin]: In this case a relationship is considered as an object (see EVENTS ARE OBJECTS/ CONTAINERS) at some point during the life travel. The (possibility of) establishment of the relationship is seen as spatial proximity. a point you left behind (in the past, a previous step in you life travel).

28

CM PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES

BM: In this case, there is a presupposed CM, STATES ARE OBJECTS, which gives coherence to the fact that people can contain them. Love, as a state, is an object inside people, who are conceptualized as box-like containers. It is not the body which is a container, but the person in his/her non-physical characteristics (behaviour, personality, feelings, etc.). Whenever a speaker talks about people as containing objects, he/she is referring to the state underwent by him/her. BM: [+ contain] [+ undergo]. TM: Love, being a contained object, is "poured" from one container (person) into another; a container may be full or empty of love, etc. The correlations of the two domains and the re-read rules which result from them can be summarized as follows: if the expression refers to any feature implying the feedback of content between the containers, it must be re-read as implying reciprocity within the relation: TM1: [+ feedback] [+ reciprocity]; if the expression refers to the delivery of the content, it must be re-read as the behaviour and actions of one partner in relation to the other: TM2: [+ delivery] [behaviour]; if the expression implies the direction of the delivery, it must be re-read as referring to the person the intentions of the speaker are directed to: TM3: [+ direction] [+ intentions]; if the expression implies the enclosure or opening of the container, it must be re-read as the establishment or nonestablishment of the relation: TM4: [+ enclosure] [+ establishment of relation]; if the expression refers to any feature implying the filling up or the emptiness of the container, it must be re-read, respectively, as a positive or negative evaluation of the relation from the speaker's point of view: TM5: [ filling] [ positive evaluation].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: [love is] a relationship between two people/ other people's love relationships: The possession of the object (relation) is shared with another person, in contrast to the property of the object feeling, which can be either

29 possessed only by one person or by the couple; in fact, a feeling can be shared by a number of people (e.g., patriotism) or even by the entire humanity (e.g., fear of the unknown, love for children). this love that was in my relationship: In this case, the present CM is realized through a metonymic process: the relationship is seen as a container rather than as the participants (the whole for the part?). I don't have the same urges/ [I should go ahead] with my instincts: People contain feelings and states in general; in this case there is a reference to the quality of erotic feelings of being basic instincts, just as hunger. a feeling you get/ you can receive complete happiness: The important fact here is the emphasis on the conceptualization of LOVE as a transferable, moveable object. The lexical item selected in the second instantiation is not get as in the first one, but receive, a much more explicit term. LOVE is equated then with HAPPINESS, but the attribution of concreteness remains the same, as the unifying concept of the word "complete" expresses.

IMPLICIT INTENTION: [ellos] han tenido su par de quiebres: Again, there is a metonymic concept together with the CM; in this case, the relation lends its metaphorical quality of a concrete unity to the couple. [ el amor] desplazaba tus emociones de un lado hacia otro: In this case, there is overlapping with the CM LOVE IS A PHYSICAL FORCE. cosa [el amor] que tengo integrada: The state referred to is seen as an object people either have or have not, not as a basic component but as an additional one which is "put" into them. The same conception applies to notions, moral beliefs, education, and culture: they must be "inoculated".

 [sali el pololeo] del inters mo [y de otra gente] por tener una relacin de pareja: The relation is viewed as
produced by the speaker's interest; what it is noticeable here is the conception of outward movement implied in the action referred to. yo no tuve peros: Objections are economically reduced to the clause initial word that would make them fully explicit (the conjunction pero in this case, acting as an entity). Thus, they become concrete entities which can be possessed by the speaker. da un poco de verguenza decirlo/ te da miedo todo: Certain states which are commonly thought of as temporal (shame, fear) are, in the speaker's conception, produced as a result of the situations and actions people are involved in. te llenas la cabeza de cuestiones/ no tengo la cabeza ocupada con nadie en particular/ tienes...un rollo con alguien: First, the Met THE WHOLE FOR THE PART underlies the current CM: it is not the person as a whole but his/her mind which is referred to. Second, the Met THE CONTAINER FOR THE CONTENT allows the speaker to talk of the "head" when actually implying the mind, which in its turn is only theoretically defined as a unity. Third, the speaker is actually referring to the activity involved in thinking about something, which can only be measured in terms of time. At this point, there is an overlapping with the CM TIME IS A RESOURCE, in the sense that it can be spent (or even wasted). Furthermore, as the amount of time spent in thinking about an issue increases, there is "little" or "no room" (a very suitable, common, but nevertheless metaphorical expression) for other issues to be thought about, or, in metaphorical terms, "occupy one's head". Finally, the term rollo expresses the idea of a persistent thought, usually a problem or emotional worry. estar bien en el fondo: An orientational metaphor is operating here: OUTSIDE IS UP/ INSIDE IS DOWN, related but not derived from the CM MORE IS UP/ LESS IS DOWN. Lakoff and Johnson (1980: 23) explain it as a problem of coherence through cultures, which allows to assign DOWN a positive connotation. What is inside and hidden is seen as more important. has colocado [esperanzas/ilusiones/porvenir] en manos de otra persona: The speaker refers to the case of a person who depends emotionally on another person to such an extent that he/she no longer has any initiative. This is commonly viewed as physical 'manipulation'. despertar esos instintos bsicos en el hombre: An instance of Animateness. The use of despertar to mean causing or producing a state. uno entrega ms de lo que debe/ para entregarme a l/ esa persona no entrega nada por ti: There is a compulsory interchange in a relation, the crucial moment in which one expresses one's feelings and behaves in a determined way (the giving of an inner "treasure" or possession), showing the other the "value" of the relation, and expects the other's feelings expressed through similar behaviour (the other's possession) in return. tena todo lo que yo buscaba en un gallo: The speaker refers to her partner's personal characteristics and behaviour as corresponding with her conception of an ideal love partner; the speaker also sees social life and meeting people as a search for a possible love partner. primera vez que tenamos esos sentimientos: Love, as a feeling, seems to exist not inherently in both love partners, but to emerge instead from the relation itself (the object contained appears only when there is a contact between them). el erotismo lo tenemos todos adentro: In opposition to the previous case, this metaphor refers to the inherent sexual features (physical appearance, attitude, or any other personal characteristic which can be sexually attractive) which are independent of any relationship. algo bonito entre nosotros/ hay mucho amor entremedio: Both love partners (containers) are together because of their feelings toward each other (as if the object contained by both were a shared organ of some sort). tu mundo se cierra: Apart from the love relation, people have a variable number of other relations (social, personal, etc.) and are willing to meet people in order to establish a love relation (open containers, "in search of"); these other relations can be affected when a love relation is established (the containers are closed; each container is the top of the other). y ya no hay ms mundo: There are no other relations, at least according to the speaker's interest, and this may cause her isolation from friends, family, or even society.

CM EVENTS ARE OBJECTS/CONTAINERS

BM: We may define an event as a set of participants involved in (sometimes predetermined) actions/states/ processes seen as associated to a temporal and situational framework. In this sense, even a simple action, as taking the bus, can be considered an event. The only way to understand these happenings as unities is by conferring objective concreteness to them, in order to specify their influence upon the participants involved or any other phenomenon. The BM rule can be

31 formulated simply as follows: "abstract" relatedness (of people, objects, actions and states) is seen as a concrete unity attributed to objects. BM: [+ relatedness] [+ concreteness]. TM: In general, we refer to events either as a way of structuring our actions in terms of time and place or as a way of evaluating and analysing people's actions (e.g., I felt badly at the meeting but now I'm all right, and My birth/marriage was a horrible occasion, respectively). In the first case, no TM rules can be formulated since if an event occurs, it is directly entified as something that happens with no other transference of meaning involved. In the second case, the evaluation or analysis takes place metaphorically as the examination of an object in terms of the description of a physical entity. Some other concepts related to objects, such as possession, transferability, and so on, will be analysed as they appear in other instances of this same CM. The only TM rules applicable in this case are the following: if the expression in terms of OBJECT refers to a transferable object, it must be understood as referring to a transitive action involving people: TM1: [+ transferability] [+ transitivity]; if the expression implies a physical description of positive/negative connotations, it must be re-read as a person's positive/negative emotion towards a certain event: TM2: [+ physical description] [+ emotional expression]; if the expression refers to the object as "possessed" in some way, it must be understood as an indication of the importance attached to the state by the speaker: TM3: [+ possession] [+ importance].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: [a feeling you get] from doing something: In many cases, there seems to underlie the idea that a state, conceptualized as an object, can be the result of an event; in this case, the event will be conceptualized as an originator object, as a source. Hence the use of from. There is a considerable overlapping with the previous CM, PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES, but the focus here is on the fact that doing is the origin of a feeling. [going to movies] and stuff: This typical young American expression and stuff is highly descriptive of the concrete conceptualization of events. [a fact] which is kind of weird/ [I would] make sure that [something]/ it's a tough question/ make a difference/ make it better for you/ [a fact] hard to understand: Together with physical description, there is a qualitative description attached to events which are not by themselves weird, sure, tough, different, better, hard but are assigned to personify the speaker's feelings and attitudes toward the events referred to. it's a tough question/ a fact hard to understand: The concept seems to be that knowledge is considered as a certain type of substance (or sometimes object) that we have to get into our heads through the obstacle of our skull; the easier it is to understand , the quicker we get things into our minds. Therefore, if a subject is hard, thick, dense, or tough, etc., it is more difficult to understand. TABLE 1.6: CM EVENTS ARE OBJECTS/ CONTAINERS - CHILEAN SPANISH

IMPLICIT INTENTION: cosas que hacan modificar cierta conducta: Events act upon events: the speaker is influenced to behave differently after considering and/ or being affected by certain situations. se establece una relacin amorosa: Here there is a stative view if the relation, contrary to the LOVE IS A JOURNEY conception. [mi primer pololeo] no tiene mucha originalidad/ [el pololeo] de espontneo tiene re poco: As in the American English case, qualitative descriptions, original, espontneo, are attributed to events, after conceptualizing them concretely. las... tallas que te echan: Events such as tallas, as objects, can be "thrown" at people; there is a considerable overlapping of CMs here: CONDUIT METAPHOR (tallas is a piece of communication); PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES (the person "receives" the joke, meaning that he/ she is affected by it). [semana] en que pas ese asunto: A period of time (semana) is conceptualized as a container and an event (asunto) is conceptualized as an object inside this period of time. The container (probably an instance of the CM TIME IS A CONTAINER) is a static entity, whereas the object is seen as moveable, maybe as a vehicle, conception which coincides with LIFE IS A JOURNEY (cf. Section 2). se juntaron las cosas as/ no tiene ninguna cosa de ms peso [pololeo]/ [el pololeo]no me dej mucha marca: Events are directly named cosas and, following a logical chain, they are attributed countableness: they can constitute amounts, have weight, and cause physical damage to the person involved, expressing, respectively, that the sequence of situations may cause a greater sentimental problem, that the event may or may not have a certain degree of importance, and that events can cause lasting affective problems. mantenerla [relacin]/ [que la relacin] se sostuviera: The action of holding an object that can fall lends its connotations to the durability of an event (relacin), in the sense that the participants make efforts to continue their sentimental relationship. me ha cambiado mucho la perspectiva sobre eso [relacin]/ como la veo ahora [relacin]: The overlapping with the CM SEEING IS THINKING/ CONSIDERING allows the CM under analysis; one can "think" about anything, but must "see" something concrete, an object.

CM LOVE IS WAR
BM: Love is intended here as the deep, tender feeling a person has towards another, but principally as the intention of starting out a sentimental relationship with that person. The ways adopted by the speakers in order to reach their intentions are the actions performed by the Agent role, actions which are structured by the concept of WAR. LOVE stands for feelings and relationship, and is instantiated by the Dative role and by reference to states, in the sense both of the person who experiences love and of the person an action is directed to. To make this clearer, we may draw a parallel between the specific meanings LOVE and WAR convey: _____________________________________________________________________________ LOVE WAR

33 _____________________________________________________________________________ feelings (related to Dative) ways to fulfill Agent's intentions intentions of relationship actions performed by Agent (related to actions) relationship (related to states) fulfillment of Agent's intentions (related to states) _____________________________________________________________________________ The metaphorical process of conceptualization is based on a simple rule: "talk about LOVE with the vocabulary of WAR". In order to illustrate this, we will try to design and compare prototypical situations of LOVE and WAR. A love affair episode can be seen as follows: X meets Y. After a certain length of time, X begins to feel love for Y. X wants Y to feel the same for him/her and wants to establish a sentimental relationship with him/her. X must decide how to fulfill his/her intentions and proceeds to direct his/her behaviour to that end. X fulfills his/her intentions or not, depending on a certain number of variables. An episode of a war situation can be seen as follows: There are two parties, X and Y. Each party wants something from the other, territory or booty. X wants Y's booty and must decide on a strategy for obtaining this booty through fighting. After deciding on a strategy to follow, X attacks and the fight develops. X wins or is defeated according to a number of variables and, consequently, obtains or fails to obtain Y's booty. In this episode, WAR appears to have the following steps: 1. intention of obtaining a booty 2. strategy 3. fight 4. victory or defeat; conquest or no obtention of booty. The following series of re-read rules will help to see how the aspects of WAR are to be understood as aspects of LOVE. Thus, if the expression in terms of WAR refers to the intention of obtaining booty, it must be re-read as the intention of starting out a relationship: BM1: [+ intention of booty] [+ intention of relationship]; if the expression refers to an aspect of war-strategy, it must be re-read as a plan for action towards the fulfillment of intentions: BM2: [+ strategy] [+ plan]; if the expression refers to an aspect of the development of a fight, it must be re-read as action on the part of the parties affecting the relation: BM3: [+ fight] [+ actions]. TM: All the verbs involved in the analysis of this CM match the steps "fight" and "victory"; the verbs related with "fight" can be ordered in a sequence, as steps in the fight: 1. make the first move 2. hang by the neck/ miss the chance 3. break down 4. lose/ gain. The final step "gain" overlaps with the verbs related to the final step of WAR: be for have possess have got hold on have power on. This analysis shows two different aspects of the conceptual process: one is that most, if not all, the features of the concept of LOVE can be matched with the features of WAR. The other is that the concept of WAR is shown to coherently structure the texts obtained from the speakers interviewed; it shows as well how this structure is used to organize those aspects of LOVE which, incidentally, are evidently less clearly defined than their WAR counterparts. Two rules can be added now concerning Transfer Mapping information: if the expression refers to a feature implying victory and/ or possession (which is, anyway, a consequence of victory), it must be re-read as success in establishing a relationship: TM1: [+ victory/possession] [+ establishment]; if the expression refers to a feature implying aggressiveness at any level, it must be re-read as implying emotional intensity: TM2: [+ aggressiveness] [+ intensity].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: he really broke me down: By using the expression break down, the speaker refers to a great degree of suffering caused by her partner's behaviour. The intensity of her suffering is inferred from the use of an expression implying a terminal point (in fact, destruction) which on its turn implies various other shades of meaning, such as the impossibility of any reaction or recovering, the lack of further emotional strength, etc., as if she had been completely defeated in battle.

he has to make the first move: The use of this expression implies at least two related aspects: first, it implies that the
first approach to the concept of LOVE will be under the CM LOVE IS WAR since make the first move is a characteristic expression of the domain of WAR; second, it implies the taking of a preliminary "action", belonging to and determining a set of planned actions (the strategy), aimed at the fulfillment of the subject's intentions. people who are for me: Apart from the idea of mere possession, to be for somebody involves also reference to the likeliness that a member of a certain group of people may establish a relationship with the subject (a relation seen as possession) through a sort of predetermination or through the subject's willing selection. Moreover, this is a clear example of how the beloved person can be seen as an object of conquest and can therefore be equated with the booty to be obtained in a war situation. I'm going to have that person sooner or later: A complex thought such as I'm going to get involved in a sentimental relationship with that person, and he is going to feel what I feel for him is packed very briefly into the verb have, along with the connotation of the person as an object. they are being possessed by the woman: The meaning of possession here is different from the one in the previous case. This expression reverses the usual conception of sexual intercourse as an act by which men possess women, by assigning the active control of it (conquering) to women. Context plays an important role in this instantiation when it comes to understanding what the speaker is saying. he has hanged me by the neck: A speaker may probably say: he exerts great influence on me; he can do what he wants, but I depend completely on him to do what I want; everything he does affects me. You know, he hangs me by the neck. Since this metaphorical expression is very common, it is not difficult to infer its connotations. It is assumed as a step in the battle, but not a decisive one; the situation can be reverted. this power that she's got hold on me: The speaker intends to say that her partner has an important influence on her, to such an extent that the metaphorical expression chosen expresses that she cannot avoid being influenced. you miss the chance: Not obtaining the relationship, i.e., failing in establishing a relationship with the other person; the speaker is missing the chance of winning the battle, or even the entire war. you are going to lose him anyway: Lose means a final step in a battle; it is a more radical verb than miss. The relationship has ended, and this is viewed as a loss, a failure, a defeat. you are not going to gain him: The final step in the battle is alluded to again. The subject has obtained what she wanted -the establishment of the relation, viewed as victory, and the obtention of booty.

CM LOVE IS A PHYSICAL FORCE

BM: LOVE is intended as the feeling which moves a person to act towards another so as to produce a desired behaviour. PHYSICAL FORCE is intended as the power that a person may exercise on another so as to produce certain effects on him/her. A person's physical appearance, personality, and behaviour can influence another person in terms of producing

35 fondness, sexual attraction, or love feelings. In metaphorical terms, a person's assets determine the amount and strength of the power to be exerted on people. BM: [+ assets] [+ power]. TM: Conceptualized as power, the behaviour of the partners is explained as the product of actions on the part of one of them or as the result of the action of an external cause. The conceptualization in terms of power provides the possibility of measuring both the amount of power at someone's disposal and the effects which it may produce, i.e., it allows the possibility of evaluating and understanding people's actions and responses within a relationship. Moreover, the distinction between controlled and uncontrolled exertion of power may be seen as a distinction between a degree of more or less intensity of the feelings involved, which is equivalent to the explicit indication of a measurement of the power exerted. Thus: if the expression in terms of physical force implies controlled use of power, it must be re-read as referring to the actions performed by one person in relation to another: TM1: [+ control] [+ action]; if the expression implies reference to the effect of power, it must be re-read as referring to the response of a person either to the behaviour of another or to causes thought to be external: TM2: [ effect] [ response]; if the expression refers to the measurement of power, it must be understood as implying corresponding intensity: TM3: [ high degree] [ intensity]; if the expression implies uncontrolled effect of power, it must also be re-read as a marker of intensity: TM4: [- control] [+ intensity].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: [el amor] puedes reflejarlo en todo: A person demonstrates that he/she is in love through actions and attitudes typically recognizable as 'love' behaviour. [el amor] te lleva a hacer cosas/ no s hasta que punto el amor puede llevarte/ me puse las pilas: Love is considered as a type of energy or "impulse" (or its container, a battery) controlling a person's behaviour. [la mujer] maneja [al hombre]: Having control over other people's behaviour is seen here as the action of driving a vehicle (or riding an animal, typically a horse). This conceptualization of control is quite common; it directly refers to physical manipulation of different kinds. [ella] llegar hasta un grado: Energetic phenomena are measured according to grades in a scale; in this case, the intensity or seriousness of a person's actions, attitudes, or feelings are measured in a similar fashion.

DISCUSSION
Our most important findings in the current analysis can be summarized as follows: 1. The speakers' discourses reveal a great degree of pervasiveness of CMs in their conceptualization of love as a feeling, relationship, or behaviour. 2. Both languages share the same general metaphorical conceptualizations, a fact which highlights the affinity of the two western cultures studied. 3. The CM LOVE IS A JOURNEY is the most frequent CM, where many of other CMs conflate. This is related to the basic conception of life and experiences, which are events in time, in spatial terms. Another possible clue for the

36 pervasiness of this metaphor is that people, in general, have less difficulties in talking about events than in talking about their own emotions, when trying, for example, to define love. 4. Differences between languages pertain mainly to the diverse relevance of metaphors: while in American English both CMs LOVE IS WAR and LOVE IS A JOURNEY are preeminent, the latter is by far the most important CM in Chilean Spanish, having a frequency of about half of the total amount of instantiations depicted through the literalness test. Concerning the CM LOVE IS WAR, there is an interesting conceptualization of love which also appears in the Spanish discourse, but it has not a relevant frequency of occurrence. A feasible explanation of this fact would be a cultural difference in the conception of love relationships; English speakers would have a more aggressive attitude towards social relationships in general, or a more active life, expressed in all domains, than Spanish speakers. Another difference between the two languages is the length of discourse. Spanish speakers seem to be much more communicative than the English ones, and their discourse is richer in terms of conceptualizations, notions, details, and facts, although this can be due to other factors: personality, mood, empathy, and so on. This topic is a very abstract one; in fact, Lakoff and Johnson state that the only "clear" notion of love is that it is a kind of emotion (1980: 35). The borrowing of concepts from distinct conceptual fields is quite evident: physical phenomena, such as movement, energy, spatial relations allow speakers a way of referring to love concretely. Furthermore, this conceptual process seems to be necessary and inescapable; without it there is no way of referring to love. Everyday communication requires the use of concrete notions and referents. According to Lakoff, "...metaphor is not just a matter of language, but of thought and reason. The language is secondary" (1992: 12). Human beings only conceptualize the world they are in (and the world inside them) when they have to communicate with others. In the case of love, it is only when people need to express notions, emotions, and judgments that they perform the conceptual mapping involved in metaphor. Thought and language come together as a unified phenomenon.

SECTION 2.-

TOPIC: DEATH

Concerning the present topic, 4 CMs were identified. Their distribution by language and sex is shown in the following table: CM/ Met LIFE IS A JOURNEY PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES EVENTS ARE OBJECTS DEATH IS A PERSON American English Male Female Chilean Spanish Male Female

CM LIFE IS A JOURNEY
BM: In this case we require a twofold explanation: one accounting for the BM which makes possible to understand LIFE as a JOURNEY, and a second one to understand the specific conceptualization of DEATH within this framework. A possible interpretation is that, since life is understood as a sequence of actions, activities, and events, it is possible to transfer its linear temporal aspect to the idea of physical movement from one place to another. In this sense, experiencing (i.e., sequence of experiences) is directly equated to travelling (i.e., sequence of places). The proposed BM rule is then: [+ experience] [+ movement]. Now, within the framework of LIFE being understood as a JOURNEY, DEATH (that is, the termination of existence) is understood as the end of the journey. Needless to say, it is in relation to LIFE and its conceptualization that any attempt to characterize death is carried out. Notice that even in the cases where one's period of life is considered as a step within an eternal span of life (as when referring to reencarnation or otherwordly life), its end is conceived as the last stage in the journey. Death is then understood mainly as a place, and this is possible because death is basically an event and, since events are mainly conceived as objects, events can be understood as places. A secondary BM rule may be then: [+ place] [+ event]. The place may be the final stage in one's journey, but also the initial stage of another journey; this, incidentally, is the only way of structuring the conceptualization of what happens after death (i.e., using the structure of life's conceptualization). In fact, in many cases there is no explicit indication that the word life is being conceived as a journey other than the existence of other overt instantiations of this CM along the discourse produced. TM: The moments of our birth and death are understood as the beginning and the end of the journey. Events are viewed as places we go through during our journey. Our friends and relatives are seen as companions . Time is conceptualized in terms of locativeness. As we do not have any idea of what happens during the moment of death nor afterwards, the easiest way to conceptualize it is by using the same structures we use to conceptualize life, and thus we think of death as a second journey, similar to the first one but with one difference: death will be understood either as the event of ending the first journey and starting off the second one (departure) or as the state of being dead, i.e., of being on the travel itself. A second difference is that the second journey is marked by the feature [- return] as a logical possibility (resurrection being a fantastic event as far as we are concerned) which, in the case of life, corresponds to the action of remembering. As an event, death is referred to as a place we can arrive at or depart from. If death is the final place/point of our journey, we can arrive at it quickly, slowly, unexpectedly, willfully, accidentally; we may be near or far off from it, etc., thus characterizing death as the disappearance from our ordinary lives. If death is also considered as a departing point, it is easier to define both objects and people still living as things and people being left and the dead person as somebody "departing" or "gone". That is why we can even talk of "saying our last good-bye" to a person who is about to die, for example. In other words, DEATH is the place and DYING is arriving at and/or departing from that place. The corresponding TM rules may be formulated as follows: if the expression refers to a stage or period during the journey, it must be understood as referring to a stage or period during life: TM1: [+ stage] [+ stage]; if the expression refers to the concept of physical movement during the first journey, it must be understood as a reference to change in time, whether future (forward movement) or past (backward movement): TM2: [+ forward movement] [+ future] [+ backward movement] [+ past]; if the expression refers to a place as the goal of the journey or a reference point behind, it must be understood as an event in the future or in the past, respectively:

38 TM3: [+ goal/source] [+ future/past event]; if the expression refers to the presence of other people considered as companions during the journey, it must be understood as people related to the dead person in his/her life (friends, relatives, etc.): TM4: [ company] [ relative/friend]; if the expression refers to the final instance of a stage, period, process, the journey itself, etc., it must be understood as referring to the actual termination of the living process both in its physical aspect as in the social and psychological ones attached to it: TM5: [+ end] [+ termination]; reference to the second journey must be understood as reference to the events and actions related to after-death continuation, which is conceptualized as another life (i. e., another journey): TM6: [+ second journey] [+ after-life]; reference to the arrival or departure from the point (whether final or transient) must be re-read as reference to the passing away of a person: TM7: [+ arrival/departure] [+ death]; reference to the person arriving at the point or departing from it must be understood as the person passing away or becoming dead: TM8: [+ traveller] [+ dead]; reference to participants as being left (whether people or objects) must be re-read as referring to the people related to the dead person who are still alive or to the objects which were related (often by possession) to the dead person: TM9: [+ left] [+ people/objects]; if the expression refers to the transport used in the second journey (often called death, through objectivization or even personification), it must be understood as the event of dying as a process: TM10: [+ vehicle] [+ process]; if the expression refers to the end of the second journey, it must be re-read as an imagined after-life state, often characterized according to religious, mythical or fantastic cosmologies: TM11: [+ second finish] [+ state]; reference to the return from the second journey must be re-read as the possibility of resurrection: TM12: [ return] [ resurrection].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: they're taken away from you: The dead person is unwillingly abandoning life, conceptualized as a place, and is taken to another place, death, which is thought to be a long distance away. there's no escaping: The impossibility of changing the life process is seen as a curse, as punishment. you're going to go to heaven: Christianity has given its believers a conceptualization of death which is utterly concrete: it is a place people (or their souls) go to when they die; seemingly, another planet. [death] changes through life: What is interesting here is not the conceptualization of death, but the fact that a concept (DEATH, in this case) is seen as an object, on account of the CM STATES ARE OBJECTS, and the fact that our opinions and ideas develop in certain ways is seen as an almost formal change in the objects called 'concepts'. live and die and see what happens afterwards: The CM KNOWING IS SEEING gives coherence to the fact that the speaker will end his journey and will see (understand) what death is like.

IMPLICIT INTENTION: despus de esta vida hay otra vida/ la gente se va al cielo: Here we encounter the traditional Christian conception of what happens after death. Death is considered a journey towards a specific place, world, heaven, where people continue living, though in a different way; this other world is considered to be better than the ordinary, earthly one. volvemos a la tierra: This is an ecological conception of the life-cycle; we, as part of nature, are re-integrated into it after we die, as mere matter. [uno] va a alcanzar [vida eterna]: The use of alcanzar instead of llegar indicates the conception of after-life as a place where the speaker expects to find happiness or, at least, better conditions of existence; therefore, a desirable goal to achieve at a given moment. como no me ha pasado [algo as]/ por lo que me ha pasado: Here the CM EVENTS ARE OBJECTS is entailed, since the image is the following: the traveller is in movement (probably in a vehicle) and he sees how events pass beside him, as if they were objects (or places) he comes across during the journey. se me viene la muerte/ llegado el momento de [morir]: Here death seems to be conceptualized either as a vehicle (or some kind of moving object) approaching the traveller or as a place the traveller is going to arrive to inevitably. [la muerte] es un camino natural de... las personas: Death is not only being conceptualized as the place where one arrives at the end of the life's journey but is further specified as a path, as a route to follow. The idea of predetermined direction may indicate the conception of death as an inevitable event.

CM PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES

BM: The analysis of this CM made in the section corresponding to the concept of LOVE also applies in this case. BM: [+ contain] [+ undergo]. Notice we have here considered as states many instances which would normally be called entities (ideas, vivencias, facultades, etc. ). Basically, every "pure" abstraction is in reality a psychological state which is entified so as to deal with it concretely. That is why the concept of "spirit" (espritu), the non-physical existence of man, is so easily understood as an entity with human characteristics. TM: Only a small amount of TM rules are necessary here, since BM information is sufficient to understand the metaphorical processes involved. However, some processes can be specified. These processes map both the possible use of contained objects (especially concerning measurement) and the state of being a container (in terms of being full, empty, or used as carrier) onto the relations attached to human entities and entified abstract states. These processes may be formulated as follows: if the expression in terms of container involves the idea of possession, it must be understood as an attempt to relate directly, and sometimes emphatically, some abstract instance to a person or a group of people: TM1: [+ possession] [+ direct relation]; if the expression implies measurement of the content of the container, it must be re-read as an attempt to express the intensity of states or the abstraction of entities: TM2: [+ measure] [+ intensity] / [+ measure][+ abstraction]; if a reference is made to the state of the container in relation to the amount of content within it (especially in terms of being full or empty), it must be re-read as an attempt to characterize a person or a group of people in terms of their correspondent abstract quality or state: TM3: [+ full] [+ characterized]; if the expression refers to inside-outside movement, it must be re-read as referring to the explicit demonstration of states (outside movement) or to the characterization of some aspect of a person or a group of people (inside movement): TM4: [+ inside] [+ characteristic] / [+ outside] [+ explicitness].

un dolor inmenso/ muy profundo: in the first case, a physical characteristic (inmenso) is attributed to a state (dolor);
in the second case, we argue that there exists of a conceptualization which defines that the intensity of an emotion is metaphorized as the depth where the object is contained within the person. sale esa parte del ser humano: the underlying idea is that the exposition of the contained object to the outer world implies the explicit demonstration of our emotions. haba mucha pena [en el funeral]: one interpretation of this instantiation is that the feeling contained by each person attending the funeral is considered a sort of "collective" feeling. Another reading is based on the CM EVENTS ARE CONTAINERS in which this collective feeling is contained by the funeral itself.

CM DEATH IS A PERSON
BM: Different metaphorizations have been grouped under the general label of personification of the concept DEATH. DEATH is perceived as a natural (biological) change of a physical state, from being alive to becoming dead. As we do

43 not have a clear idea about the causes of this process, we try to conceptualize them in many different ways. One of these ways is the personification of the causes, i.e., to understand the process of death as an effect or event, and the causes of death as a person provoking the effect or instigating the event; graphically: DEATH PERSON process event/effect causes causer A possible BM rule may be then: [+ natural] [+ provoked]. TM: In the instantiations we are concerned with at present, the causer seems to be conceptualized in one of two different ways: first, as an individual who deliberately inflicts damage (change of state) or does something against the will of the subject, expressed through three CMs: DEATH IS AN ENEMY, DEATH IS A JUDGE and DEATH IS A DRIVER; second, as a person, in terms of being able to be born and give birth, apparently according to an entailed general CM CAUSES ARE CREATORS/ EFFECTS ARE CREATIONS. In both cases, CAUSER is considered a person with intentions and will, who can be good or evil, fair or unfair, flexible or inflexible. The following TM rules may be stated: if the expression in terms of PERSON refers to a human being involved in the birth process, it must be re-read as physical changes which involve living beings: TM1: [+ birth] [+ physical change]; if the expression refers to death as an enemy, it must be re-read as the fear of people towards death (which moves them to conceptualize it as a personified threat, i.e., an enemy): TM2: [+ enemy] [+ threat]; a reference to death as a judge or as a driver, indicating its power of choice, must be re-read as the person's death circumstances (who is going to die, when and where), which can seldom be determined beforehand: TM3: [+ choice] [+ uncertainty].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: Concerning the instantiations of the CMs DEATH IS AN ENEMY/ JUDGE/ DRIVER, this conceptualization, on the whole, aims at hiding the fact that death is a natural, and therefore necessary and inevitable, process affecting all living beings, and that this natural phenomenon is due to many overlapping objective factors; that is, it is generally not produced by a person's intention.

DISCUSSION
In the discourses concerned with DEATH, metaphorical language was far more frequent than literal language. The CMs selected fall within two main categories: those CMs which are directly used to define the very concept of DEATH (LIFE IS A JOURNEY and DEATH IS A PERSON) and those which are more general and, therefore, common to discourses related to many other topics (PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES and EVENTS ARE OBJECTS). The LIFE IS A JOURNEY CM was by far the most important both conceptually and statistically (i.e., in terms of its pervasiveness and number of instantiations). In fact, we found instantiations of LIFE IS A JOURNEY in all the texts examined. This means at least two things: first, that this CM is the principal one when conceptualizing DEATH; second, that the process is explicitly instantiated every time this CM conceptually structures a discourse (as we will see later, there are some CMs which, though very important within the conceptual structure of a discourse, are not so easily found instantiated explicitly). A possible reason for the importance of this CM is that the conceptualization of LIFE and DEATH is, to a great extent, defined almost exclusively by its temporal aspect, a category which in turn is mainly understood in locative terms. The TIME - PLACE relationships will be further analysed in the next section. The information for this CM displayed in the tables illustrates the kind of instantiations we usually came across with. Notice that some instantiations are, at first sight, hardly metaphorical (for instance, on Sunday). The instantiation seems to be

44 fairly explicit in terms of meaning but its metaphoricity is made apparent only when we use the JOURNEY framework: Sunday is a day, a period of time taken as a place during the journey, hence the use of on. As with this example, there are many others which are not prototypical cases of the CM but which, submitted to analysis, are in fact, though less explicitly, instances of LIFE IS A JOURNEY. This situation, common to the majority of the structural CMs analysed, has been exemplified in each table. DEATH IS A PERSON is the only CM exhibiting low frequency of occurrence; in fact, it was statistically significant only in the Chilean Spanish female discourse. However, it is important on account of its richness. The corpus shows that subjects were inclined to be rather emotional when characterizing DEATH and that they tended to personify it in order to express this content: it is easier to understand fear when this is caused by a person rather than by an object; we can insult a person but can hardly do so with an object. Although PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES does not immediately follow LIFE IS A JOURNEY in terms of frequency of occurrence, it has priority since it is related to an intimate aspect of the DEATH concept DEATH, namely, the emotive aspect. It seems that feelings and emotions are mostly considered as objects within people, and that whenever emotional reactions (towards love, death, etc. ) are mentioned, this is the CM selected. Death appears to produce, in general, fear, sadness, or grief, feelings which are referred to through this CM. It can therefore be considered conceptually essential for the construction and subsequent understanding of this type of discourse. Since both in English and Spanish the greatest amount of instantiations refer to the possession of feelings, it could be argued (as in the case of LIFE IS A JOURNEY) that they may not be instantiations of PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES, since "to possess" does not imply necessarily "to contain". However, the analysis of other more explicit instantiations of PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES, where people transfer their feelings in one way or another, shows that feelings are either kept or allowed to burst out. Statistically, EVENTS ARE OBJECTS, together with LIFE IS A JOURNEY and PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES, amount to over 50% of the instantiations of all the CMs found. In the case of EVENTS ARE OBJECTS, its pervasiveness may be explained by a simple fact: the topic of DEATH triggered many reflections related to the subject's life, special moments, etc.. In the narration of past events, these events are very likely to be considered objects, especially when there is no other purpose than that of just mentioning a certain event without further reflection on it. In this case, events are generally quantified (an accident) or characterized in physical terms (a big tragedy). This conceptualization of EVENTs is the product of an entification process in which a series of actions are viewed as a unit. The only text where EVENTS ARE OBJECTS was not statistically significant was in the Chilean Spanish female one. It followed immediately after LIFE IS A JOURNEY in frequency in the American English female discourse, after PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES in the American English male discourse, and showed the highest frequency in the Chilean Spanish male discourse.

CM/ Met THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS A RACE CONDUIT METAPHOR EVENTS ARE PEOPLE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS ARE PHYSICAL DAMAGES ACTIVITIES ARE SURFACES INSTITUTIONS ARE CONTAINERS American English Chilean Spanish

Met THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE

BM: In this metonymy, related also to the personification process, references to public institutions (administration, companies, industrial field, etc.), which are abstract social organizations, constitute actual references to the influence they have on society and to the interrelationship they have with other institutions. This process is carried out without reference to the persons in charge of these organizations, who are in fact those who can perform the actions or experience the states attributed to institutions (e.g., the telephone industry offered... to invest). The semantic, social, and political content of this process is that institutions are conceived of as instruments of common interest, though actually what an institution "does" or "think" is what the people in charge of it do, think, or feel, which is not necessarily of common interest. Thus, for the BM of this metonymic concept, a reference to a leader's personal decision/position must be re-read as a reference to an institution's action/state, meant as social agreement. BM: [+ personal decision] [+ social agreement]/ [+ personal position] [+ social agreement]. We have found that except for this basic transference of meaning, there are no additional changes involved in the metonymic conceptualization; hence no transfer mapping rules are to be specified . This may be due to the fact that, since the target domain and the source domain are semantically related, the additional characteristics of the former remain unchanged after the conceptualization process has taken place.

IMPLICIT INTENTION: This double conceptualization (personification and metonymy) has to do with the social/political responsibility of whom is in charge of an institution, and, perhaps more importantly, with the social/political influence/power a person may have over other people or over society as a whole when he/she is in charge of an organization. This responsibility and/or power is "hidden" in the economic discourse by the metonymic process. TABLE 3.2: Met: THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE - CHILEAN SPANISH

IMPLICIT INTENTION: The social/political influence/power and the responsibility a person in charge of an institution may have over other people or over society is "hidden" in the economic discourse by the metonymic process.

CM: ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS A RACE

BM: In this case, economic activity is understood as the interactions of different organizations (companies, industries, etc.) according to their particular intentions concerning a common purpose. The concept of race is used to conceptualize the means, actions, and purposes attempted and/or achieved by organizations in terms of a competition based mainly on speed. BM: [+ competition] [+ activity]. It must be pointed out that economic activity is objectivized as a race only because "race" is an already metaphorized concept; in fact, the event is understood as an object having concrete boundaries and structure. TM: A race is conceptualized as involving at least two or more competitors who begin at some point (a start) and move in the direction of a final goal (a finish); the objective of each competitor is to be the first in reaching the finish. To this general structure we may add rules which are specific to different types of races (e.g., horse races vs. car races), and which are generally dictated by some organisms and applied by specific representatives of them. Thus, in the field of economy, whenever two or more organizations intend to obtain profits in the same domains of activity, they are conceptualized as rivals competing for the most profitable areas. Success will be achieved by the use of greater speed in communication or information, investment, decision taking, etc.. Since the competitors are, in fact, organizations (i.e., groups of people), they are conceptualized as teams constituted by members who are specialists in the different aspects of the competition, and who can thus provide a grounding for the concept of efficiency. The rules of the race are, in fact, the regulations stated (and applied) by the political and economic authorities (government). The TM rules may be stated then in the following fashion: if the expression in terms of the concept of race refers to the competitors in the race, it must be re-read as referring to the organizations involved in the activity: TM1: [+ competitors] [+ companies]; if the expression refers to the competitors as teams, it must be understood as referring to the organizational aspect of the company: TM2: [+ team] [+ organization]; if the expression refers to the members of a team, it must be re-read as referring to a group of people acting as a part of an organization: TM3: [+ member] [+ part]; if the expression implies the idea of forward movement, it must be understood as referring to actions taken by the organization: TM4: [ movement] [ action];

47 if the expression implies the idea of greater speed in relation either to other competitors or to a former stage of the organization, it must be re-read as involving speed in aspects like obtaining and analyzing information, getting in contact with organizations, etc.: TM5: [+ speed] [+ speed]; if the expression implies the concept of advantage ( physical advancement) over one or more competitors, it must be understood as implying an improvement over similar organizations: TM6: [+ advance] [+ relative improvement]; if the expression refers to the rules of the race, it must be understood as the regulations ordering economic activity in its different areas: TM7: [+ rules] [+ regulations]; if the expression refers to the organism which provides the rules and verifies their application during races, it must be re-read as referring to the economic authorities: TM8: [+ ruler] [+ authority]; if the expression refers to the idea of finish, it must be understood as referring to the final purpose or objective of an organization's activity: TM9: [+ finish] [+ purpose].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: we have come together/the break-up of AT & T: One of the complex features of the RACE conceptualization is the one concerning the teams which are in competition. Individual people are seldom seen as part of the teams (with the exception of their leaders, of course), and in cases where a union or a rupture is observed, the resulting entities are new teams (enterprises) and not isolated people.

CM MEANINGS ARE OBJECTS/ COMMUNICATION IS SENDING (CONDUIT METAPHOR)

BM: In the CONDUIT METAPHOR, the vocabulary of TRANSPORTATION (objects carried from one place to another) is used to conceptualize the field of COMMUNICATION (in this case, a nation's information system): BM: [+ transport] [+ communicate]. TM: In this CM, an OBJECT (information/ call/ learning) is sent, supported or used; it is sent by a TRANSPORT (telephone system/ network/ superhighway/ service/ carrier/ vehicle (commute)) to different distances within towns (door-to-door/home-business (telecommuting)), between towns (superhighway), between countries (long-distance); it is supported by someone (AT&T), and can be used as a resource (raw material). TM rules in this case may be established as follows: if a reference to packages/resources is made, it must be re-read as a reference to pieces of information:

48 [+ package] [+ information]/ [+ resource] [+ information]; if a reference to a transport is made, it must be re-read as referring to an information system: [+ transport] [+ system] if a reference to the distance along which objects are carried is made, it must be re-read as referring to the communication span: TM2: [+ distance] [+ distance].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: information superhighway: The term highway expresses the idea that the path through which communication is sent is wide, direct, rapid, bi-directional, from one town to another; these characteristics are intensified by the prefix super.

CM EVENTS ARE PEOPLE

BM: In this case, it should be noticed first that the concept of EVENT is already the product of a metaphoric conceptualization in which a set of participants, interrelated through their actions, is seen as a unit and is objectivized as having concrete boundaries, and an existence in time and space (e.g., a party, a race, the break-up of a couple, etc.). If an event is understood as an object, this object can be personified, i.e., conceptualized as having characteristics attributable to human beings. The concept of objectivity entailed by EVENT is mapped onto the concept of humanity, specifically to that of agentiveness attributed to human beings; thus: [+ object] [+ agent]. In some cases, specific ways of characterizing a person can be distinguished in the personification process (e.g., as an adversary, a friend, etc.). In the present type of discourse, we could infer only some characterizations, like "helper" or "servicer", in the case of supporting or servicing actions, and "restrictor", in cases of restrictions.

CM ECONOMIC PROBLEMS ARE PHYSICAL DAMAGES

BM: In this case, economy stands for the system of role interaction known as 'market', while physical damage (injury) involves the way in which troublesome results are evaluated and dealt with. The first mapping must then be established between the concept of market (i.e., market components) and a living organism likely to be injured: BM: [+ market] [+ living organism]. TM: A physical damage is a problem affecting one of the components of the market; therefore, its degree of seriousness, its causes, further consequences, and treatment are to be understood in the context of a problem of the market. The reread rules may be formulated as follows: if in the expression referring to physical damage the causer of the damage is identified, it must be re-read as referring to the reason of the problem: TM1: [+ injure] [+ cause]; if the expression involves a degree of seriousness of the damage, it must be re-read as referring to the seriousness of the problem: TM2: [+ seriousness] [+ seriousness]; if the expression refers to an aspect of the treatment for the ailment of the injury, it must be re-read as implying the measures taken to solve the problem in the market: TM3: [+ treatment] [+ measures]; if the expression refers to the (type of) injury involved, it must be re-read as referring to the (more or less) definite resulting circumstances: TM4: [+ injury] [- positive results].

CM ACTIVITIES ARE SURFACES

BM: Economic activity involves not only the actions performed by market components, but also the entities and circumstances which are part of the actions themselves; it is in this broad sense that the concept of activities must be

50 understood. The idea of SURFACES stands for a set of interactions and circumstances taken as isolated items or seen as wholes. The BM rule can summarize both ideas in the following way: BM: [+ economic activity] [+ surface]. TM: In this case, situations or their conditions and (especially inanimate) participants seem to be conceived of as a surface or as a part of a greater surface which is meant to be the context on which things happen. Therefore, every action performed in the economic field is understood as an action occurring upon a surface, especially in terms of movements and positions. The contents of the corresponding TM rules clarify this point: if the expression in terms of surface implies movement on a surface, it must be re-read as implying actions or measures taken by one of the participants: TM1: [+ movement] [+ action/ measure]; if the expression refers to the fixed position of one or more of the participants relative to the surface, it must be understood as indicating a permanent situation for the participants involved: TM2: [+ fixation] [+ permanence]; if the expression specifies the surface as the base for a certain construction, it must be understood as referring to the most important, and often initial, stage from which a result, an action, or a process develops: TM3: [+ base] [origin]; if the expression refers to the limits of the surface, it must be re-read as the specification of the situational context of the activity or as an action: TM4: [+ limits] [+ context].

las autoridades fijaron un precio: The decision expressed in terms of a physical action -which means to fix
something on a place, implying the use of some degree of force upon the thing fixed- refers to the power the authority has in establishing the economic policy, which is not meant to be discussed. tomar decisiones sobre base cierta/ el clculo se basa en [event]: These instantiations are directly related to the CM under analysis, but in this specific case the CM is part of a more general metaphorical concept: AN ARGUMENT IS A BUILDING. Its conceptual structure is only partially involved, namely, the entailment A BUILDING DEFINES A SURFACE, which is the point where the two analyzed CMs coincide.

CM INSTITUTIONS ARE CONTAINERS.

BM: Two processes must be distinguished in this case. First, the metaphorical conceptualization by means of which a place is understood as a container and, second, the metonymic conceptualization through which an institution is represented by reference to its location. Thus, this BM requires a twofold rule:

51 BM1: [+ container] [+ place]/ BM2: [+ location] [+ existence]. TM: Market activity (including its participants) is thus conceptualized as an object contained within the institution. The continuity or ceasing of the activity is expressed through descriptions of openness or enclosure of the container. In this way, economic activity can be generalized, institutional responsibilities can be assigned, and periods of activity can be measured and isolated. Only two rules are needed for this analysis: if the expression in terms of the container refers to the contained object, it must be understood as referring to the economic activity (and/or its participants) developed by the institution: TM1: [+ contained] [+ activity]; if the expression refers to the container as being closed or open, it must be re-read as referring to the completion or non-completion of the activity developed by the institution: TM2: [ enclosure] [ completion].

IMPLICIT INTENTION: The CM and Met seem to be structural conceptualizations, that is, there are no literal counterparts for the discourse structured by these concepts.

DISCUSSION
Within this topic we found a noticeable contrast between English and Spanish discourses in terms of the selected CMs used in each case. In fact, the only CM common to both languages was THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE, which is of no surprise since both texts deal with economic policies and, consequently, frequent reference to institutions and authorities was necessary. A possible reason accounting for the use of different CMs in each language is that both texts, although concerning the same field within business (communication enterprises), refer to different kinds of situations. In the American English case, the text refers basically to actions and decisions being taken and their consequences; on the other hand, the Chilean Spanish text refers to a certain state of affairs and its different characteristics. The abundant reference, in the first case, to concepts related to actions and activities and their reflection on the selected CMs is understandable. ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS A RACE, CONDUIT METAPHOR and EVENTS ARE PEOPLE refer all of them to different aspects of the activities being performed: to economic activity in general, to the particular activity of the communications field, and to the way events are seen as producing certain effects, respectively. In the Chilean Spanish case, the content is that of a speculative analysis of a certain situation: the CM ECONOMIC PROBLEMS ARE PHYSICAL DAMAGES is typically used in the context of studying a problem; INSTITUTIONS ARE CONTAINERS may be frequent only if we are describing the way in which a certain institution's position is perceived with respect to the activity; even the very concept of ACTIVITY was mainly conceived in a stative sense through the CM ACTIVITIES ARE SURFACES. In fact, we can argue that this is a clear example of how the use of certain CMs depends not only on the topic selected but also on the aspects of that topic that are going to be discussed.

52 Some other conclusions can be drawn from this analysis. For example, that the extended use of a CM like ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS A RACE in the American English case is not haphazard in a system were each component piece depends on the performance of all the rest for its survival. But they would be only speculations. What is of real importance here is that, for each language, the selected CMs amounted to more than half of the total number of instantiations in each text. If the preceding discussion is correct, this would mean that the selected CMs may be perfectly arranged according to the purposes a writer wants to achieve in his/ her discourse.

SECTION 4.- TOPIC: POLITICS

In this section, the analysis of the corresponding texts allowed us to identify 4 main Mets and 3 CMs, which we detail below in terms of language source. CM/ Met THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE EVENTS ARE OBJECTS/ CONTAINERS STATES ARE OBJECTS/ CONTAINERS POLITICS IS A JOURNEY OBJECT USED FOR USER CONTROLLER FOR CONTROLLED THE WHOLE FOR THE PART American English Chilean Spanish

Met THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE

BM/TM: The same analysis performed in section 3 applies in this case. IMPLICIT-INTENTION: As an organization, a country has its regulations and arrangements; people act according to certain pre-determined patterns of behaviour and establish hierarchical relations for each situation. As an organization, it also has certain objectives or purposes supposed to be shared by all of its members. A country is also related to other countries (at least in government terms) in conflictive or non-conflictive terms. Many sub-organizations have been developed to deal with other countries, whether in friendly or unfriendly terms (e.g., embassies v/s armies). The Metonymy simplifies all this complex system of functions and sub-functions by attributing human characteristics to countries: a human being's life depends also on his/her physiological functioning, he/she has his/her own ways to relate to other people both as a friend or as an enemy, and he/she has intentions and purposes for his/her life. In a sense, the idea of a country being a person allows for the conception of many people having the same purposes and reactions to the influence of other groups of people having, also, basic shared intentions and beliefs. This conceptualization coheres with other CMs, like ECONOMY IS HEALTH/INFLATION IS SICKNESS, SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS ARE LIVING ORGANISMS, GOVERNMENT IS THE HEAD, etc., and it acts as a base to consider other nations (i.e. organized groups of people owning a territory) as being certain types of people: neighbors, enemies, friends, traitors, partners, foreigners, etc. In some cases, (3.1 and 3.2), this metonymy allows to attribute human characteristics to an institution, in order to highlight the social quality and downplay the personal quality a political action implies. In the case of entities like nation (different from country), American thinking, Americans, there is an overlapping conceptualization with the Met THE WHOLE FOR THE PART: these entities can be seen as institutions, but they are less concrete than country (or its proper name), government, Council; they are seen as collective unities. Finally, there is an additional overlapping with the Met THE PLACE FOR THE INSTITUTION in Kremlin, Moscow, which are, respectively, the government's building and the city in which the building is located.

CM EVENTS ARE OBJECTS/ CONTAINERS (CM POLITICS IS A JOURNEY)

BM: The same analysis undertaken in Section 1 is applicable in this case. We can define an event as a set of participants involved in (sometimes predetermined) actions/states/ processes seen as associated to a temporal and situational framework. To understand events as unities the writer confers objective concreteness to them, which allows him to specify their influence upon the participants involved or on any other phenomenon. The BM rule can be formulated as follows: "abstract" relatedness (of people, objects, actions and states) is seen as a concrete unity attributed to objects. BM: [+ relatedness] [+ concreteness]. TM: As in section 1, we refer to an event either as a way of structuring our actions in terms of time and place, or as a way of evaluating and analysing people's actions. if the expression in terms of OBJECT refers to a transferable object, it must be understood as referring to a transitive action involving people: TM1: [+ transferability] [+ transitivity]; if the expression implies a physical description of positive/negative connotations, it must be re-read as a person's positive/negative emotion towards a certain event: TM2: [+ physical description] [+ emotional expression]; if the expression refers to the object as "possessed" in some way, it must be understood as an indication of the importance attached to the state by the speaker: TM3: [+ possession] [+ importance]. These rules are basically the same as those of Section 3, though they have to be understood here as referring not only to people but also, in some cases, to entified abstracts notions, like nation, conflict, etc. The rules used for this analysis are the following: For the case of EVENTS ARE CONTAINERS, a different TM rule must be formulated, indicating that the concreteness attributed to an object is further transferred to an object containing the participants and/or other objects involved: TM4: [+ relatedness] [+ content].

challenges the president will have to face: The event referred is described as an object which is going in the
direction of the leader, e.g., an enemy's attack. The president's act of facing represents the qualities which distinguish a proper leader: courage, wisdom, decision. This could be an instantiation of POLITICS IS WAR.

in the immediate aftermath of the war: Again, problems are moving objects, directed towards the current situation.
A logical chain is intended in the use of the expression aftermath; actually, causality among events happening successively is a matter of opinions. to defuse the argument: An argument is meant to have physical characteristics, namely, to be harmful for people or for the conflict. To defuse it is to make it "weaker", not so convincing. the one-sided way: An action, as part of an event, is in turn conceptualized as a kind of movement, which may act in one direction or another, or in both; this means simply that different actions are taken and different consequences are predicted or analysed. vision produced [something]: Political ideas and positions are mapped onto political actions which have consequences; in this instantiation, the first phenomenon (vision) is understood as an ultimate causer. to advance a new concept: An action is viewed as a forward movement, and its object (concept) is intended to be carried or handled onto a point ahead, a point in the future.

IMPLICIT INTENTION: Realineamientos para un nuevo orden en el golfo/ el nuevo orden mundial/ configurar un nuevo ordenamiento planetario: The world is seen as a building within which the countries are pieces of furniture, requiring to be placed in order. This "order" refers to the power and hierarchy relationship among nations; the "orderer(s)" is/are the most powerful nation(s). restaurar el violado derecho internacional/ [Al] recomponiendo una relacin daada: The Objective cases, a set of regulations and an international relationship, are first personified as Dative to refer to someone's actions or to situations which are explicitly contradicting these regulations and affecting the relatioship; next, they are again conceptualized as concrete objects in order to view them as re-established. [ordenamiento] en el que Estados Unidos [hace algo]/ [oso] meti baza en el asunto con una propuesta de paz/ [Sadam ha] puesto el problema...en la agenda: Political affairs are regulated, affected, and developed by the leaders of the nations involved; again, personification overlaps: we can indistinctively talk about Estados Unidos or Sadam. equilibrio bipolar/ el hundimiento del sistema sovitico/ [aceptacin] implica un giro radical en la situacin/ podran emerger...dos reas de influencia/ [Bush] llev a la prctica el "neoglobalismo" reaganiano/ [detener] la revolucin integrista exportada por Jomeini/ los acontecimientos tomaron su propia dinmica/ [el Frente] montado en la ola del auge integrista: In order to consider political situations, qualification takes the form of an orientational metaphor: upward orientation means positive state, emergence; downward orientation means negative state/ situation, ceasing; forward direction means development and direct agentiveness (manipulation) of events by political actors and, inversely, absence of motion means either that actions are not taken or that they were stopped by someone. There are personifications in many cases. In the last case, there is a number of overlapping metaphorical conceptualizations: a personification image for a political group; the notion of control and benefit through the action of riding; upward orientation meaning a highly positive situation; ola meaning high expansion of an advanced trend of political thought. guerra fra: In this case, the conceptualization of events as concrete objects overlaps with a CM we have labelled ACTIVITY IS HEAT. no se han escatimado esfuerzos: The CM under analysis is further developed in the conceptualization of time and physical/ psychological energy as resources, which can be used discretely. arma de doble filo...sta de la guerra: Here the conception of events is not only as resources, but as instruments, and consequently as weapons (powerful instruments).

CM STATES ARE OBJECTS/ CONTAINERS

BM: Basically, a state cannot be conceptualized in a way other than as a unity, an entity, an object. Conceived as such, any reference to it will be structured as a concrete object by definition. In previous cases, this CM has been examined as an entailment of the CM PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES. In the present case, however, this CM does not directly specify people as containers but views people's political circumstances -which are non-concrete (doubts, ideas,

58 moods, feelings, non-physical features, judgments, etc.)- as being concrete objects, so that they can be physically expressed as manipulated by political actors. BM: [+ physical description ] [+ political circumstances]. TM: This implies that many states will be seen as moveable, transferable, heavy objects, and therefore giving the impression of being actions rather than states. The only information required to uncover the process is the one offered in the BM rule, with the addition of the following TM rule, applicable to only some cases: if the expression, in terms of being an object implies the transference or movement of the object, it must be understood as referring to the psychological changes ("abstract actions") attributed to the personified entities, or as a change attributed to some situations: TM1: [+ movement] [+ change].

CM POLITICS IS A JOURNEY
BM: In a few references to a specific activity, such as politics, events are considered as journeys, a conceptualization which is entailed in the CM EVENTS ARE CONTAINERS. Political actions, situations, and other sorts of activities are seen as the development of a purpose towards a goal, a purposeful movement in time (conceptualized as place). BM: [+ travel] [+ action/ situation]. TM: A journey defines a path, a stretch of time, a starting and an ending point (purpose). Unlike Section 1, what is relevant here is the purpose guiding a political action, and the means used in order to achieve this purpose. if a reference to forward movement is made, it must be re-read as either political action towards a purpose or as a development (of political/ economical sort) in the situation conceived as a journey: TM1: [+ forward movement] [+ action]; TM2: [+ forward movement] [+ development]; if the expression refers to the transport used in the journey, it must be understood as the process being controlled by someone or undergoing a situation: TM3: [+ vehicle] [+ process];

59 if the expression refers to a place as the goal of the journey, it must be understood as the purpose of the political action: TM4: [+ goal] [+ purpose]; if the expression refers to a stage or period during the journey, it must be understood as referring to a (transient) stage during political affairs: TM5: [+ stage] [+ stage]; if a reference is made to a determined static point in the journey, it must be re-read as a significant event in the political action/ situation: TM6: [+ point] [+ event].

in the final analysis/ in the first place/ These two steps/ After all/ in the long run: These are typical linking
expressions which, according to Lakoff and Johnson (1980:79), belong to an argumentation process, conceptualized in terms of war. In this case, ARGUMENT is entailed in POLITICS as a necessary component. TABLE 4.6: CM: POLITICS IS A JOURNEY - AMERICAN ENGLISH

Met OBJECT USED FOR USER

BM: A leader in possession of his/her position is set to perform actions, take decisions, get involved in all sorts of conflicts, agreements, treaties, and the like, acting as a representative of the nation, of the people who trust his intentions and capacity to act for the "common good". The leader's actions have consequences, reactions in other leaders, benefits or damages. Again, the issue of a personal decision taken as a social agreement is expressed, but in this case it refers specifically to the (desired or undesired) effects of the leader's actions, or to the leader's purpose in doing something, all of which is expressed as if the actions/ measures/ decisions (instruments) were willing animate human beings acting as if they were Agents. A whole nation , as a unity, including not only the government but the whole population, is being referred to. If the reference were to only part of a country, it would not be coherent with the concept of a person, a unity. Since the unitarian concept of a country is the key to the understanding of it as a conscious, volitive entity, the BM rule can be stated as follows: BM: [+ volition] [+ instrumentality].

IMPLICIT-INTENTION: A re-composition of the meaningful process this metonymy conveys is to attribute the action/ states to the people who are actually performing them, as if we said: "When someone does something, his/her actions/behaviour are purposefully affecting other people's actions/ attitudes/ situations; this effect can be viewed as positive for the Agent and negative for the Dative (an action of someone against others) or positive for both participants (an action intended as aid or collaboration)".

Met CONTROLLER FOR CONTROLLED

BM: A leader in charge acts and reacts individually, but he/she represents a nation. In this Met, a leader is attributed states, actions, situations, damages, advantages, and so on, which are actually related to the nation he/she represents. BM: [+ people] [+ social entity]. TABLE 4.8: Met: CONTROLLER FOR CONTROLLED - AMERICAN ENGLISH

IMPLICIT-INTENTION: The focus of this discourse is on the people involved. The meaningful process this metonymy conveys is that of attributing the action/ states relative to the nation or an institution to the people who are in charge or who represent it. In many cases, as in irony, what is said seems to be the opposite (e.g., Saddam defeated: he did not actually fought in the Gulf War. The army of a country was defeated; the nation's leader was neither injured nor killed, but a number of soldiers were).

Met THE WHOLE FOR THE PART

61 TM: A nation is a social entity. This is not equivalent to saying that individuals within the social body lack a personal political position, similar or not to that of his/her fellows or to that of his/her leader. It is in this sense that the speaker -in this case an influential political leader (Kissinger)- refers to social entities (the Americans, the world, the nation, etc.) as if they were individual persons with a single political position/ decision. The proposed BM is then: a reference to a social entity must be re-read as a reference to either its leader or to part of it (a group, the majority, etc.): BM: [+ social entity] [+ personal/ partial decision/ position].

IMPLICIT-INTENTION: The focus of the discourse in this case is on the institution involved. The actions/ states relative to the people who are in charge or who represent it are attributed to the nation or to an institution. In many cases what is conveyed is logically and/or statistically impossible: the entities We/ the Americans/ nation/ the world imply a great deal of people having exactly the same opinion about an event.

DISCUSSION
First, the political texts analysed above reveal a greater pervasiness of metaphorical conceptualizations when compared to those of the previous Sections. Second, as in Section 3, the most frequent Met is THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE. The American English discourse shows a greater use of different metomymies than the Chilean English. This difference may be explained by the examination of each speaker's intentions in writing. The data also show that while the CMs which appear in this Section are more or less neutral in the sense of expressing non-concrete phenomena in concrete terms, the metonymies involved in these political texts show a tendency towards an inexact description of reality; in other words, the metaphorical process seems to serve the purpose of deceiving. Political and economic ideologies are framed in metaphorical terms. Like all other metaphors, political and economic metaphors can hide aspects of reality. But in the area of politics and economics, metaphors matter more, because they constrain our lives. A metaphor in a political or economic system, by virtue of what it hides, can lead to human degradation. (Lakoff and Johnson 1980: 236) As well as in the case of the folk theory derived from the CM LOVE IS A PHYSICAL FORCE (Chapter 2, p. 24), in politics the dehumanization issue is crucial: it means anything that can damage people in physical, emotional, and/or intellectual terms. By using the Mets THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE, THE WHOLE FOR THE PART, OBJECT USED FOR USER, CONTROLLER FOR CONTROLLED, more that hiding is involved. These are descriptions of realities which are directly contrary to reality. When the authors of the articles write Hussein

62 defeated, the world stands impotently, Estados Unidos ha asumido el rol de gendarme, they convey non-existing events. These 'semantic violations' are of different degree: in the first case, when someone says that Hussein has been defeated he/she refers not only to the fact that Hussein is the leader of a nation, but also to the idea the author has of Hussein as the basic aim of the war; it is not the nation that matters, but its leader. This is not the case of the American nation; only a political enemy could say that Bush, not The United States, has won the war. It is plausible that the author would say that this is just an economical way of referring to these matters. In the second case, the author, refusing to use an expression such as "in general", "the majority of...", etc., which could be just 'statistically' inaccurate, explicitly conveys an unreal statement, in order to project a desired political image; in the third case, the statement is in fact so full of ideological entailments that it requires a rather long discussion: it implies the notion of government leaders acting as a unity, representing the position of an entire nation as if it were a compact body, the idea of a natural right to declare a particular nation the ruler over the rest, and so on. The concept of dehumanization concerns ordinary people, citizens who are 'handled', 'lied to', 'sacrificed'. Social relations appear to be, to a large extent, involved in metonymical conceptualizations which seem to be not as inescapable as the metaphorical ones found in the three former analysed areas.

4. Summary of Results
1. 2. We have found that Conceptual Metaphors pervade the four cultural areas under research; therefore, they are basic constituents of cognitive processes, discourse organization and human understanding. CMs and Mets are basic conceptualizations; they cannot be paraphrased. Through the Implicit-intention analysis, we have found that in many cases CMs and Mets overlap, that is to say, they explain themselves circularly, by means of other CMs and Mets. This fact rejects the dicotomy between literal and non-literal meaning: due to the high frequency of 'non-literal' instantiations we cannot continue clasifying meaning as we have been doing so far. Differences between the two languages, though they exist, are only relevant in terms of the frequency of different Conceptual Metaphors or Metonymies; they reveal predictable specific inherent peculiarities of each culture. Conceptual differences between sex groups, although detected, were not accounted for since they are not significant in the same terms as differences between languages, frequency related to specific relevance. In-depth analyses of differences related to sex and culturally specific conceptions and approaches to the analysed areas would require further and much more specific studies than the one attempted here. Along with the verification of the pervasiness of metaphorical conceptualizations, we have come across another interesting aspect: the areas of love and death are equally important in terms of CMs: LIFE IS A JOURNEY/ LOVE IS A JOURNEY, PEOPLE ARE CONTAINERS OF STATES, and EVENTS ARE OBJECTS/ CONTAINERS. This can also be observed in the areas of economics and politics, whereas the following Metonymy prevails: THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE. The latter finding led to the conclusion that the four conceptual areas analysed can be conflated under two macrometaphors, namely, the Event Structure Metaphor (which entails the CMs EVENTS ARE OBJECTS/ CONTAINERS and LIFE IS A JOURNEY/ LOVE IS A JOURNEY) and the Met THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE. In effect, it was found that they act as conceptual superstructures of the metaphorical processes seen at work in all the researched domains, and consequently, they appear to be the underlying semantic macroconstituents of the discourses involving the topics of love, death, economics, and politics.

5. General Discussion
We will examine the macrometaphors found in our analysis with some detail, and end up by discussing the relevance of metaphor and Lakoff and Johnson's theory to linguistics.

THE EVENT-STRUCTURE METAPHOR

The current analysis coincides with Lakoff's proposal (1992) concerning the Event Structure Metaphor: various aspects of event structure, including notions like states, changes, processes, actions, causes, purposes, and means, are cognitively characterized via metaphor in terms of space, motion, and force (p. 31). This general metaphor is organized in hierarchical structures, in which 'lower' mappings in the hierarchy (LOVE IS A JOURNEY) inherit the structures of 'higher' mappings (LIFE IS A JOURNEY), as Lakoff aptly puts it, In our culture, life is assumed to be purposeful, that is, we are expected to have goals in life. In the Event Structure Metaphor, purposes are destinations and purposeful action is self-propelled motion toward a destination. A purposeful life is a longterm activity, and hence a journey. Goals in life are destinations on the journey. The actions one takes in life are self-propelled movements, and the totality of one's actions form a path to a destination... One's expected progress through life is charted in terms of a life schedule, which is conceptualized as a virtual traveler that one is expected to keep up with. ... the metaphor A PURPOSEFUL LIFE IS A JOURNEY makes use of all the structure of the Event Structure Metaphor, since events in a life conceptualized as purposeful are subcases of events in general. (p. 38) ...events in a love relationship are special cases of life events. Thus, the LOVE IS A JOURNEY metaphor inherits the structure of the LIFE IS A JOURNEY metaphor. What is special about the LOVE IS A JOURNEY metaphor, is that there are two lovers, who are travelers, and that the love relationship is a vehicle. The rest of the mapping is a consequence of inheriting the LIFE IS A JOURNEY metaphor. Because the lovers are in the same vehicle, they have common destinations, that is, common life goals. Relationship difficulties are impediments to travel. (p. 39) A metaphor higher up in the hierarchy, such as the Event Structure metaphor, is more widely spread than those at lower levels. In fact, it should be a universal phenomenon since all human beings experience and refer to events. Lower CMs, like LIFE IS A JOURNEY and LOVE IS A JOURNEY, are more culturally restricted. However, we have

64 seen that these lower CMs pervade the two western languages under analysis. The universality of the Event Structure Metaphor could only be tested in relation to utterly different cultures. In addition, CMs like LIFE IS A JOURNEY, LOVE IS A JOURNEY, ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS A RACE, etc., share the common conceptualization of defining TIME in physical-spatial terms: periods of time are stretches of land, sequence in time is movement, moments and events are places, past and future are directions, time is even conceived of as a surface or as a moving object. This conceptualization is essential since most aspects of our lives (life itself, actually) are partially or totally defined in terms of time (i.e., what we believe that time is). Now, why is this CM the one selected to define time? Probably because our physical experience in terms of place is our most basic experience, and our concepts of movement, orientation, distance, existence, and others spring from this experience. Another reason may be found in that TIME and PLACE are closely related concepts since it is on the bases of both that we attribute existence to people and objects. However, we know that TIME, at least in our occidental culture, is also defined in terms of another widely spread CM, namely, TIME IS MONEY. The difference between the two conceptualizations is the apparent basicness of TIME IS PLACE. As shown by Lakoff and Johnson, TIME IS MONEY is a culturally based CM: its existence is intimately related to the socio-economic system in which we act; if this cultural factor changes, so would this CM. TIME IS PLACE, on the other hand, defines our concept of time in more elementary terms since it is previous to any other conceptualization. Another important finding is that the Event Structure Metaphor proved also to be relevant in the conceptualization of what discourse is in itself: since a discourse is perceived as having a continuity in time and time is mainly understood as movement, DISCOURSE IS A JOURNEY is the CM that structures our conception of discourse. This is useful to understand how we structure what we are saying in a discourse and throws light on the meaning of sequential discursive markers like "now", "then", "next", and "finally", among others. We have pointed out that our spatial experience is a basic one, but a different thing is to claim, as we have done through this study, that places are clearly shaped and defined concrete entities. The question is: are places (concrete) entities? Our answer is twofold: for methodological purposes in this analysis, they are basically concrete entities; we assume that we experience no trouble in recognizing a stretch of territory, a country, a town, a house, etc.. Strictly speaking, nevertheless, we must recognize that in many instances places are not as concrete and well-defined as other entities ( like balls, boxes, tables, houses, planes, etc.). In fact, we generally attribute shapes and boundaries to tracts of land on completely arbitrary conventions, without any overt boundary indicating physical separation. For example, a pencil ends clearly where no more of it is perceived through our senses; on the contrary, the exact division between Chile and Argentina is in most cases a matter of "abstraction"; additionally, we must recognize that the only "shape" that we can attribute to a country is the one we find on a map. This answer may seem contradictory: if we know that the very concept of place is a metaphorization of some type involving the entification of what is not an entity, why do we treat it as an object in our analysis? The issue at stake here is that of the difference between a physical and a basic experience. Perceiving a tree as a concrete entity is probably easier than perceiving Nepal as such a type of entity because the former is a concrete object proper and the latter is a conceptually "concretized" entity. However, in our daily lives we feel that going from one place to another is an action as natural as eating food, watching television, or throwing a ball. The point is that CMs are, by definition, related to basic experiences, like OBJECTS and PLACES, regardless of their physical nature. It follows from the previous discussion that our most common mental categories -TIME, STATE, CHANGE, CAUSATION, ACTION, PURPOSE and MEANS- are conceptualized via metaphor. The fact that such categories constitute core notions of our conceptual systems, shows that metaphor is central to ordinary abstract thought (Lakoff 1992: 36).

THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE

Concerning the discourse of economics, the metonymic conceptualization THE INSTITUTION FOR THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE serves to relate abstract institutions to other collective entities, such as 'the people' and 'public opinion'; otherwise, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to articulate discourse in this area. In the discourse of politics, on the contrary, we have already seen that metonymies are not inescapable phenomena like the CMs STATES/ EVENTS ARE OBJECTS; in fact, they convey 'economical' ways of referring to political matters, which can perfectly be paraphrased. Their existence, however, allows for a number of processes which can have political significance, as discussed in Section 4. These two types of discourse are not as primary as those that are built on topics dealing with love and death. All the same, they are of great significance in contemporary western society and in everyday interaction. Despite this significance, the concepts they involve cannot be defined in simple terms. In fact, there is no agreement, even among specialists in these fields, as to what expressions such as "the people", "public opinion", "socially positive", and "common good" mean.

65 Let us examine two instantiations in each language: The United States should move/ implement... measures United States [does not want] to dominate/ [is not] able to dominate Estados Unidos ha asumido el rol de gendarme Occidente se arrepiente de haber armado al "monstruo". In the first two cases, the writer's attitude towards the political action of the entity United States is that of support and justification, whereas in the remaining ones the writer's attitude is that of criticism. However, both use the same cross-domain mapping: UNITED STATES PERSON LEADER [- concrete] [+ concrete] [+ human] [+ abstract entity] [+ animate] [+ nation's representative] [+ nation] [+ human] [+ performer of social actions/ decisions] Both writers agree in the personification process this metonymy conveys. It is only within this conceptualization that the Chilean Spanish writer can criticize the leader's actions and decisions. The writer assumes that the metonymical conception corresponds only to a nation, but that it cannot be further generalized, i.e., the United States is not the world's leader (it has the feature [- world's representative]); consequently, it does not have the right to be its guard or decide which nation should have weapons and which should not. Political analysis, as a rule, attempts to disentangle ideological and biased opinions that overlap with the discursive 'straight', objective structure, presupposing that any political idea is subjective and is intended to be for or against something or someone. Geis (1987) analyses political discourse in news magazines from the viewpoint of considering it biased discourse. This bias conditions the choice of lexical items to ascertain an emotional or expressive effect on the reader, together with "not essentially linguistic" features, such as "the overall impression of a sentence, paragraph, or story" (p. 122). For Seidell (1987) "the theory and practice of politics and political talk is primarily concerned with power" (p. 44), and political discourse analysis also focuses on the ideological meaning in text, which "serves to sustain relations of domination" (p. 44). However, Seidell states that 'discursive process' forms a 'matrix of meaning' in which metonymy -together with substitution, paraphrase, and synonymy- plays an important part (p. 47). As concerns this last assertion, our analysis was not focused on ideological, biased political discourse, but on underlying conceptualizations that demonstrate that political discourse can be examined without the researcher being politically involved, and that conceptual generalizations can be achieved. The role that metaphors play in political discourse has been only recently acknowledged. Postman (1985) refers to the incidence of implicit and complex metaphorical conceptualizations with respect to political discourse in the United States and mass communication. He takes the Mac-Luhan's (1964) formula "The medium is the message" (i.e., a culture must be examined through its discursive instruments, because "any technology gradually creates a totally new human environment" (p. vi), which is an active process of change of perception) and proposes instead a new formula, "The medium is the metaphor": the technological nature of the instruments we use to know and communicate actually determines our conceptualizations, our knowledge, and therefore our language. This is very close to CM theory. Postman states that nowadays, in the United States, "political discourse is show business", that is, the former domain is structured by the latter, with the corresponding conceptual, cultural and mainly social consequences (Postman 1985: 1318). Following this argument, we may ask: What is our political discourse based on? Which is the metaphor we, in this nation, are using? By means of this approach, a connection of a specific area, such as politics, with wider areas of inquiry can be made.

THE RELEVANCE OF METAPHOR IN LINGUISTICS

The place metaphor has been assigned in linguistics is directly connected to the conceptual bases of this discipline as a science. The relation of a cognitive semantic approach, such as the theory of conceptual metaphor, to linguistic research, is a crucial aspect of the current discussion, since CMs allow generalizing over the linguistic constituents to be found in discourses related to specific domains. According to Lakoff and Johnson (1980), scientific Objectivism structures our understanding of the world we live in, ruling over the realms of science, law, government, journalism, morality, business, economics, and scholarship. The empirical position that made scientific and technological advances possible are underlined by the following conceptions: man is separated from the world and is its master; the world itself is there to be used by man, the land to be cultivated, animals to be eaten, trees to be made into timber, etc. Following this scientific trend, structural linguistics -from Saussure, a scholar "regarded... as having for the first time placed Linguistics upon a scientific basis" (Ogden and Richards 1923: 37), to Chomsky- has led language studies to basically delimit their field of inquiry to phonology and grammatical structure (which allow exhaustive observable empirical recollections of data) and has assigned the semantic and pragmatic aspects of language a marginal status.

66 Structural linguistics considers its object of study as basically physical particles (sounds); this allows linguistics to place itself at the head of the social sciences in methodological and empirical results, because of its early discovery of an object (i.e., Saussure's langue, that can be treated as an objective, systematic phenomenon) and of its specific methodology, degrees of objectivity which the rest of the social sciences have been unable to achieve. According to Lvy-Strauss (1958), language is the social phenomenon which exhibits more clearly the two basic characteristics which allow for scientific research: first, it constitutes an object which is independent from the observer; second, language provides the scientist with considerable amounts of statistic data, extensive enough to make mathematical analysis possible (pp. 52-3). However, structural linguists are worried about the orientation their science has taken. Due to the limited scope of their investigations, they have lost contact with the other human sciences; they work with abstract notions their colleagues cannot comprehend any longer. The linguistic object seems not to be related to the field of culture, to social life, to History, and to linguists themselves, as men who speak. Lvy-Strauss (1958) thinks that structural linguistics, being driven by its method, is losing the concrete apprehension of phenomena that human sciences have. Furthermore, descriptive structuralism, as Chomsky himself points out, appeared to dwarf and scoff at the 'metaphysical' and 'airy pronouncements' of universal grammar and those who were attempting to deal with a much wider range of problems (in Allen and Van Buren 1971: 4). ... many linguists, though not all, would hold that universal grammar was misguided in principle in its attempt to provide explanations rather than mere description of usage, the latter being all that can be contemplated by the 'sober scientist'. (p. 2) There is particular irony in the fact that this criticism should be advanced with the avowed intention of making linguistics 'scientific'. It is hardly open to question that the natural sciences are concerned precisely with the problem of explaining phenomena, and have little use for accurate description that is unrelated to problems of explanation. (p. 3) Widdowson (1984) states that "when linguists proclaimed that language was really structure and language was really speech, we created a monstrous hybrid: the oral structural approach" (p. 17). The model of an abstract system and the descriptive methods the structural linguist devises must conform to scientific principles. Accordingly, Black (in Haussman 1989) says that there is a general assumption that "the world is necessarily a world under a certain description -or a world seen from a certain perspective" (p. 37) Within this framework, the issue of meaning is similar to what we have seen about metaphor: it is a marginal area, already unsatisfactorily undertaken. Furthermore, it conveys problems that go far beyond simple conclusions. The current situation, as Lakoff (1992) puts it, is that generative semantics and Chomsky's Government and Binding theory assume that semantics is to be represented in terms of logical form; the philosophy of language assumes that conceptual systems are purely historically contingent, that there are no conceptual universals, observing that conceptual systems change through time; European philosophy makes a distinction between the study of the physical world, which can be scientific, and the study of human beings, which cannot be scientific; the fields of symbolic artificial intelligence and information processing psychology assume that thought is a matter of algorithmic symbol manipulation, of the sort done by a traditional computer program (p. 83). There is no linear development of linguistic research from structuralism to semantics. Instead, they seem to be, by their nature, at odds with one another. From a scientific perspective, there can be "no tolerance for vague notions, imprecision, and ambiguity" (Widdowson 1984: 9). A descriptive model represents underlying knowledge that users of language are generally unaware of, and can only realize as communicative behaviour. And communicative behaviour is vague, imprecise, and ambiguous. This is because it draws on resources for meaning in the language which cannot always be reduced to linguistic rules since they just have not been encoded as such in the language system, and because language behaviour has to be imprecise if it is to function effectively as communicative interaction. (p. 9) It is at this point that Ogden and Richards' principles of function and language should be, in our opinion, reexamined: they state that the attempt to generalize from the exceptional cases in which symbols and referents correspond (i.e., logical, scientific language), to a necessity for such correspondences in all communication is invalid, because such a correspondence may give to scientific symbol systems a great deal of scope and accuracy, and render them manageable to deductive processes; but it can only be imposed when limited to the simplest and most schematic features. Ordinary language, as a rule, dispenses with [correspondence], losing in accuracy but gaining in plasticity, facility, and convenience. Nor is the loss so great as is sometimes supposed, for by straining language we are able to make and communicate references succesfully, in spite of the misleading character of our symbols if taken literally. (1923: 255) However, language function cannot be taken into account separately from synchronic semantics. All linguists agree with this assertion, but no one turns it into practice, because we are trapped by the analytic nature of science. Our whole outlook on life, our behaviour, our character, are profoundly influenced by the use we are able to make of [language], our chief means of contact with reality. ... How many grammarians still

67 regard their science as holding the keys of knowledge? It has become for them too often merely a technical exercise of strictly limited scope, instead of the inspiring study of the means by which truth is acquired and preserved. (pp. 261-2) A linguistic symbol is a web of active, changing, and imprecise meanings that the users of a language can handle with no difficulty. This is the actual linguistic competence. But a descriptive, analytical approach cannot cope with concurrent meanings: it has to work disjunctively, and this is part of our linear metaphorical conceptualization of scientific analysis. Analysis, in its very nature, means separation: the man's necessity to separate things, first from himself, and then in their structure, in order to apprehend them; to possess things by his knowledge. Functionalists have been no exception to this rule, by considering the social domain the source and the goal of meaning, which can be interpreted as function indistinctively. Halliday (1985) explains language simply (and erratically) as the natural link of the "whole" system of meaning (social and cultural) to "syntagms", formal grammatical items and sequences. He states that a discourse analysis must be based on grammar, in order to make explicit the speaker's interpretation of the meaning of a text. Halliday's final assertion is that what makes it possible for language to be what it is in the process of cognition is the textual function, which allows language to have "texture", i.e., to be a text (1967). It becomes evident that the simple explanation of the ideational function of language in logical and grammatical terms has led Halliday to interpret the remaining functions, which he consider more important, in the same fashion, thus postulating again structuralist principles, the same old "false assumptions" (Lakoff 1992: 67). The root of the problem is to understand language by means of its functions, which can be social, postponing a deeper research of its essence, which is necessarily conceptual. From a cognitive point of view, we must look for the conceptual principles on which language is based, through investigating discourse, the mayor linguistic unit, in its semantic structure. Thus, metaphor comes into view when examining all these issues: conceptualization; objective, true, literal meaning, and the functions of language. An expression or statement may be interpreted metaphorically not when it shows falsity or incoherence but, instead, when it shows "the banality of that [literal] reading's truth, its pointlessness, or its lack of congruence with the surrounding text and non-verbal setting " (Black, in Haussman 1989: 35). Furthermore, to "take a metaphor... 'literally' is to overlook the fact that a symbol... is not occurring in its original use" (Ogden and Richards 1923: 255). Metaphor and ambiguity are central features of language use. Natural language, through its necessity to adapt to changing communicative processes, not only "allows" for metaphor; it is metaphor and ambiguity which allow language to function effectively. But metaphors cannot be reduced to rule because once they are, they cease to be metaphors and become incorporated into the semantic system. The point about metaphors is that they depend on a disparity between the established rules of the code and the extempore exploitation on... potential resources for meaning which are not reduced to rule. ... The essence of metaphor is that it represents ambiguity which can be reconciled with effective communication but which cannot be resolved by analysis. (Widdowson 1984: 13) Communication is much more than the sum of its parts. Users of language do not find any problem in understanding expressions such as he was a real bastard, or l vive colgado de las faldas de su mam, since they live by a whole semantic system, in which all the levels of meaning function at the same time. However, these three levels of meaning are hierarchically constituted, according to their experiential level, from basic concrete, physical, and spatial to interpersonal or situational. This hierarchy depends on the faculty of a semantic feature to be entirely downplayed. Is the basic meaning of journey completely removed when used to refer to events? The answer seems to be no; in any transaction both participants keep their inherent qualities. As we have seen, our conceptual system is metaphorically grounded. Every experience involves cultural presupositions, and there is no direct physical experience of the world. When we live by conceptual metaphors as we do in our culture, we tend not to see them as metaphors at all. It is the grounding in experience that shows how basic metaphors are in our societies. They form constitute an environment as essential as conceptualization itself. Part of what makes the theory of Conceptual Metaphor so interesting is that the evidence for it contradicts and challenges most basic academic principles: "...if the results of the [CM theory] are accepted, then the defining assumptions of whole disciplines are brought into question" (Lakoff 1992: 84).

6. Conclusion
The inherent importance of the theory of Conceptual Metaphor has been, we hope, extensively demonstrated in this study, where we attempt to provide the basis for further in-depth inquiries on metaphorical conceptualizations in cultural areas. A metaphor fixes a concept in our minds in such a way that we cannot think about one thing without referring to another. Our culture is constituted by metaphor-media, which generate our notions of the world. It is in this sense that it is crucial to carefully examine our discourse in different cultural domains and in the issues and concepts we take for granted or consider plainly natural. We do not see nature, intelligence, or human or ideological motivation as they are, but as our language is. Our media are our metaphors; they create the content of our culture. The theory of Conceptual Metaphor is an attempt to establish not only the dependence of language on cognition but also the cultural, ontological, and social significance of metaphor. It is the main mechanism through which we comprehend abstract concepts and perform abstract reasoning; much subject matter, from the most mundane to the most abstruse scientific theories, can only be comprehended via metaphor. The ultimate paradox is that cognition is our conceptual instrument, that is to say, our metaphor. Our last contention is that a greater effort should be made in order to build a comprehensive approach -a basic cognitive commitment- based on the functional views of Ogden and Richards (1923), Widdowson (1984), and Lakoff and Johnson's theory of Conceptual Metaphor (1980; Lakoff 1992), together with Postman's social theory of communication (1985), so that they be ultimately recognized as a single approach to human understanding, language, and social development.

SECTION 1: TOPIC: LOVE - MODE: ORAL

INTERVIEW ITEMS 1. a) What does love mean to you? Can you define/explain it? b) What type of relationship love is? 2. Tell me about your first love experience, or the most important. Tell me the whole story, from the beginning. 3. Do you think love relationships should be long-lasting? Why? 4. How important is love in your life at present? 5. Tell me some of your dreams or fantasies about love. 6. a) What do you think of rendering your life for your beloved? b) what do you think of committing suicide for love? 7. Can you give your opinion about other people's love relationship? 8. What is your position concerning infidelity? 9. What is your opinion about this article?
Let's say I see a woman and she looks really pretty, and really clean and sexy, and she's giving off very feminine, sexy vibes. I think,"Wow, I'd like to make love to her," but I know she's not really interested. It's a tease. A lot of times a woman knows that she's looking really good and she'll use that flaunted, and it makes feel like she's laughing at me and I feel degraded... dehumanized... . If I go with my human emotions i'm going to want to put my arms around her and kiss her and to do what would be unacceptable. I don't like the feeling that I'm suppossed to stand there and take it, and not be able to hug her or kiss her; so I just turn off my emotions. It's a feeling of humiliation... . If I were actually desperate enough to rape somebody would be from wanting the person but also it would be a very spiteful thing... . I feel that they have power over me just by their presence, just the fact that they can come up to me and just melt me make feel like a dummy makes want revenge. They have power over me so I want power over them...

10. After all you have said, could you now define love again? 1. AMERICAN ENGLISH FEMALE Subject 1 Q1: For me, there's two types of love, there's when you fall in love and when you are in love and when you love somebody. When you are in love, it's love about lust, and when you love somebody, is like a friend or a mother or a father. Love to a man is essentially... lust. I've been in love three times, but I'm not sure that it was love. Well, you need trust, obviously, I don't know; sometimes I think it's more like a feeling than anything; you just know when you love somebody... of course... love for your parents; you have to love your parents, I don't know, it's difficult. Physical and sexual attraction just gets mixed into it, I mean, if you love somebody, love him, OK, and then there is love and then if you are attracted to the other person then it's one type of love, and then, I mean, I'm not attracted to my parents, obviously, so I... but I love my parents. Q2: I wouldn't say love, but it was basically my first long-term relationship. He was the best friend of my friend, and we just started dating and we were together for seven months or something like that. He was a real lunatic, he had a lot of problems, an it was a really bad relationship. I was looking for a long time, and he really broke me down, and I dropped all my friends, I was only with him. The typical thing that you see when you come here: it's really bad, but everybody drops all their friends when they start dating somebody here. Anyway, it as a really... I don't know if you really want to know everything, but he... when I broke up with him, basically, he was a real asshole, he decided to break into my car and... the seat of my car, and he really did a lot of damage to my car. This is just a little idea of the guy I was dating with. Of course, I thought I was in love when I was dating with him, when I was with him, but when I broke it off, you realized that you're not in love. There's the end of the story. And then... the other important relationship... I was... in this house... and I was really scared because the neighbors were selling drugs and they kept coming round, molesting and so I needed a man in the house; so, as a joke, I asked a friend if he knew any tall, broad, handsome man to come round to open the front door, and about three days later, two German blokes turned up at the door... really tall and broad, and so they needed a place to live, and they have been sent round to open the door, and there was one of them who was really tall and really broad and he did speak bad English, and so I took him... and a couple of weeks later, I was like, I fell in love with him and then I fell so much in love with him that I ended up going to Germany, when he left. He left a year later... I went to Germany as well and it continued the whole sad story. But he was a complete bastard. Q3: If you can't find... if you don't find the person that you feel you can spend the rest of your life with, which is a big thing; I mean, it's not a small thing to find someone, to feel that you can spend the rest of your life with and think that if I find that person then that's great, I mean... but if I don't, what do I do? Am I going to get married to someone I don't feel like spending the rest of my life with? And you can feel out of love very easy as well. I've seen a lot of cases when people get married and they've been married for ten or fifteen years and it just, it's just gone, not the love but the sparks and the want to be together; that's why it's so difficult to say that I'm going to find somebody that I'm going to spend the rest of my life with, it's a ..., it's a big decision. And then it depends... if you think, if you consider marriage is like an institution, like... it doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to stay with a person forever, I mean, now... nowadays there's so many divorces or, in this country, anulled marriages or whatever. Nowadays, it's really difficult to say, like, "you're going to stay with a person for the rest of your life", because you don't know what is going to happen. Like, for women, for me, it's like, I know I can look after myself and even if I had children I could bring them up without a man, it

73 would be quite easy and I have friends that can help me. I'm going to try to get married for three years and see what is like. Sometimes it's just like... as soon as they get married they stop, the relationship breaks up, it seems like... to have children... have a baby... Q4: Love is really important, but at the same time, it's not forever. I think, you're in love with a person for a certain length of time till you get really bored of him or till they are complete assholes, I don't know; I mean, maybe if you got kids, is a bit different, I don't know, I don't. I don't think it lasts forever; I mean, it's important, it's an important part of people's lives, so is of my life; but no, it's not the most important part to me; there's other things I got to do and see, other things. Nobody can live without love, but it's not the most important, and if I happened to find somebody that I think I can spend the rest of my life with... I mean that's great, but if not... I'm not after or looking for; he's got to find me... no, but yes; it's impossible to live without love, it's obvious, but certainly the most important thing for me; I consider myself a fairly independent person, an independent woman, and it doesn't mean that I don't need love, but I can live without... not that I want to be single for the rest of my life, but if I am, then, that's life, and that's it. Q5: It's about a bloke I used to go out with for years, and I was in love and he was German and he... when I finished with him, he started going out with this really beautiful horrible bitch who used to be a friend of mine and I had this dream that really frightened me, because I was really violent in the dream, because... I was in bed with him and she was in the bed with me as well and I just kept scratching her eyes out and I kept like really hurting her and I was... and every time I realized it wasn't doing anything, because he still loved her and... so when I woke up it was really terrible because I knew I had such aggression against this woman and so had against him. Q6: Commiting suicide? I mean, it depends, in what way? If you take risks... but if it is just killing yourself, I think it's really silly, because it's putting pressure on someone that still loves you or something like that, you know, you go to someone and "Oh! I've got to kill myself! Don't leave me! Don't leave me!" and it's really just putting pressure, something's going to happen anyway so there's no point in trying to kill yourself because you won't save it, you won't change the situation, because there's always the hope that you find somebody new and better. You're still a person and every person has to put themselves first, because you have to survive, like, if you have children or something, you've got to look after them, you can't be willing to killing yourself, you've got other things. You can be in love with someone, you can fall madly in love with someone and totally be... with him, when they leave, you can vomit, you can be sick, you can be ill for three months and you can feel really shit for so long but after... . But you're going to lose him anyway, I mean, you love somebody, you kill yourself, you're not going to gain him, you're not going to get antything. It's really like, ludicrous. Life is not love and... well, that's life, but you always find somebody else, I mean, it's not going to be the same person, life will always get better and when you're in the bottom you can only go up so there's no way. What do you get out of it? You don't get anything, you die. You just lose your life, you lose everybody around that's going to feel like shit. Q7: My parents are still in love and they have been in love for twenty nine years, and my dad is a big fat horrible peasant and I've never really understood... my mother loved him, because he's not very clever, my mom's really intelligent, she seems to do much of the work, but mama says: "You don't understand, I love your father, he does things that you don't!..." and I know that they still have sexual relationships, so I can't imagine how they do it because he's so fat and horrible but, I mean, you know, they have a really nice relationship and I... really don't like my dad that much, he doesn't really like me either. Horrible. My mom is in love with him and she's like really dependent on the love of my father. I mean... he's like a companion to her. She's in love with him. He's a companion to her in certain ways that other people aren't, he's given her support in other ways... because she needs love. Q8: If I feel in love with somebody, if I want to be with somebody, I'm going to have that person sooner or later, but, no... I mean, in this society it's, well, I don't know about here, but there, I mean, it's changing still... I mean, the men used to... the women always accepted that and... the reason is, the reason is that the man used to take the initiative but I'm not like that at all; I mean, if the man makes the first move, I can think about it, but I feel I want to make that first move, then I'm going to do it. If I really really really fancy them; really really really crazy about them, then I'm going to spend ages with them, talking to them and, I mean, if eventually something happens, it's usually got to be them. Well, it's usually them, I mean, it's always happened like that, I mean, if they don't like me at first then I'm going to make sure they do. Q9: Well, I think that man are actually scared, there's one theory about man, it says: when they enter a woman they are being possessed by a woman and I think that it's just that men are being scared but to use that as an excuse to rape people or any excuse, the way women dress; it's absolutely disgusting, and it shows how stupid and absolutely pathetic men are. That's men's problem. It's nothing to do with us... the way the woman is dressing is... is this the whole thing? When a woman's raped and she's wearing a short skirt, she deserved it, is that the whole idea? No, I think it's total bullshit that a way a woman dresses is an excuse for a guy saying "Oh, yeah, she walked in a certain way, she was calling me, she wanted it". That's absolute bullshit, and when people, women, men, it doesn't matter... they have certain air about them, they're walking in the street and if a woman thinks that she was looking fine and she's going to walk, she's going to hold her head up, she's going to walk in a certain way and sure, she's going to show it and that doesn't

74 mean that any guy can come up and say "Well, .listen, yeah, she thinks she's beautiful, that means she wants me". The only reason she's walking that way... she's walking that way and the reasons why she's dressing that way, she's dressing that way for herself, not for a man. And that doesn't give them any right to violate women just because they say that "Damn, this girl is fine and she was walking down the street and she just hanged me by the neck". That doesn't give them any right to say "OK, that means... this power, that she's got this hold on me, then I can, all of a sudden..." He says that he can't help himself; he's got a sexual problem. But it's a two-way street, it's a fifty-fifty thing. He can go and exert [his power] with someone who wants to exert it with him, buy a plastic doll, go to the bathroom and have fun for a while, it's a natural fact of life, people do it. Q10: You don't really know what it is. For me, to be in love is different from loving, love. Because I love my parents, I love my friends but in a different way as in a sexual relationship. But to be in love is always like the first part, for me, of being in love... . You've got to know someone for a long time, you're not sure if that's dependence and then you keep waiting for the, to be in love, for the excitement, but it might be just lust. I mean, I'm not sure it's just lust and the rest is just like friendship, companionship and all the rest and you don't know. Romantic love, I think that you need a good base of a friendship, of a good frindship relationship, it's like, there's friendship and then there's love and if you put them together then I would say it's the perfect love. But if there's love, then it's just lust, and then there's, you want this guy and you want him, that's not love love, everybody has gone through that lust period, I'm sure. My parents, God only knows how they've been together in love for twenty five years and I'd love to know how, so if you guys have the answer... Subject 2 Q1: It's a feeling you can't understand sometimes, that's why you know it's love, it's just something there that exists, you don't know what it is, you can't say that it's a... it's love or it's lust, I mean, love, you want to be with a person but, I mean, you can love a thing too. When you have a boy friend and you're in love with him, you are obviously attracted to him; that's given, but you can have love for a friend. To be in love is definitely with a guy. To love your parents is different than to be in love, definitely. I think that it's difficult to be in love if you've never really experienced it before, because you just have this idea of what you want, but you don't know what it is, because... I've never really really felt it, I mean, like I haven't felt it, I don't know that but, I don't know. For me, it changes. The person I love or whatever, I mean, it may be the same type of feeling, but I know that I'm not in love with him. Q2: It wasn't love, because it didn't start out being that way. This guy, I met him at college; he was a senior, he was last year when I was my first year. We just hanged out a lot of time, a lot; we had the same friends, and just ended up doing a lot of things together... We spent a year together, we were at the same college, and it was really cool, we had lots of fun, and... and it was a companionship, but you know, a boyfriend-girlfriend type of situation, and that's what happened, and then... so we just hanged on, had a good time, and... and ended because he went away to another town for a graduate school, and he couldn't handle the distance, because we were at two different schools; it was like three hours apart, and he couldn't handle the distance; for him it was a problem, he was... everyday, talking to me everyday, and to me it was fine, because the person I am... I get sick of a person if they are around me twenty hours a day... so I thought it was a good, excellent relationship, I could actually see him but see somebody else too, you know, but not have them get possessed or anything like that, and so, he initiated the break-up, whatever, and I told him, I go, "if you want to be friends...", because we were good friends in the beginning, and I told him, it's up to him if he wants still be friends, he has to make the first move, because I know, in a lot of situations, my fiends... I know they say they want to be friends, but it doesn't work out, you know; it's not meant to be, whatever. But in our case, it worked out, because he stills talks to me and I write to him, I mean, so we are good friends still, but, I mean, he's there, I'm here, but it wasn't love, it was just, it was more a companionship, and I... from the beginning, because I just, I mean, I don't know, for me. I just have to find somebody... people that aren't really... people who are for me; then I know what I don't like in a person and then I can tell it will work out, the companionship, the friendship; it's not there, but we were so, friends, that was cool. Q3: I'm not planning to get married. Now, some of my friends, they want to, they really want to, they don't know with whom yet, but they want to get married, have a family and everything. For me, that life style, if it doesn't happen, I'll be satisfied. It's a different way of thinking, because my friends are like "you are weird, delicate, you have something wrong with your head", because they don't think that way, they don't understand that. I have no clue about men; I can't say how they feel. But, I mean, I think that the whole idea of marriage is that you want to be with somebody, you care because... it's not because you don't have to, but, because you need a companion, I mean, you just want to live your lives together and saying that you're going to commit each other, each one to your, you know -I can't speak English anymore!- I mean, you're going to commit, you know, legally, say: "Yes, I'm going to spend my life with you and not with someone else." In Europe a lot of people live together for five or six years before they get married. Q4: Love is important in my life, yes, I feel without love, I can't feel, it's a feeling that I would have lost if I don't have it, I mean, in the sense of love for nature, love for other people, for friends, for animals, and that's like the sense... I mean, I have some type of feeling I care, I have some type of worth for life, and I... so love, it is important, it's really important, the feeling, just like anger, whatever; feeling you need, but I can live without a male love, because I'm independent, I can

75 support myself; I don't need a love for that type of thing at all, but the thing I do need is companionship, which is a sense of love, I mean, I consider it a sense of love and I would need companionship, but, I don't know, at this moment... time of my life, I can't think about getting married and those types of things, living with someone maybe. I'm just too young and need to do more things before I actually settle down, because you have to compromise things... And you have to, you know, think if there is someone else besides you... kids involved, you know, member of his family, members of your family... I can do what I want for myself, but, I don't know, I can't say, because I don't know the future; but in time I think I will change and I may find somebody and I hope he will be the right person. Like in the older days, I don't know, like in the States, I know, you know, you go to school, then you go to the university; after the university you get married, you get children; your children will take care of you, and you die, I mean, that's like the life cycle, now, I know in the States a lot more women, especially, you know, people that are in the universities and just getting out of the universities, are thinking they want to do things for themselves, and I think this is one reason, is why, I mean, I think it's not right there, I mean, marriage. Q5: Did you ever see pretty woman? The scene where he goes and he takes her to the opera and he gets to the... . A ski slope, rent a lodge, beer and snow, and skiing, and have a really good hotel room with a Jacuzzi, with... windows that you can see the snow outside, with Champaign next to it, strawberries with cream, and, no, but that's a, I love snow. Q6: For a guy, no. I would never do that. I mean, it shows that you, I don't know, you are weak, it shows that you're depending on something, you're just dependant on that guy, I mean, when I see that, I see there's something wrong, that you're so dependant on this one person that you're willing to give your life up. You don't get love from him, then what is the sense of being with him because you're with him and he doesn't love you, and he's cheating on you and he's doing whatever else, you know, he's beating you, whatever else, it doesn't make sense, I mean, you only get better, how can you call that's love, you know, maybe it's infatuation, you don't know if it's love. Usually, what I've heard is there's somebody that makes such an impact on your life, it may be a lover or something like that, maybe you end it up marrying him, maybe, but maybe somehow you miss the chance to continue something further with him, there could always be that one person in your life that makes a great impact. Maybe that was the person, that's what it was meant to do, not to spend the rest of your life, but you're going to kill yourself anyway, you know. Q7: I think my parent's relationship is quite like the epitome of love, I mean, my parents are still in love, they've been married for twenty five years and I hope to find somebody like my father and... no; I think my father is a great guy and their relationship is great, I mean, it's totally fifty-fifty and my mother makes more than my father and my father accepts that; everybody thinks that's like so surprising that my father accepts it because the woman makes more money than the men and, I don't know, I mean, I hope someday, on the topic of love, that I can find somebody, I can find some kind of relationship like my parents', because I think it's a great relationship. They've had their problems, their little... and arguments, and everything, but they still love each other and they get along great and now that the kids are all away they are even having a better time, because I have an older brother and myself and a younger brother and my younger brother is the only one left at home and so they now do a lot more activities, they spend a lot more of time together. My parents met in a blind date, my father's best friend...my father forgot his gloves actually, my mother thought it was really stupid, but they got along great and they were together ever since after that day and my grandparents hated my father -my father's parents died when he was very young- but my mom's parents hated my father. My mom has a family of nine kids and of the nine kids my parents are still the only people, only marriage that's still together. So that's how they met. That's really cool because it's really strange to think that somebody, you just can meet somebody in a blind date and be married for twenty five years. Q8: I mean, if I met someone else and I like him, then I let him, you know, I mean... you know, I just won't be rude to him, whatever, you know, but, you know, every once in a while, it's nice... you know, a guy with romantic... you know, just being romantic and you, of course... head over heels. You have all these assholes come and say to you certain things, you know, and I, so, yes, I mean, if I... I'm interested in somebody or I want to get to know somebody, I'll go up to them, I mean, in different situations maybe I won't. Q9: I think some people do that, I mean, they know they can and they will do it. But that doesn't mean that they can do it the same way, when men know that they are good-looking and that women watch them as they are wiggling their ass down the walkway... Q10: There are different definitions of love, you've got the lust love, you've got the love love, you've got the friendship love, you've got the adult love, you've got the teenager love, what love you call, I don't know, it's difficult. It's a feeling, that's all I can say to you. It's a feeling you never know what it feels like and everybody does feel it differently so you can't describe it. It's one of those ultimate questions that when you die and you go to Heaven and you find out. 2. AMERICAN ENGLISH MALE Subject 1 Q1: I would say that love is... want to give... something that cannot be given without want to receive something that... can't receive; that it's complete and utter, complete and utter; that it's desire to... desire from the self for another person.

76 Q2: There was this girl who was the daughter of some family friends and my father; my father was a lawyer and so was her father, and we used to go to the house a lot to have dinner, to have lunch... in the swing set... in the backyard... we used to play in the swing set and I met her, I still meet her, I met her since I was about four. One night in some summer, I think I was about fourteen, I confessed my undying love for her, something like that, and we kissed a couple of times and that was about as far as I went. Then I went to school in another state and next summer we were good friends and sometimes... I still see her every summer. It was pretty much... love but the only thing that... anything different we were for a period of about three years; we wrote each other letters all the time, because I was going to school in Oregon and she was going to a school in Montana and... that's all. Q3: I seem to have some disagreement on that, but in general yes; I feel like humans are well... for life if they can just get through, the difficult initial stages of constructing a love relationship which I think is difficult to do. Q4: It's important but not that important, I mean, I can live without a woman, without a girlfriend at this moment but I know that as time goes by you may feel the need to have somebody by your side. Of course the love from parents, my friends is still important, but in a romantic sense I can manage by myself, today, yes. Q5: There is a girl. No, I had a very good friend at school in... it's not really, I'm kind of afraid to have fantasies because I don't want to jinx the relationships, but we've messed around a little bit, we have had tentative relationships and there's something between us, but we've never had a concrete relationship. I've never had sex with her, never made love to her, neither. And I guess I think about her. If I think of someone I think of her and I won't see her until next July and that's a long time so I better try not to think too hard. A lot of times, when we are having a conversation, I'll start saying something and she'll finish it or she'll start to say something and I'll finish it, so there is... It's kind of strange... I guess that my fantasy is that something is going to work out between us, at least for... year and... Q6: As a poetic, as it may seem, I am not personally inclined to take that course but I guess if you, I guess I could become, like... inevitable at some point, in certain circumstances but I would try to choose... choice. Q7: Well, I have some friends at school who are in a relationship, the girl actually studied down here... in Chile... the first semester and they both... school, the girl is an Art Major and the boy is, he doesn't know what he wants to do and we are all friends in a group of friends of about ten in my University for the last two years and they started going out last year about some time in the middle of the first semester, so they had a relationship; they lived together basically half of last year and the summer. He is... he has a very unique personal style and he's a very sensitive guy. She's very... they both are very genuine people and they have a very good relationship. The only... she told me there are some things about her -her name is Molly and his name is John-, that there are some things about her that John doesn't know and, from what I've seen and experienced, I think that she's a little less monogamous than he is. She's a little more inclined to, I think she needs intimate contact in her life and so does he, but he is able to forego and he feels that monogamy excludes anything coming in between the relationship, even if the other person is seven thousand miles away, and she feels differently. I don't know what else. Q8: I don't like a girl who cheats on me, I wouldn't cheat on anybody either, I think that the only thing that you can really expect from the person you're with is, I don't know, exclusiveness. If you respect somebody, in general, not only in terms of love, if you respect somebody you try to be honest with that person and infidelity is not the epitome of honesty, of course. Q9: I think that it's easy to have opinions like that if you have... I think it's a little bit neurotic. I think it's a lot neurotic, maybe, and I think that opinions like that can grow because the consciousness tells him funny things. But I think he would probably be able to overcome those feelings if he would get to know more women personally rather than walking through rooms, feeling their magnetic power around them, feeling dehumanized, and I think that maybe there are some... there are some women who perhaps play games with their magnetic powers of attraction but I don't think that's the overwhelming majority of male-female interactions. I think that's a very small area and I think there are plenty of men who play the same game and I think that guy's, needs to get to know more women personally or... very unlucky to be surrounded by femme fatale. Q10: Maybe, I don't really believe in love at first sight, I believe in lust at first sight. I think that people talk about, like, different kinds of love. I guess you can go to... Greek, like, whatever they are, the five different loves, but in terms of, like, erotic love or love for a life... for another person. It may be spontaneous but if it has to grow, I think it has to develop or at least the underlying conditions have to develop and I think that any relationship that is to have some kind of powerful love... together needs to develop slowly without too much pressure or without too much, it can't be too fast. Subject 2 Q1: To me love is a relationship between two people, a mutual relationship between two people and a feeling of voluntary obligation. It's a feeling that I can't really define or describe just what kind it is, and it's probably a... feel as if we'd do anything for someone else, probably means that you love that person, whether it's romantic love or love as friend, that's a rather different, actually different thing, but what kind specifically? In general I don't know what it is. It's a feeling you get from doing something, being with someone. I don't know.

77 Q2: My first real love experience started in my last year in the university, four years ago. I met a girl whose name's Tania, and I met her at the last semester of that year, the second semester. We started going out, going to movies; actually we first... each other's parties, and talked a lot, and we started going out, going to movies and stuff and we decided... that summer. She lives in a different part in LA. than I do, but we met each other at school which is kind of weird, because we go to a school on a different part of California and we both went to not the same high school, but I go to an all-boys high school, she went to an all-girls high school... we never met each other... so she moved down to LA. for a summer... apartment... and that summer we spent a lot of time together, and we came back to school... We just started spending a lot of time together everyday, just we.. nothing together... ridiculous amount of time. About two years this happened and I was going out with her until I left for here and she wanted to come down here with me, but I didn't want her to come down, because I thought it... would kind of be a different experience, so she decided to go to... in Africa, so she... . Still I talk to her a lot and we write each other all the time. She left last Sunday actually for Africa, she called me from Philadelphia, in the U. S., like "I'm in the phone, I'm about to go". She's gone for two and a half years, so it's very weird, I don't know what's going to happen. What we think, yes, because we spend a lot of time together and I spend... my whole... university career with her and never... anybody else, so we figured we should... really serious what would happen, if we spend so much time together, we should be apart for a while and make sure that you're definitely with the right person, and... if we're apart for a long period of time and after to... we come back we still have the same feelings for each other, still love each other, that would definitely mean something, I don't say marriage, but let's see what happens... let's see. Still I haven't met anybody. I think I still love her. Let's see. Q3: Depending on, I want to say depending on the age... too young beginning something so serious and met enough people, but,... depends on if you really think that you're with the right person and you've met other people and really think that you are with the right person, like a long lasting relationship, it has to be... at least long enough to get to know the person. Well, I don't know, I don't believe in a... a relationship short lasting, a while, it lasts for a while. For me, I'm the long lasting relationship kind of person, I think. Q4: At present, it's a strange question because it's the first time I've been without my girlfriend for a long time, first, it's really hard, it seems like it is really important, a big, big factor. I can't do without her, but I've had the feeling that as time went on... and I was right and I still love her a lot. But I see more myself as an independent person and you don't have to be with someone, you can be by yourself and still be happy, not as happy as... but still happy and yes; it's still really important here, right now, but in a different way than it was, love with plenty of other people, like friends, other friends, other girlfriends, not girlfriends in a romantic sense but girlfriends, because when you have a girlfriend it's kind of like you block out some girls and friends that could be... Q5: Probably... be with someone... be with the person you love completely... with no one else around and still be completely happy and have, maybe.. so it's maybe being with one girl, my girlfriend, and away from... out of the city, away from everything, just me and her in the beach, a beautiful landscape, happy as can be, kids, family, growing our own food, doing everything yourself, being completely independent. But at the same time you need friends, sort of... but then there's... because you can't be secluded of... completely secluded with someone... world, so, be secluded or something from the city. Q6: It's a good question. It's a tough question. I think that if I really love someone... instant... that I would definitely give up my life... another person, because it's a matter of thinking a lot for a long time, like "OK, next month", like, "This person's going to die, so you give up your life". I don't know if I'd do it. It's a good question. It's a hypothetical... Someone said that if you and your girlfriend, I don't know. It seems completely illogical, you love something so you're going to kill yourself in order to get away from it? I can't think of a situation when it's possible; it never, in my perspective there's nothing that important that I can't keep on living for. If there's something I love... I think it's possible to, after a time, after a lot of time, it is possible to..., I don't think there's anything really so important to... I just can't see the logic, the point in killing yourself; suicide seems completely illogical... you're not happy or something or something happened you can... to change the situation, make a difference, make it better for you. Q7: It's very hard to give an opinion about someone else's love relationships, because a lot of times they seem illogical and really hard to understand, but when you are inside of them then you understand. It's almost like you have to be in love for one time, to be able to understand other people's love relationships, they wouldn't seem illogical or crazy from an outside point of view. Q8: Infidelity. My opinion, if you really love someone, you shouldn't be... because I know, when I was with my girlfriend, when I was sure that I loved her and I really love her, like I can look the most beautiful girl in the world and wouldn't be interested... you don't even look twice... after a while... after... two years you start thinking about other girls, looking at other girls, and this is at the same time we think... the same time you start looking at other girls. So I knew, it was a kind of indication, I knew that this love that was in my relationship was, there's something going on... so, if you're cheating on someone and you should look the relationship and say "Oh, gee. That's... I still love that person!"... looks like... there's something wrong with the relation, there's something going on right now that's making, it's pulling us apart... something like twenty years I could say...

78 Q9: I can't really relate to this person's feeling of being dehumanized, because it doesn't; I don't feel dehumanized when I see a girl dressed... this person, it seems that these are probably the types of people who rape women and I don't have the same urges... I can manage the fact when I see a girl dressed really nice, who gets certain attraction but you... should be able to control all that, it's almost like... this person, he's looking at, that person is like "I have this attraction therefore I should go ahead with my instincts" and... she has completely disregarded you. I don't know, my instincts have never been that strong in the sense that I... can control my instincts. Q10: Redefinition of love, it's again a feeling, it's a flood of passion, it's a passion for something that... it's not necessary to be for a person, it could be a friend or a hobby or, it's the way you feel that you want to do this... anything else... between people... love for something... to be completely illogical but you can receive complete happiness from doing something that makes no sense at all... 3.

Era como otra onda, era como la onda ms intelectual conmigo como el aspecto intelectual y a la vez fsico...X no era muy sensual, era como que yo le tena que poner el toque de erotismo a la relacin...me gustaba atraerlo hacia m, el atraerlo hacia mi era interesante...si bien estar con l tanto tiempo en contacto fsico me molestaba...nunca me sent como "estoy feliz, plena", como que algo me faltaba...s, era bueno pero si estuviera probando otra cosa sera mejor; porque yo tendra ms experiencia y el otro, tambin con X, era la primera vez que tenamos esos sentimientos, en cambio con este otro... l ya haba tenido experiencias anteriores y yo tambin, entonces era otra cosa; nos una inmediatamente el mbito fsico.

Q6: Nunca he pensado en suicidarme por amor, nunca... pienso que siempre despus de un gallo viene otro...despus de una buena viene una mejor o a lo mejor una ms mala pero igual va a ser vida, porque tena que vivirla, hagai lo hagai tens que vivir...por amor a ti mismo..."si no es con l no es con nadie", no jams... si no es con l yo me mato, no vivo, nunca, nunca, "si no estai conmigo me muero", nunca lo he pensado...[la relacin con X] so en este momento no lo puedo visualizar, no lo puedo medir, no lo puedo sopesar con otra cosa porque no me ha llegado de nuevo; cuando me llegue de nuevo o a lo mejor me llegue realmente, me voy a dar cuenta que en cuatro aos me entregu a la otra persona

80 y no estaba ni ah... pero al mejor voy a conocer a otra persona que "no estai conmigo me muero, me corto las venas, me tomo 50 diazepan por que no estai conmigo...hasta este momento no me ha llegado esa situacin...yo amo mucho la vida; yo me quiero caleta... si el otro no est conmigo es por que el otro pierde, no porque yo pierda...por X yo habra dado la vida; pero no me hubiera matado...en el sentido que viene un auto y lo va a atropellar me tiro y me muero yo...lo hara...lo habra hecho, ahora no...pensaba que l era ms que yo; necesitaba ms estar con vida que yo...

Q8: Si uno est siempre ah, y l te dice "oye, voy a salir con mis compaeros, un mes a la playa"; una misma le est dando la pauta... si el gallo te est poniendo el gorro es porque...l ha sido ms inteligente que t. Una no la ha sabido hacer, no ha sido inteligente, l s. Porque l ha aprovechado las oportunidades que ha tenido, y una no. [ser infiel] porque a m me gustaba, porque yo lo busqu...yo miles de veces se lo dije "si t me quers poner el gorro y si me quers contar bueno y si no no importa; ahora lo nico que me gustara que me dijerai sera "oye, sabs que me gust esta galla ms de lo que yo pensaba y quiero estar con ella", pero que no me ests "ay, es que no s que me pasa, estoy con problemas existenciales", so no..." no tengo ningn atado si son canitas al aire y que no tengan ninguna ingerencia mayor en la pareja, ningn problema. Q9: La mujer incita mucho al hombre, lo incita a hacer cosas que a lo mejor ella ni siquiera piensa pero con su vestimenta, con sus gestos, lo est inconscientemente o conscientemente haciendo... al final, la mujer es la que da la pauta, es la que tiene que ser agresiva, la que quiere...t incitai al gallo a que haga ciertas cosas...la mujer sabe cuales son sus atributos personales, sensuales como para conquistar un hombre...una mujer que se sabe atractiva, va a explotar la mujer sus atributos...son tontas las mujeres que no saben que estn expuestas a que les suceda algo en la calle...si sale a la calle provocando...es lgico, en el hombre t despiertas instintos...a un hombre t no le vai a despertar sentimientos, t le vai a despertar el instinto, el instinto por llegar a ti a lo mejor, pero no es un sentimiento... si veo un tremendo mino, qu ganas de agarrarle el poto... Subject 2 Q1: El amor puede ser algo bonito que nace entre dos personas. Otra forma de definirlo es como una estupidez. Es diferente de la amistad; uno entrega ms de lo que debe, porque con amigos uno habla de cosas vagas no ms, pero con el pololeo o cuando una ya quiere algo con alguien habla, ponte, de la vida, qu es lo que quiere hacer, sus metas. Es diferente. Estoy ms tiempo. Q2: Tena como 7 aitos, mi primer amor. Eramos amigos y empez algo bonito entre nosotros, y me escriba cartitas de amor, me preguntaba a qu pases me gustara viajar, cmo me quera casar. Y eso, pero fueron poquitos aos, como dos aos. El primer pololeo adulto dur como 4 meses. Lo conoc; l andaba con otra nia y se puso a pololear conmigo. duramos harto tiempo... era como mi primer pololeo, era algo raro. Yo no saba qu hacer, me daba miedo darle un beso, super tmida... y despus fuimos amigos y ahora somos super buenos amigos. Terminamos porque yo despus me aburr; porque terminbamos, volvamos a empezar... hasta que yo al final le dije "mejor seamos amigos solamente". Seguimos mejor como amigos. La relacin ms importante fue la de ahora, la que lleg ahora. Pero despus de 4 aos ya... Salamos juntos, nos conocamos, las familias ya se conocen... nos contamos nuestras cosas como son, hablamos de nuestras familias... Lo conoc en diciembre del 89; ramos amigos, fuimos amigos... empez en la playa...hablamos cosas as no ms, porque a m no me caa muy bien... yo andaba con otro nio, que se fue de viaje; segu conversando con l; me empez a gustar. Ah salimos los dos de viaje, nos fuimos a la playa y ah empezamos a pololear. Despus volvimos a Santiago y yo termin con l. Y volvimos despus de un mes. Cuatro aos y un mes llevamos. Q3: Las relaciones no pueden ser largas. Porque uno se aburre. Empezai a conocer mucho a la persona y al final ya estai aburrida, no quieres nada ms con l, que se termine todo luego. Les conocs mucho las maas. Despus da una cosa as como que ya es costumbre verlo, es costumbre estar con l y quererlo. Yo estoy aburrida. Q4: El amor es importante, importante... porque una se siente como querida, diferente. No como ese amor de amigo sino como una cosa... como que alguien te viene a ver; sentir esos nervios en el estmago, de verlo, que cuando ir a venir; todo eso es importante, no s, es algo rico, me gusta... diferente.

81 Q5: Ah como cuando te ves en el altar con tu vestido blanco, el novio, con todos los invitados... eso es lindo, como un sueo, y lo otro puede ser... un reencuentro con alguien querido, un sueo con ese reencuentro y quers verlo... algo que fue lindo pero fue corto o que no vive ac en Santiago. Una anhela que venga, "pucha, cundo viene", quiere saber fechas por lo menos y no va a ser, pero es un sueo. Una vez so que estaba en una casa grande, grande y estaban los Chicago Bulls, y ya; ah estbamos, y yo estaba con X y a la hora que l me iba a dar el beso me despert mi mam. Eso fue todo el sueo, super corto. Q6: Entregar la vida por el ser amado es como... cuando ya lo quers mucho digo yo. Pero tambin a veces es nada que ver, por que a veces uno entrega todo, pero esa persona no entrega nada por ti. El suicidio por amor, es que tens que estar muy chalado ya, ya en el lmite, en el lmite de la locura para hacer algo as. Si, eso debe ser, yo no lo hara. En mi caso yo no lo hara. Q7: Esa es locura, ya es como grotesca, como locura; como que hay mucho amor entremedio; no, yo no entiendo mucho esa relacin. Ser que es costumbre o es amor, no entiendo. Uno est conversando con ellos y ellos se empiezan a besar, empiezan a hablar cosas entre ellos, entonces uno queda como que puedo hablar, no vine a verlos besuquearse tampoco. Que dinero, que sacando cuentas, que el auto, que esto otro, es aburrido. No se cmo se llevan bien, tanta pelea tambin, l tambin que es tan "mamitis": colgado de las faldas de la mam, raro pues, pero en todo caso se llevan bien ellos as. Es que uno ve de afuera. Q8: Bueno, hay que hacerlo de repente, o no? Es costumbre... es buscar otras cosas, otras palabras de amor y uno cae en la tentacin y gorrea. Una no es tonta; cuando est casada ya tens que estar seria, si no, no; estai pololeando, hay que disfrutar la vida, el momento. Q9: No me gust mucho eso, porque t con cualquier chiva te pods acercar a ella y empezar a hablar; tampoco ser uno de sos que te siguen, no; as no ms, sencillo, y conversar no ms... tampoco llegar al lmite de violarla... despus puede llegar a pasar algo con ella cuando estn conversando y ah listo... no tens que llegar agresivo y decir simplemente "ven para ac", no. 4. CHILEAN SPANISH MALE Subject 1 Q1: No s, no tengo una... no es una [cosa] que pueda explicar...no lo puedo explicar en el sentido de que... de hecho, recuerdo una vez en el colegio que una vez estbamos con estos cmo es que se llama esta [cosa]? como los cursillos de sexualidad que tienes que hacer en los colegios, como en octavo bsico; una vez nos hicieron definir qu es el amor y de hecho buscando en el diccionario y [cosas] as, y me acuerdo que conceptualmente se haca muy difcil definir la [cosa] del amor, de hecho no entend la definicin que sala ah, no la entend, porque deca... lo nico que me quedaba claro era como... era la idea de un asunto, digamos, de carcter sentimental que te llevaba hacia... que desplazaba tus emociones de un lado hacia otro, o sea, de ti hacia otras personas, de ti hacia otras cosas u objetos, o sea, en fin, [cosas] que hacan modificar cierta conducta o actitudes tuyas, eso, pero nada ms, no me qued nada ms claro respecto a esa [cosa], y en general, aparte de conceptualizarlo, no pienso mucho en eso, es una [cosa] como que tengo integrada, no hago una separacin entre el amor y el resto de las cosas, por as decirlo, no tengo, entonces amor es una [cosa] integrada, o sea, para m, amor-amor puede ser una [cosa] super barata, como tenerle amor a ciertas [cosas] cotidianas, como el amor sublime que t puedes sentir, no s, por una [cosa], qu se yo, por una mina que te dej, que te dio filo... el concepto se transforma en un montn de cosas; por eso yo nunca conceptualizo sobre ese tipo de cosas, o sea, expresiones como "te amo", por ejemplo, o " la amo", no; para m... yo no las ocupo. Una vez tuve una conversacin con un amigo sobre el tema, que yo no ocupo la [cosa] precisamente porque no la conceptualizo, o sea, yo no puedo decirle a una persona, "te amo", porque no; porque para m ese sentimiento de amor no cuaja, no tiene un correlato como en mi vida, as, en mi experiencia, para m es una [cosa] integral. Q2: Amor de pareja? Bueno, yo cacho [creo] que... es que hay que remontarse al primer pololeo, o sea, el primer amor amor que tuve, la primera mina que me gust tena como diez aos, era una guagua as, que viva cerca de mi casa, que me rayaba. Ahora, naturalmente, como yo era un chico tmido, jams le dije ni una [cosa] y, solamente me gustaba y eso sera todo. Ahora, el amor como pareja, como concretado, bueno puede ser mi primer pololeo, pero que no tiene mucha originalidad, porque en el fondo fue como un pololeo, como casi inducido, cachai? [entiendes?] o sea, una poca en que yo estaba como tranquilo de la vida, qu se yo, pero cachaba que ya tendra que pasar algo con alguien, ya luego, porque se estaba yendo el tren ya y no pasaba nada; as que tena estos proyectos con gente tambin, as, poca primero medio; me gustaba una mina, pero yo nunca fui capaz, por miedo obviamente al rechazo y, pero no pasaba nada, entonces, este primer pololeo fue, sali as, como por un lado del inters mo ya de que pasara con alguien, digamos, por tener una relacin de pareja, y por otro lado, del inters de otra gente, en el fondo, tambin; a eso me refiero con producido... yo me acuerdo que no, que despus, que una vez, en una fiesta a la que van todos tus amigos, entonces me vieron mucho dando vueltas, as como as, entonces me empezaron a agarrar para el gueveo [burlarse] en la semana, me empezaron a guevear que, las tpicas tallas que te echan. Incluso tus amigos ms amigos, entonces ya, no s, uno se empieza a achacar por la [cosa]y justo en ese tiempo digamos, como en sa semana que pas ese asunto conoc a

82 una tipa, y como que me hice un, y sali [la cosa] y no, yo no tuve peros, o sea, a m igual me pareca atractiva, era todo lo que uno poda pedir tambin, o sea, no esperaba que, bien. Entonces fue as, igual, de repente da un poco vergenza decirlo porque, de espontneo tiene re-poco, o sea se juntaron las [cosas] as y este, la gente, digamos, no haba mina para m, ya listo y toda la [cosa] y vamos y entonces de ese momento que te contaba yo, de la fiesta X a atinar con la mina, pas una semana, una semana, en una fiesta, malsima a todo esto la fiesta, fue una [cosa] muy tirada de las mechas y ya y grosso, o sea yo no estara, no estaba interesado as, pero bien, me pareci super bien la situacin as que as sali y la [cosa] funcion como una [cosa] super clsica de, o sea, cuyo nico vnculo es el hecho de estar pololeando, o sea, no tiene ninguna [cosa] de ms peso, as que de paso as yo creo que, un mes y tanto, no me dej mucha marca, o sea, en ese minuto s, porque era el primer pololeo y qu se yo pero como relacin, como tipo de, fue super tpica para, la edad que yo tena, catorce aos y para el tipo de pololeo que uno, que se estilaba de la gente como yo. Q3: O sea, nunca, o sea, ahora, qu es lo que pienso ahora, no s, obviamente me ha cambiado mucho la perspectiva sobre so, o sea, jams en ese tiempo que estaba hablando antes de las primeras relaciones me daba, no es que me diera lo mismo, en el fondo, lo que iba saliendo, como se iban dando las cosas y nada ms, o sea, ninguna otra cosa poda importar aparte de so. Tu tenas como, iba a hacer una analoga con la Junta de Gobierno, "no tenemos plazos, tenemos metas", una cosa as. Para m era como vivir las experiencias ms que otra cosa, la experiencia del pololeo, qu se yo, de pareja, ms que lo que fuese a durar, ahora si te importaba mucho la relacin, si tu queras que, en el fondo, se sostuviera, que aguantara la cosa en el tiempo, ahora, vindolo desde esta perspectiva, en este momento es distinto, o sea si yo, bueno, de hecho hace ms de un ao que no estoy embarcado en ninguna relacin como seria, como pololeo, qu se yo, pero como la veo ahora, s. Ahora creo que si me embarcara ahora en una cosa, como de ese tiempo, la pensara en la perspectiva de repente de largo aliento, por lo mismo, por las mismas razones que uno de repente se mete con alguien sin mayor compromiso, justo es por so, porque sabes que es algo que se puede deshacer en cualquier momento, que es todo tcito, que no hay ningn tipo de contrato de nada, o sea, puede terminar como empez y ya, pero cuando t lo tomas ms en serio, o sea, yo, esa es la intencin, para m una relacin de ese tipo, pololeo o como lo llames, cmo te dir, asumido como compromiso, s, para m, ya tengo una idea para el tiempo que es distinta a la que tena antes, y por lo mismo, cuando realmente no me quiero enredar en serio con alguien, para m es otro tipo de relacin y por lo tanto ah, en ese caso, el tiempo es como lo mismo, porque tu vas sometiendo las cuestiones a como se vayan dando y nada ms y eso, entonces, para m el tiempo en este minuto s es como ms importante, o sea, si me embarco en una relacin ahora, en este minuto, si me pusiera a pololear con alguien, as, un compromiso, estara pensando en largo plazo, no s si casarme ni mucho menos, nunca ese tipo de cosas, pero pienso que si la cuestin fuera como, cachramos bien como pareja y ya, por la edad que tengo, estoy terminando la carrera y ese tipo de cosas, no estara, no pensara en una cosa tan burguesa como que me voy a casar, voy a juntar la plata, el auto, el pie de la casa, pero s pensara que en algn tiempo ms me voy a ir de la casa, por ejemplo, que desde ese punto de vista podra irme a vivir con esa persona, por ejemplo, o sea, hago los, pienso en esas cosas con mucho ms perspectiva que lo que haca antes, para se tipo de relaciones. Q4: Tengo, es tan vago mi concepto de amor que ahora, en este minuto, igual, si se restringe a la cuestin de pareja, creo que en este minuto, despus sobretodo de un tiempo largo sin estar embarcado en este tipo de situaciones, creo que es lo ms importante, o sea, estoy pensando en ello y por lo tanto. Tuve un par de relaciones desafortunadas hace un tiempo atrs, estaba un poco pensando en eso, o sea, en que s , me importa, me preocupa el hecho de tener o no tener relacin con otra, de pareja y que adems qu tipo de relacin. O sea, si me importa, s, me importa. Q5: Tambin es evolutivo, o sea, si es lgico, no es lo mismo que pensaba hace un tiempo atrs, de hecho, desde hace poco tiempo atrs que me ha cambiado totalmente el punto de vista, un montn de ideas que tena sobre eso, o sea, para el primer pololeo como importante que tuve. Claro, tena una idea acerca de que sera bueno y eso que sera como super bueno o una fantasa, de lo ideal que podra ser una relacin de pareja. Involucraba ms que plazos y ese tipo de cosas, como una sensacin de estabilidad, o sea, de que las cosas estuvieran bien y estar bien en el fondo es, est lleno como de lugares comunes, o sea, estar bien, tener un tipo de relacin armnica sin alteraciones. Lo interesante para m durante mucho tiempo fue so, o sea que, si una relacin de pareja, o sea, si era buena, si yo la encontraba satisfactoria, era como poblarla de cosas como lindas, por as decirlo, que fuese buena. Es que son puros lugares comunes, en el fondo son, o sea, quera sentirme bien con la pareja, como querernos montones y so era todo y eso era el objetivo un poco como de la vida en ese minuto. Despus te va cambiando la mirada sobre el asunto y ya no, tus fantasas, ests como, por lo menos en mi caso, como ms desilusionado de la vida, por as decirlo, de como se dan las cosas, entonces ya no te importa tanto una relacin as como pareja o fluida sino ms bien una cuestin que pudieras, no s, sacar como algn tipo de provecho, o sea, como lecciones para la vida, o sea, qu se yo, sabes que algo, que t no puedes sostener las cuestiones a la fuerza ni puedes sostenerlas por buena voluntad, que t mismo eres una persona super cambiante. Entonces, que lo mejor que puede pasar en una relacin de pareja es tener casi como momentos que te sean satisfactorios y no quiero decir tampoco satisfactorio en el sentido de que, qu se yo, de que te acuestes con alguien y seas feliz en ese momento. Tambin, digamos, pero me refiero a que no puedes amarrarlo, no puedes evitar que una

83 persona en algn momento se sulfure y no quiera ms de la relacin, por ejemplo, no puedes evitar nada de eso as que lo mejor que puedes esperar de una relacin es como una qumica con la otra persona, buena y que sabes que en algn momento se puede romper as que la aproveches mientras sea buena y lo ideal es que se pueda sostener, pero eso ya escapa a tu competencia y escapa a cualquier buena intencin que puedas tener. As que en este minuto, mi fantasa como grosa sera encontrar a esa persona, que yo no tengo predefinida, o sea, conozco a alguien, me ha pasado en el ltimo tiempo, he conocido gente que me ha parecido como "la raja" [muy buena], me ha parecido como la persona adecuada, que era la persona que tena que llegar en un momento que era propicio y todo bien, o sea, cumpla con una parte de la fantasa y la otra parte de la fantasa justamente, bueno, concretar algo y ver como se daba, el problema es que, por lo menos el ltimo tiempo, como la primera parte, o sea, que como que ha llegado esa persona X y no sale el resto. Entonces, no s qu pasar pero la fantasa se, ya se me desarma por que he tenido dos, por lo menos en los ltimos aos, una o dos relaciones de pareja que para m han sido importantes o comenzaron siendo super vitales para m y que despus se fueron diluyendo, entonces ya no, ya se te desarma la fantasa, ya no es lo que era, ya no crees en demasiadas cosas de lo que pueda pasar, no te haces demasiadas expectativas. Aunque sigo cayendo un poco en la trampa, s sigo creyendo, cuando empiezo una relacin o cuando estoy cerca de creer que estoy por comenzar una en que, todo va a ser distinto, que todo va a estar bien, pero no, ya se te desarma, ya ests mucho ms aterrizado en so. Realmente, las fantasas van por el lado sexual, van como en cierto tipo de complementaridad sexual que pudiera ser ms interesante que la que he tenido hasta ahora y de la cual me siento super culpable, o sea, igual no le voy a echar la culpa a las parejas que he tenido, o sea, so. Q6: O sea, puede ser lindo, pero para m no corre, o sea, he experimentado cosas bien parecidas a como las desilusiones absolutas, apostar todo por una relacin o por lo que pudo haber sido una relacin, que desilusionarte, quedar botado, quedar como con toda la intencin, s, he vivido so y creo que vivir cosas ms intensas que sas, peores y puedo como hacerme una idea de lo terrible que es. Ahora ya, hasta ese punto no, ese tipo de soluciones para lo que sea estn descartadas, es tal el miedo que le tengo a la muerte, que cualquier idea, no, o sea, para m, como estas cosas, relaciones muy neurticas, muy a la francesa, qu se yo, bien, o sea, yo cacho que alguien se mate por amor, o sea, no encuentro, no entiendo digamos, no me parece una decisin tan estpida, no me parece estpido, de verdad, por que en el fondo t cuando has colocado toda tu esperanza, todas tus ilusiones, o sea, en el fondo todo tu porvenir en manos de otra persona, esa persona te lo deshecha, a veces es tal la situacin de pobreza espiritual, que no tienes nada, es decir como desamparo, no tienes nada que hacer, no s, yo igual pienso que s, que puede ser atendible.Pero en mi caso, de ninguna forma, nada justifica, ninguna cosa, y bueno, si algn da lo hago, no voy a dar explicaciones tampoco, a menos que sea un acto fallido, lo ms seguro es que si algn da intento algo, va a ser un intento fallido, o sea, va a llegar el momento y no me voy a atrever a hacer determinada cosa. Q7: A ver, voy a tomar como ejemplo a X amigo. Es que tengo, me ha pasado con varios amigos cosas parecidas, pero vamos a elegir a X amigo porque lo tengo un poco ms de cerca; por otro lado, so es importante, yo creo que cualquier historia de pololeos de amigos que en general no las tengo muy, no son, son un poco, mientras ms duran los pololeos ms ajeno me siento de las relaciones de esas personas, por que no soy de meterme demasiado en la intimidad de la gente aunque sea muy amiga y otra gente, por lo dems, tampoco es muy dada a hacer demasiadas confidencias y ese tipo de cosas, ya bueno. Como ejemplo puede ser el caso de un amigo que, claro, pololea hace ms de un ao con X persona y este amigo, claro, con l tenamos una relacin bien como prxima as, de compaeros, qu se yo, y seguimos siendo muy buenos amigos, los que pasa es que justamente por varias razones y entre ellas digamos por el pololeo que tiene este muchacho, nos hemos distanciado un poco, como puede haber sido so o puede haber sido otra cosa. Entonces, bueno, en el tiempo que yo lo conoca no haba pololeado nunca, por ah una aventurilla, pero no era muy dado a ese tipo de pololeo incluso con problemas de timidez y de acercamiento con las mujeres en general, tena ese rollo, un cabro como tmido, simple, un tipo desenvuelto en general pero, y conoci a esta nia, tambin se tomaron su tiempo antes de comenzar, por todos esos problemas de acercamiento y bueno. Estn pololeando todava, aunque han tenido su par de quiebres y yo creo que, bueno, a l le ha servido montones o sea, l siente y yo siento tambin que l lo necesitaba montones y que ha sido bueno para l y qu se yo. ...Yo creo que ese tipo de relacin, ese tipo de situacin, digamos, con tus amigos te ocurre, aunque estoy hablando ms de m que de la relacin de ellos, pero pasa adems que estaba pensando en el asunto de otro amigo que es bien amigo mo tambin, que somos amigos del tiempo del colegio y que tena una cosa parecida, o sea, l se puso pololear y, no, pero el tipo, igual pel su cable con la polola, o sea, l como que se dedic como un poco a, no s, l como que dedic parte importante de su vida a la relacin que tena y lo dedic super en serio, o sea, que ya como que se desvincul un poco de su casa, los estudios, porque era su polola y bien, entonces es una [cosa] super fuerte, entonces redund en que yo no, perd un poco el contacto con l, pero pasa sto y uno a la larga est bien, en los momentos ms crticos por lo menos t igual no dejas de considerar que pese a sus relaciones de pareja las personas son ms o menos las mismas, as que so. Q8: Que est sujeta al tipo de relacin que tengas con o sea, yo no puedo concebir infidelidad si, qu s yo, ests con alguien. Bueno, es que "estar con alguien" es super vago, pero bueno, hay relaciones que son tan vagas como estar con alguien, o sea que t tienes alguna afinidad con alguien, qu se yo, atinas con alguien, te das un beso con alguien, en fin,

84 tienes como un rollo con alguien, so no es garanta de nada ms, entonces por ese lado no, creo que la infidelidad siempre est en funcin de lo que t entiendas como el tipo de relacin que tienes, ya para m no hay un patrn bsico. Ahora, la infidelidad en general, por ejemplo, de los pololeos tpicos que uno tuvo alguna vez, qu se yo, a m siempre me pareci por una parte que era una especie de tradicin porque me pareci que la infidelidad no era una cosa muy grave y que era muy importante, pero en el fondo es parte de tu libertad y parte de tu derecho de moverte en la vida independientemente. Pero por otro lado s me molestaba mucho cuando efectivamente tena que vivir esa cuestin, tena que afrontar el hecho de que alguien, la pareja ma, se meta con otra persona. Eso s, al final, creo que si tengo que ser como honesto en el asunto por un lado me afecta y me choca un poco, si tengo que ser consecuente no estoy de acuerdo, por as decirlo y por lo mismo como so, tengo un poco la idea ma de que t tienes que, de tu libertad para enfrentar la vida, tambin creo que me coloco ms a la defensiva, o sea, en el fondo creo que las relaciones que tengo, trato de ya, de dar por sentado de que nada es demasiado firme, demasiado estable como para que no se pueda quebrar con ese tipo de cosas. No digo que despus de una relacin de pareja, por ejemplo, que alguien me sea infiel, de hecho me ha pasado y que no pueda seguir la relacin de pareja, pero es complicado porque t ya tienes como un poco el temor de que esa cosa pueda repetirse y t no, en el fondo, no puedes sacarte de la cabeza de que igual te molesta, por que si efectivamente no me molestara, podra seguir ocurriendo, en fin, no como un hbito as un deporte pero podra seguir pasando yo podra pasarlo por alto como una cosa que no me afecta mucho, pero s me afecta montones. Es complicado, s, me complica cada vez que hablo sobre so. Q9: O sea, yo estoy de acuerdo con muchas de las cosas que dices ah, en general yo me siento de alguna forma agredido cuando veo a alguien, puede ser, una mina espectacular. Yo tengo claro tambin que la historia de mi vida y la historia de la vida del resto de la gente, la mayora por lo menos es una historia de permanentemente estar reprimiendo los deseos, siempre, y desde ese punto de vista creo que hay algo as como lo que dices t de deshumanizacin, no s si llamarla as, pero existe esto de sentir que t no puedes hacer lo que te gustara hacer, que t no puedes ser, en el fondo esa como comunicacin paradjica que te plantean o sea, por un lado te dicen, se te estn ofreciendo de alguna forma y por otro lado te estn diciendo "no", entonces, claro, uno siente como una especie de agresin. Pero por otro lado, es cierto que tambin ese tipo de agresiones son parte natural de la forma que tienes de relacionarte con la gente, o sea, t tambin ests agrediendo a otra gente, no por el hecho de que uno tenga una pinta increble ni mucho menos uno no va a ser agresor en la medida que uno pueda estar despertando algn tipo de inters, o si quieres, algn tipo de deseos, ms como bsico en el resto de la gente, o sea, si t los ests despertando consciente o inconscientemente, no es tan importante como el hecho de qu haces t frente a ese tipo de provocacin. Creo que el da que t te dejes de reprimir vas a perder el juicio, o sea, que es parte de la forma de comunicarte y relacionarte con la gente, nada ms. Si estoy de acuerdo, s, estoy de acuerdo, creo que en el fondo el tipo que es un violador que siente que no puede reprimir sus deseos frente a este tipo de agresiones o de provocaciones est, tiene cierta lgica lo que hace, pero el que tenga cierta lgica no significa de que yo lo apruebe o siquiera que yo pueda seguir su ejemplo, porque en el fondo se est respondiendo a una agresin pero se est evitando responder a otras tambin, por ejemplo, por qu l no orina en la calle. Es una cuestin como comprensible, o reaccin, no por eso la voy a respaldar yo, aunque igual creo que muy a pesar mo tenemos que reprimir los deseos y yo vivo reprimiendo mis deseos, desde que me acuerdo, pensando en so, como estudi toda esa paja de esta cosa psicoanaltica y de la historia de la sexualidad y qu s yo, tiene siempre esa cosa que t ests reprimiendo ms bien tus deseos y que la civilizacin tiene que reprimir deseos porque sino no anda, y creo que mi vida no andara si yo no reprimiera el deseo. Q10: Tengo el mismo rollo de antes no es algo que tenga definido, en mi caso se va definiendo en la medida que van ocurriendo cosas o que me van ocurriendo cosas en la vida, no es algo que yo tenga preestablecido, a diferencia de lo que me pasaba antes, el primer pololeo, yo tena como una visin de lo que era, no pensaba en el amor as en abstracto, pero s tena una visin en torno a qu sera una relacin ideal para m , qu sera una cosa como chora, buena, bonita. Creo que me he planteado justamente el hecho de no tener nada muy predefinido. Creo que el peor dao que me podra hacer es volver a decir qu sera bueno para m, en el fondo lo que sera bueno viene siendo lo que va siendo bueno, en el momento que lo es noms, y que va y que a partir de eso t puedes sacar conclusiones o decir lo positivo o lo malo que ha sido, pero ya no lo veo en trminos de una definicin a partir de la cual yo acto, creo s, creo en algunas cosas, creo que si tengo una relacin de pareja me gustara llegar a ciertos acuerdos con la otra persona para poder establecer cosas, pero mucho de so es absolutamente inmanejable, creo que la mayora de las cosas en este minuto son absolutamente inmanejables. Subject 2: Q1: Como un afn de posesin, no s, una cosa s. Me refiero a que en general es, bueno, es un deseo de poseer a otra persona. No estoy hablando en el sentido de poseerla, de quererla para ti, es una relacin, o sea, obviamente es un sentimiento egosta y existe como una especie de connotacin de propiedad cuando se establece una relacin amorosa, so. Q2: Bueno, la tpica, era la hermana de un amigo, iba para la casa de l, yo la vea, nos veamos, nos vimos y as se fue dando la cosa, un poco complicada pero, como siempre, las primeras relaciones son siempre como complicadas, porque

85 te da miedo todo adems que la idealizas ene y como todo es super sagrado, por donde pas es como "ah, aqu hay perlas escondidas", donde se sent, todo, todo es como, todo es importante. Por eso es complicado, te llenas la cabeza de cuestiones que no tienen mucho sentido. Pero en general tengo buenos recuerdos de so, o sea, tiene su lado bueno. Yo creo que casi todos recuerdan en realidad el, no la primera relacin, el, por lo menos el primer amor, porque uno establece las diferencias, como entre lo que es establecer una relacin y mantenerla despus casarte y todo so, sino que piensas inmediatamente como en el matrimonio, o sea, te ves una vida y piensas inmediatamente como en estar casado, lo relacionas altiro con so. Eso siempre me pareci curioso. Q3: No s si deberan, pero, o sea, es que uno no debera decir que deberan ser largas, una relacin dura lo que tiene que durar no ms. O sea, no es que no est de acuerdo, o sea, yo digo, si una relacin es larga, est bien, pero hay relaciones que no pueden ser largas, porque ms de dos das no la aguantas, o sea, no aguantas a la persona, o sea, hay relaciones claro, que te funcionan rebien, sientes que puedes estar callado mirando por la ventana y est bien, no sientes ningn tipo de incomodidad. Pero hay personas con las que ests callado mirando por la ventana y empiezas a sentir, no s, esa sensacin desagradable de "qu hacer, qu digo, me estoy aburriendo, se est aburriendo". Ests todo el tiempo como sintindote responsable de la otra persona, entonces uno no puede, no s, uno no puede decir que una relacin debe ser larga. Pude ser larga como puede ser, bueno, por lo general yo creo que una relacin ms o menos como seria tiende a ser larga. Q4: No s, en este momento no tengo ningn tipo de relacin as como establecida, como "esta es mi pareja", no. No s, yo dira que en este momento no es tan importante porque no, no tengo la cabeza ocupada con nadie en particular, o sea, no gasto mucho tiempo pensando en so, en este momento. Q5: No s, siempre pienso como, me gusta la idea como de establecerte con alguien, o sea, sea casado o no, pero establecerte con alguien, pero lejos, lejos de la gente que te conoce, en lo posible bien lejos y de la familia tambin y ser capaz como de formar un mundo aparte, o sea, donde realmente t sientas que an cuando haya otra gente digamos, contigo, ms personas, sientes que hay un nexo que slo los une a ellos y no es simplemente el emotivo, el sexual, el que sea, es como una cuestin que se construye de detallitos, que t cachas que, por ejemplo, que hizo sto, es por algo, hizo esto otro es por algo, y t sientes que es so, hay una, una comunicacin bien particular y que le pertenece a la pareja no ms y yo creo so tambin, como tener, siempre me ha gustado la idea como de establecerte con alguien y tratar como de, idealizo harto, como lo que es ser autosuficiente, que no necesitas demasiadas cosas de afuera, o sea, en lo posible lo que t hagas funcione con los dos, nada ms, sin mucha cosa exterior. Q6: Mira, podra decir que me parece una reverenda estupidez, pero no s, yo no s, igual el amor es como complicado, es complicado, o sea, yo creo que t mismo te has enamorado o por lo menos has sentido atraccin por ms de alguna, y yo tambin, por ms de alguna mina y siempre eso, nunca es igual, nunca es de la misma manera, o sea, hay como constantes, el tipo de la mina puede ser constante o ciertos gestos o, no s, el tipo de alguna manera y la forma en que t te "obsesionas", entre comillas, por la mina. Pero son siempre diferentes, o sea, las formas son diferentes, hay veces en que son como ms, te sientes como recontento y otras veces tambin en que te sientes como, le disfrutas el lado negativo, te deprimes y te aproblemas, pero te gusta, entonces yo no s. Si en realidad eso de matarse por una mina, qu tipo de amor es se por una mina no s, porque hay muchas veces, no s, yo creo que la mayor parte de, la mayora de los casos, ese sufrimiento por amor es como medio masoquista, pero la gente lo disfruta, disfruta de ese tipo de pena, la mayor parte de las veces les gusta so, tener como algn tipo de rollo, sentimentales o emocionales, as que en realidad no comprendo mucho eso de matarse por una mina, como que no lo llego a concebir, en todo caso no creo, no es que yo crea que lo haga, no lo hace sintindolo, o sea, por algo se mata, es una decisin ms o menos grandota pero no s, yo creo que hay un momento en que ya pierde, bueno, obviamente ya no disfruta ni su sufrimiento amoroso y le parece todo demasiado insoportable y so ya yo no s si puede ser propiamente tal porque ya pierdes toda posibilidad, o sea, ah s que ya perdiste toda posibilidad y primero que nada en el amor t tienes por lo menos de alguna manera, el afn por poseer y ah en so est metido el orgullo y, bueno el orgullo, el amor propio y t aunque no lo logres, tienes siempre como esa cuestin, o sea, ests tratando de sitiar un lugar y si no lo lograste quemar las naves. Q7: Bueno, no s, conozco a miles, bueno, no miles, pero conozco a ene personas que tienen algn tipo de relaciones. O sea, no s, no conozco a ninguna que sea, s, hay una pareja, bueno, era una pareja que la relacin de ellos era bien enfermiza, era demasiado negativa, no s, yo creo que disfrutaban los rollos que tenan uno con el otro as, de rollos macabros, no "que t me echas a perder la psiquis", andaban deprimidos todo el da, porque te dijo sto y "t me dijiste esto otro, pero yo te dije A y t me entendiste B y ahora estamos hablando de C" y ese tipo de cuestiones no las entiendo, y al mismo tiempo pasaban todo el tiempo juntos, no s, t salas y estaban ellos y se apartaban los dos, como que no podan tener amigos, o sea, si estaban ellos no podan tratar con los amigos. Una cuestin, so es, bueno, de hecho esa es una forma de amor que yo no comprendo. Q8: Bueno, no s, obviamente no estoy de acuerdo con so. O sea, yo creo es que hay que distinguir un poco, hay una cuestin que es como infidelidad y que no s. Cuando se produce en la relacin, y la relacin al mismo tiempo, la persona lo hace sin tratar de, teniendo la intencin de seguir manteniendo la relacin, digamos, normal y tiene sus deslices, como quien dice, por ah, me parece, no me parece bien, obviamente. No me parece bien porque so es

86 deslealtad que es lo mnimo que se le puede pedir a una persona, por lo menos a t pareja, un mnimo de lealtad. Si de repente le dio la calentura con otra persona, que despus te diga si, hasta aqu no ms llegamos y mientras ms rpido sea el golpe, mejor, porque estar manteniendo, o sea, mantener una relacin para tener como festivos por ah, no tiene sentido, en realidad no tiene sentido, lo que no implica que uno no puede apreciar, digamos, por aqu, por all, que te parezca una cosa bien, pero no, tampoco jugar chueco. Q9: Concuerdo plenamente con l, digamos con la lgica del susodicho, la cuestin es que, bueno, es un violador o sea, yo no entiendo muy bien si l trata de justificar el ser un violador con so, con ese argumento. Bueno, yo en ningn caso estoy de acuerdo con un violador que, no s, golpee y agarre una mina as, que la vi rica y llegue y la agarra y la tire en una zanja, o sea, no s, es que como que no hay mucho brillo en el asunto en realidad, as. O sea, me parece penca, bueno, si la mina, obviamente ah ya hay como una especie de agresin psicolgica podra decirse, de parte de la mina y el gallo responde con una agresin fsica, o sea, no s, me parece una porquera. Pero, no estoy de acuerdo con que la solucin sea violar o que sea una va justificable, una accin justificable, pero s concuerdo con esa lgica, o sea, que las minas se, la mayor parte de las veces las mujeres se visten pensando en so, o sea, en verse bien, no para verse bien precisamente delante de una mina, quieren verse atractivas, quieren llamar la atencin y yo no s si en realidad tienen como un doble pensamiento, o sea, yo no s si se dan cuenta que se verse atractivas representa despertar esos instintos bsicos en el hombre, parece como si no se dieran cuenta, para ellas verse atractivas es diferente a que t quieras echar una canita al aire. Como que no tienen, como que tienen esa limitante, no relacionan no s si so, lo que a m me parece una estupidez, o sea, son [estpidas] y si no es as, es penca, es muy penca, bueno hay minas que s lo hacen para provocarte y despus, no s, se van por la tangente, o sea, hay minas que son as. No se toman el agita. Pero yo creo en todo caso que es una, o sea yo creo que uno est demasiado acostumbrado a so como para llegar a violar a una mina, no s, sales a la calle y lo ves, prendes la tele y lo ves, o sea, como, no s es como, ya uno est acostumbrado en realidad y por eso te llaman la atencin algunas, no todas. Q10: Bsicamente lo mismo, yo dira que s, es un afn de posesin, o sea, el afn de poseer a otra persona, de sentirla como propiedad de uno, pero no en el sentido, me refiero al sentido de que la sientes tuya, que es para t, no es para, que existe ese algo particular, que no es para el resto, que no es para el resto de la gente y, obviamente, ese afn de posesin no es, es egosmo por un lado, pero no es egosmo por como, en el sentido de acaparar cosas, sino porque tienes un sentimiento que quieres verlo realizado y la nica manera de verlo realizado es tener a esa persona cerca, o sea, la nica manera de satisfacer ese deseo y ese sentimiento, so.

Personally, I don't like to think about death... I have a lot of fear about death. To me it means kind of an end. I think I kind of believe in an after life, but I'm not very sure of it, say, I have reservations about it. I think about... something sort of dark and scary to me. A lot of people aren't scared of death, I'm really scared of death, it means the end of me, the end of existence, but, ...to me is a really scary term. A lot of people think "oh, death, you know, it's just the end of life, and then we start all over again". To me, it's like "oh, the end". Q2: I think a lot of people have the same idea that there is death... people that are maybe... spiritual thing, death is something that have to happen because of a reason, and some other think that are kind of like, if some one young died... there's a reason, there's someone, some god, or something wants somebody to die, so they need someone somewhere, and I try to think of it as something else. I think it is a horrible thing, I think it's an awful, sad thing for some sort of people, for some older people... kind of death like, "ah, you know, finally you leave...". There's different kinds of deaths... that it was an evil that had to happen, so that would be my answer to that.

87 Q3: Actually, it's strange you're talking about this, because I've just found out that a really good friend of mine has just died on Sunday, in the US., and my reaction, if I can remember something, it's absolute sadness, but it's also a shock. How I react to that is shock, just like, it never hits me until later. I, personally, I cried, sadness, I want to be alone, nobody near me. Sadness, shock, fright, and I always think, "some day it's going to happen to me, some day it's going to happen to somebody else... I think it's like loss, it's like death signifies a loss: someone is taken from you and feel like if you have lost something. That feeling you could never going to be all the same, you will never... going to see somebody again. And then I think that the whole realization that anyone can die, anytime, that we are here for a short time and your life can end when you walk down the street and your life can end any time and life isn't that you think, life is every thing when you're alive, but really isn't that much, anyone can just die, I mean, your whole life is not that important and that sounds scary... Obviously, you take anyone's reaction when someone dies is to cry or to be upset, because they've lost somebody, but, it's a weird subject, I mean especially this thing of my friend who's just died, it's been in my head, it's a really strange thing, it's awful, and he just died. Twenty-one years old, playing basketball, died, they've no idea why, they've ....autopsy, every thing, no idea... collapsed...death is like they kind of leave you and then you think there has to be a reason why, some kind of other force who takes somebody away like a twenty-one year old, especially, or when you're five year old, or ten year old, it's a different death, you know, a nine year old dying of cancer, death then is like a relief, you know, finally there can be peace... Q4: On my death. It depends on when, on my life. If I just died now, it would be grief, you know, like my parents, my friend had just died, all they could ever say is that the worst thing that could ever happen to parents is to have their child died, and I know, I've seen a couple of friends, parents who's child have died and I would say that's just the worst grief that you can live... they are taken away from you, at ten or twenty years... but I would say, just sadness and grief and pain. Q5: Probably mine, being so scared of it, I think it's a really bad attitude... scary thing, because it happens to everybody, it's a reality, everybody is going to die and I don't want to go into that... if I died there's a reason for it, and if death comes, it could be the end and the beginning of something else. It shouldn't be looked at as a horrible thing as "every one's going to die...there's no escaping" and going into that, I shouldn't be so scared, it just means that a lot of people don't do a lot of things because they are scared of dying, and you won't take risks because you think you're going to die, and I try to think... take risks... I believe that there is a force that makes someone die, I don't know whether a god...something out there, because I don't think that people just die, I don't think like at five-year old you just die. Why would a ninety-nine year old who is in the hospital in a respirator, he is still alive and a five year old child dies, it doesn't make sense to me, so I like to think that there's is a reason why. I think that the worst attitude to have is fright but, how can you not fear death, because it's unknown and you always have fears of unknown. My attitude is the worst attitude. Q6: The acceptance attitude to death but also the attitude, like I said before, that everyone dies for a reason and just accepting that... you accepted and now you're going to, and don't expect to die but at a hundred years old... something that's going to be part of you life and take risks and do whatever you want and don't have a... evil or dark sides... that's really hard to do, I know it, a lot of people like I know... my friend... his sister... and she's seventeen, and she's so scared that she thinks he's going to come to her in the middle of the night, the ghost of him, and tell her what... take care of his brother... I just remember when I was working at a summer camp and a girl died... she was seventeen and I didn't want to walk by the cabinet she slept in, I don't know why, I was scared of it, i didn't want to... I don't know why I would ever be scared ever if somebody did come back in a spiritual form, I wouldn't be scared of the spirit, that wouldn't do anything to me, they weren't murdered, just a person who died in an accident... I'm scared that something is going to happen, some thing evil. Q7: I'm personally so scared of death and scared of not being M., scared of not having an existence anymore, I'm convinced at the minute I die... I'll get somewhere and I'll be somewhere else and I'll see everyone I knew... happy happy... walking round... I don't know if I believe in me coming back in a form, reencarnation. I believe something is going to happen, because I don't think it's going nothing... sometimes I get those fears like I being lying in a coffin like conscious...a piece of wood over me, staring "oh, my god, I'm dead"... I think still I'm going to think... have a brain and be able to think what's going to happen then... what's going to happen to them. I don't want to know, being nothing is what scares me most... things can happen, but still I'm going to be me, I'm not going to turn in another person. Q8: That's hard. I would say, none of my friends is dead... last year the whole psycho after someone dies...at first people does need people around them. That doesn't mean necessarily to be talking about it, I can't even think...I think people need too be completely de-surrounded by people for about three weeks or so and then I think everybody wants to be alone for another two weeks, so they can actually accept that they are in shock, I don't know, I would just talk to them, I would just be there for there's nothing I would know to talk about... I can't even imagine... the worst thing that could ever happen. How to comfort what...what can I say?... such an awful thing, but just being there, staying there, every single night staying there so that they are not alone... being alone after someone's die...death comes to you, I wouldn't know what to say, just being there and giving them support and care and also giving them space and leaving them alone

88 because I can't always have to be around. Have someone else, in their whole life and never have to deal with that, now they're going to have to deal with it. It's really an awful subject. Q9: I'd like to say... re define it, that it's a good thing. Not a good thing but that it's, you know, some thing that has to happen to everyone, and that it's the end of a life but it could be the start of a new life but just after life... Subject 2 Q1: What does death mean to me? I think to me it's a very scary thing, I'm pretty much agnostic, I'm spiritual but I don't... in a God or in a heaven, so to me death's something very scary because it just means the end of life with nothing really continuing on afterwards. So if a family member would have died or I would have died that would be the end, that would be it, so to me death signifies just the end. Q2: I think that in the United States everyone's scared of death, I think it's a very fearful thing. I think some people believe they're going to go to heaven or... I don't know anyone welcomes death. I think it's...a very scary thing, I think that very few people know anything about death, no one can know what's going to happen when you actually die. Q3: No one I've ever known has ever died, which I think is why I have so much fear, because I've never had to react. It definitively depends on if it was someone who I was close to, I think I would be devastated. I am, I've got deep rooted fear of death because I'm really close to my dad and I don't have anyone else that I'm really close to like I have friends or boyfriends... as my father's... he's been my protector, he's been taking care of me and I never had a mom... the biggest fear... my dad's going to die because if my dad dies, I'm an orphan, I'm alone and so, dad, if he died I'd go crazy... Q4: If I died right now, everybody would be shocked, and I think, in reverse, I said my father is close to me, it would ruin his life if I died, because in many ways I'm his creation, he's put so much energy into me, so much time into me, money, but money isn't you know, and I know he would like to be a grandfather and all this thing, and I think he would be absolutely devastated and all my friends, I think, they would be absolutely shocked because I'm such a person that talks so much of the future and things I want to do with my life, all these future plans and... I'm going to think it's going to be a big tragedy, I think it would be devastating to people. [in the case of dying at an old age] then it would be expected, then it would be natural because everyone has to die at some point, so if you are eighty years old or eighty five years old and you've lived a full life and you're happy, I think that you are ready, I think that your time has come, and you're ready to end or to move on or whatever. My friends would be about to die too. It would be more expected, it would be something some people, they wouldn't be shocked, I guess that at that time of your life it wouldn't be that tremendous shock, it wouldn't be that tremendous...Opportunities are waiting her, because you've lived a complete life, you had a family... I think people would be very, still upset, but people close to you would be more natural. Q5: Thinking of death as a way of continuing on earth, if you believe in reincarnation, if you believe that you're going to come back as another person or as another being, that would be positive, or if you believe in heaven, believe in that, people that have a faith, that you're going to go to heaven when you die, that life continues, I think...scared...because no one can really know, so you can have some deep religious beliefs but you would still have doubts, I will assume. Well, I'd like to [share some of these beliefs], I consider myself to be a spiritual person, I believe there's something bigger out there than what we see... without senses, what we see, what we hear, what we can feel. But I'm terrified, not so much terrified of my own death but of the death of people who I love or that I know, so I might share some, I don't mind... myself being reincarnated into another person but you also, you become part of the ecosystem wherever you are buried or your body lies. Q6: Saying that the one sure thing that you're going to have in your life is that you're going to die, obviously, like if you were born you're going to die, you have to die, it's not the most positive, but I think that with a lack of spirituality, with a lack of religious belief, everything is focused on the life you live up to this moment, day by day by day, and then everything, you know, your life from when you're born till you die, it's not that positive. Q7: It's not that I think of it very often, but I guess, I kind of picture it in one sense just like falling asleep and never waking up but without dreaming, it depends, I think on the way I'd like to die... I think that if you are in a car...or something. I think that the worst way to die is to die if you're wounded or you've been hurt in an accident or, I don't know, even shot or something like that and then you're dying in misery because you... all this pain, I wouldn't want dying in pain... until you lose consciousness and then you die, but until that point I think it would be the worst thing. I think the actual death... it would be the end, be finally, one thing about dying I guess is that it's the worst for the people that are left after you than it is for yourself. I think the saddest thing about death is that... if you're young, all the opportunities you're going to have, it's the saddest thing, all the things that you are going to do like some of my age... it seems that life is so short... such a short amount of time to do all the things that, I don't know, if they have more time. Q8: I think the most you could do it's just listen to that person and let them tell you how they feel because you can't take any one's pain... part of life is pain and there's nothing you can ever say or make that person feel better, you cannot give advice, you can only be there and love that person and listen to that person and give that person your support but you couldn't, there's nothing you can say to make a change. I would probably focus on all the people they still have in their lives, loving them, and that care about them, and that life goes on.

89 Q9: I guess, from what I've said I put death on two categories, I put death in natural death, that's dying when you're older and then I put death in shocking death, that is tragic, like a car accident...rapes, you know, violations and crime, like being knocked down when you're walking home, which is...when I think of death I think of unnatural accidents, unnatural as far as not being your body that's dying... looks like the way I define death is like "OK, you're older, you've lived a full life but it's not OK if you are twenty five year old or if you are forty years" but then again... a terrible reaction, someone I knew who was twenty five and who died of cancer, because that's a natural death as well, but it still seems like it's unfair, so yes, I put death in two categories. Why unfair? I think I still have this idea that you get in this life which consists of ninety years where you are allowed, since, from, a child you're allowed to do these different things, that you are, up to a certain point... your thirties and forties, have a career, you have a job, you do things... to make a difference. As far as my life, I feel like I've been given opportunities but then I have a responsibility that I want to do something with my life...it would be unjust if you haven't been able to fulfill all your hopes, all your dreams, when you have other plans for the future. 2. AMERICAN ENGLISH MALE Subject 1 Q1: To me death, right now -it changes through life- but right now death seems to me some... right now it's nothing more. I have no idea of what comes afterwards and I'm here trying to pass, you know, live and die and see what happens afterwards. Right now it's just finishing the stage or whatever we are in right now. Q2: That it's the most horrible thing that can possibly happen to someone and, whether it's probably engaged with ... if someone's religious... or not but... people that are religious... seems like really have faith in God and still seems to me that they are very fearful of and it's a horrible thing whether it's because their believes are not that strong. I think that the most common idea, it's nothing bad, good neither. Q3: I was just talking to someone about this. I've never really had some really really important friend, like if all people that have died were some distant relatives that I met once. I've really never had to confront that, yet. I don't know. Of course, I would be very sad but at the same time, I don't know how I'd react, at the same time I don't think I'd react in the same sense as someone else, it would be like, it wouldn't be a sadness for them, but more a sadness for me, for everybody that's losing that person because I know... that person, be sad for that person, that wouldn't make sense because he's dead and doesn't know he's dead or else he's dead... in a better place. Q4: I hope they would be sad, I'm sure, they, I assume that they would be really sad because, I don't know, I hope that they would think they are missing... someone, that they'd lost someone, that's a unique person and... played a big part in their lives in the past and is going to... in the future and now is not... it's more just like ... you're losing something... it's almost like people are sad for losing... something they had in their lives... good or bad... just get sad. Q5: Being afraid of it, to be constantly thinking of death. It seems the most bizarre thing to me because I'm still young and people are young and think about that, it's so far away but, I think if someone's happy with their life, really happy with their life... they are not going to be sad about dying... if someone is miserable all their life probably they're going to have a different attitude about dying and think that... things... having an easy time... but that's just fear of death, everybody has some fear of death, certain people have a lot of fear... scared of what's going to happen, the worst thing it could happen, the worst thing it could happen is death... It's not that,... It's just a way of thinking. Q6: Exactly that, that it's, that you really don't know why it is so, why to be afraid at that thing? Just live each day and do what you want and if you... if you can have a, you can have a happy life and die happy then everything you want to accomplish is... Q7: I have no idea, it could be just that's over and you just don't exist and there's nothing and I'm deep down on... religious, but not religious in a way that: "This is God, this is Jesus Christ, this... Buddha, he is God"... If there is a God, there's something more to life than just the fact of you just happen to be here and you just live and then you die and that's that. There's something afterwards but I really can't guess what's going to happen, it's almost like I'm not scared of death but I'm sometimes anxious to see what is it really that's after death, it's weird, I'm definitely to find out, right now, I don't know what would happen. Q8: That one's really hard, because I've never experienced death, so it's hard for me to... somebody else, it's usually like I feel funny and I don't know what to say so usually I just let them know that I'm sorry and if he needs someone to talk to, I'm there, if he wants to talk to me, but I don't like to... happens to me and when it happens to me I don't like to... talk about it, and if I talk about it is because I want to talk to him... come up to me and say: "what happened? Are you OK? Tell me about this and that". I think that it would drive me crazy if my mom and dad died. Specially people that think that they know me and that they know my parents... "I'm sorry", it's a horrible story. I'd expect, I kind of do the same to them... you need someone to talk to... Q9: After what I've said, just and end of, just it could be the end of everything, I think that it's the end of a stage or something afterwards, it's just the ending of what we are, what we are doing, everything we have, it's the ending of that, and you're going to a next point or, that's it.

90 Subject 2 Q1: I think that American Medical Association defines death as a complete and irrevocable cessation of the heart and cessation of the brain functions... also for that definition when the heart and the brain are dead the person is too... Q2: I think that some people believe after they die nothing happens, some people believe that after they die their spirit has some kind of afterlife, sometimes based on how they comported themselves during their lives, sometimes not, and some people believe they are reincarnated or their spirit or some vital part... the liver or appendix, or some common conception about death, I think that some people fear death too much and think some people don't fear it enough and... Q3: Three of my friends in High School died in a plane crash, but it was kind of a funny situation because, well, it wasn't funny, but it was an unusual situation because they weren't very close friends of mine, they were very close friends of friends of mine, but they weren't really that close so it affected me, their death affected me, so I went to the funeral, I felt, I didn't cry, I felt like crying, but there was a lot of hysteria and some of it seemed to me like it wasn't that genuine, I felt like some people grieved to be seen grieving more than they grieved because they were going through grief. It seemed to me, but I didn't say anything and, I don't know, it just seemed to me that some people were over... seemed that some of the things that happened were almost theatrical. Q4: Actually, I had a near death experience once, if you want to hear about. I had a bicycle accident... the police said I was driving at highway speed... and I hit the car and I fractured my skull and fractured my shoulder and fractured my... and I went over the car after, I hit it and... -I was sixteen or seventeen- and I was lying on the street and I felt really really cold, I felt colder than I've ever felt in my life as I was lying in the street and I felt, I was in pain and I couldn't move anything and I thought: "This really sucks", and then the whole, my picture I was looking up and I could see like it was a grey sky and it was the middle of the day and the sky was like... grey and I could see some trees... and then... like a Walt Disney cartoon finishing and there was... "Oh good, no more pain" and then it went Blink! and then I woke up in the emergency room like the next day. I felt like I was possessed by an ice cream. I felt like, it wasn't the temperature sensation of cold. It was an utter and absolute cold, it was like absolute zero. I was cold. Q5: To accept it as an inevitable consequence for living and know that is going to come one day or another and be prepared for that on some subconsciouss level if that's possible and if not, to recognize it, to... it, when other people you know die to grieve and accept it as a process and move on. Q6: For example, sometimes you see an article about a family... whose child, and the child dies and they keep the child's room exactly how it was, you know, they go in the vacuum once a week or they change his sheets on the bed but essentially they keep the room neat and tidy, you know, twelve years after the kid's dead, the room is exactly the same, I think that kind of behaviour is unhealthy. Q7: I think my body will rot. I think I will decompose. I think my family would be unhappy... alive I think my friends would miss me, I hope. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. No obligations, no schedules, no wings. I'd even go so far as to say that maybe I'd like to be cremated. Q8: I think I would concentrate more on, if I was comforting him and he was a very, on a personal level, I would, I think I'd hold him rather than talk to him. I think that most of the words I'd say would be ill-chosen and inappropriate, you know, I'd say "I'm sorry" and I would be. If I had to say something, I'd say, I think I'd say whatever came to my mind but I would mostly be trying to communicate that I understood how deep their sorrow, how deep their loss was. I think I'd just, and that I was there for them, that I was... something like that. I don't think I'd try to explain or justify. If that was what they wanted, I would talk about whatever they want to talk about, but... I don't think I'd have much to say. Q9: I think that it's a universal experience and some people believe that it's the start of something but personally I just... that it's the end of life and it's a, I take it in purely biological... I don't think there's anything beyond. 3. CHILEAN SPANISH FEMALE Subject 1 Q1: [la muerte] es el fin de una etapa y de una vida. Q2: Despus de esta vida hay otra vida. Unos interpretan que la gente que se va al cielo, otros no creen en so, no creen que hay otra vida, que volvemos a la tierra, sa es la idea... hay unos que creen, que dicen que creen que hay reencarnacin, que uno es la reencarnacin de otra persona que ha vivido antes.

Cuando se toma la muerte con tranquilidad, muere ms tranquila la persona, no pasa esa etapa de desesperacin. Para m la tranquilidad es una de las cosas ms importantes...slo le pido a Dios que me d tranquilidad al morir. No creo que sea [la muerte] aceptada tan fcil; la gente dice, pero yo creo que en el momento de morir, nadie quiere morirse; uno a veces dice "me gustara morirme", qu s yo, "no quiero vivir", pero yo pienso que dado el momento, no debe ser fcil saber, sentir que [uno] se va a morir...porque, dejar todo lo que uno tiene ... las personas que uno quiere...yo tengo esta idea, yo pienso en la muerte, pienso que me voy a morir, no me gustara morirme, nadie yo creo quiere [morirse], pero tampoco pienso que voy a tener que vivir tantos aos, pero a m me pasa una cosa, de repente me pongo a pensar, que [xxx] a mis nietos por ejemplo, si los ir a ver, si los ir a ver casados, si les ir a conocer los hijos; so me preocupa, pero...me gustara verlos a todos grandes, entonces, ah es cuando me da, como te dijera, un poco de desesperacin; encuentro que no me gustara morirme hasta no verlos a todos ya formados, solteros, casados, con hijos; so me preocupa, no poder ver a mis nietas grandes. Por ejemplo, cualquier da me muriera y no alcanzara a ver a la F. o a la K., que estn ya en la edad de lolitas, de verlas ya en la Universidad, qu s yo; so me preocupa. Lo otro, lo material no, no me preocupa lo material que voy a dejar [al morir] sino que...mis nietos...ahora que tengo [una] bisnieta, entonces, de repente me da por pensar, digo yo, la N. es bisnieta ma y tiene 5 aos, y yo tengo 66, entonces a veces empiezo a sacar la cuenta; hasta qu edad la ir a ver, cuantos aos ms, ah pienso cuantos aos ms ir a vivir, hasta qu edad ir a ver a la N. que es la ms chiquitita. Claro que no me amargo ni nada, si no...pero, me hace pensar...no me deprime, porque pienso que es una cosa natural, pero ms que nada me gustara verlas crecer, grandes, verlas casadas, con casa, todas esa cosas. Q6: Morir tranquila. Tener tranquilidad al momento de morirse. Despus es una incgnita para m; no s lo que va a pasar; slo Dios no ms sabe. Q7: No s, no me importa...no tengo claro [el concepto]. No puedo imaginarme siquiera qu es lo que va a pasar...s que [uno] se va morir, todo el proceso de la muerte, s, pero todo lo que va a pasar despus no s, no tengo muy claro. Q8: Conformarla, darle tranquilidad, pensar que est descansando [la persona muerta], que si se muri es porque su destino... nadie lo puede cambiar el destino...pensar en lo bueno que debe haber tenido esa persona al lado de uno. Darle tranquilidad y conformarla, no ms. Q9: Como te dije, la muerte para mi es el fin de una etapa en la vida de las personas, a la cual todos, antes o despus, tenemos que llegar, unos primero, otros despus, pero es la ley de la vida, eso, no hay otra razn. [la muerte es] el viaje sin retorno. Subject 2 Q1: Bueno, para mi la muerte es como.. diremos un proceso de la vida misma, porque la muerte se origina por haber vivido, si no, no existira. Porque en realidad pienso que la muerte siempre debera llegar en momentos oportunos, no como llega, en forma sorpresiva. Porque as sera un poco ms justa la muerte, que llegara en quienes realmente necesitan irse y no lo que ha veces hace falta para la vida...final de un proceso...de el haber vivido o la muerte a veces se origina en forma sorpresiva por circunstancias especiales... es provocada por motivos de salud, mala salud, por accidentes... pero la muerte en s es una cosa a la cual pienso yo que no debiramos temerle, porque la muerte es una sorpresa dentro de la vida, y la vida misma est muy atada a la muerte, aunque la muerte para nosotros sea algo trgico, sea algo a veces que provoca mucho dolor en las personas, la muerte para m no existe, porque yo pienso que lo que existe es la vida, porque de la muerte nace otra vida, y as es un devenir constante de este proceso de vivir que nosotros llamamos...toda materia orgnica al disolverse se vuelca en otra vida, vuelve a nacer otra cosa de so, porque desde que la muerte se termina sufre un perodo de deterioro el organismo, ya sea vida de seres humanos, vida vegetal, vida animal, todo al terminarse por motivos de muerte...despus so...renacer en otra vida...todo la materia orgnica que se pudre por el proceso de muerte genera otra vida; por so para m la muerte es un mito. Q2: La idea ms comn que tiene la gente es que al morir desaparece todo, se le van los seres queridos, lo que se muere se destruye, se acab, y so es el fin. Esa es la idea ms comn, y por eso la gente sufre tanto, y para m...la muerte se lleva la materia pero queda algo, es una cosa que el ser humano tiene...el alma est latente siempre despus que nosotros sepultamos a un muerto...siempre deja como una huella, como una cosa que l que tiene cierta capacidad no se si espiritual o algn rasgo especial dentro de s percibe, que se ser que se fue, que lloramos, que acabamos de sepultar, no se fue para siempre, y siempre est como rondndonos, como presente en nuestras vidas. Q3: En una cosa que yo escrib est mi respuesta... la terminacin de una persona, de una materia orgnica cualquiera, no termina con la muerte. Nosotros llamamos muerte...a lo que desaparece de nuestro lado, como un finiquito de todo un proceso que x persona vivi, qu s yo o, diremos, en un jardn, las plantas que van, se secan, mueren, se marchitan o

92 se destruyen, incluso imagnate un rbol cuando se seca, seco, seco, da vida. Y el rbol muri, pero de sus deshechos nace otra vida. Q4: La muerte se lleva lo querido y se acab, y se fue la persona y para nunca ms y no les queda un solo consuelo a esas personas...la gente que no piensa as es la que piensa que no ve a sus seres queridos, pero piensa que siempre los rondan, que siempre los acompaan, y yo pienso que es as porque el ser humano es una cosa completamente diferente a toda la materia orgnica que existe en el universo, porque piensa, razona, tiene inquietudes, tiene vivencias, en fin, es una cosa muy completa, muy valiosa en el cosmos...la muerte no acaba con el hecho de que la persona deja de existir en determinado momento o rincn de este universo...que todo se acaba con ella...que la muerte se llev al ser querido y se acab... Q5: Yo pienso que la materia sufre ese deterioro que vemos con efectos de la muerte, sufre un deterioro fsico, de quedarse inmvil, de quedar inerte y empezar un proceso de descomposicin, pero en el mismo momento en que la persona deja de existir, diremos, sus facultades mentales, su corazn se paraliza, y llega la muerte, en ese momento algo ocurre en ese segundo; sale esa parte valiosa del ser humano, esa parte espiritual...y so nunca muere...yo no creo en la reencarnacin...porque para m la vida y todo lo que trae ese ser humano [el que nace] ha sido en ese momento mismo de la gestacin ya...ya penetr esa cosa que la trae...los espermios, qu s yo, en el proceso mismo de la gestacin, ya viene ese ser con eso, y mientras est viviendo ah en el vientre de la madre est teniendo lo que tiene que tener y cuando nace...no va a venir un espritu cualquiera y se le va meter para que sea reeencarnado...el espritu vuela hacia espacios siderales infinitos, pero tiene la facultad de transitar por el espacio, ir, volver, y viajar. Q6: Yo siempre cuando voy, sea quien sea; hace poco desgraciadamente tambin una amiga ma perdi a su madre. Era un ser que queramos mucho, se haca querer , era una buensima y gran mujer. Entonces yo cuando voy y doy un psame no lo doy como el comn de la gente; yo me acerco al ser querido, lo abrazo, lo estrecho y no digo nada hasta que yo me sereno un poco y ella tambin y le digo: "no te desesperes, ella ha muerto ac, pero nunca te va a abandonar, siempre te va a estar rondando, siempre te va a acompaar, siempre va a estar espiritualmente su presencia junto a ti". Ese es el psame que yo doy. Todos me dicen "gracias", y como que sienten un consuelo, ncreble, yo lo percibo en la gente...una vez, cuando falleci el pap de la ta [x], entonces, haba mucha pena yo llego y le doy el psame a la seora, y le digo, "no te angusties, que l nunca se va a ir de tu lado, siempre va a estar junto a ti, espiritualmente, el espritu va a vivir junto a ti siempre, hasta que t ests como dijeron ustedes al principio, "hasta que la muerte los separe", pero t quedaste ahora aqu, y l siempre te va a rondar, te va a acompaar y va a ser a lo mejor tu gua porque l va a hacer que penetren en tu pensamiento cosas lindas cuando t ests angustiada, cuando t ests desesperada...". Q7: En realidad so ya est en la respuesta... porque yo he reaccionado as frente a personas conocidas; lo que no te he contado es cmo he reaccionado frente a mis seres queridos, que los perd...en realidad viene ese tremendo espasmo del sufrimiento, de la angustia tremenda... de decirte pero por qu, por qu; porque lo primero que perd fue mi hermana de 22 aos; yo tena 25, 26...y para m fue un dolor muy inmenso, muy profundo, no lo poda entender; deca yo, no puede ser si ella est en la flor de la vida, por qu se va, por qu pas esto...me angusti mucho pero sobre mi angustia, sobre mi dolor, sobre mi pena, yo tena que ver por mis dos viejos que estaban pero totalmente deshechos, incluso se desmayaron, se abrazaron y se desmayaron; se me fueron los dos al suelo. y en ese momento yo tuve que hacer acopio pero de toda mi serenidad, de toda mi tranquilidad para correr, buscar algo como auxiliarlos y despus en el mismo suelo les di a beber una pcima, agua de azahar, volvi mi padre, volvi mi madre, les moj la carita y ah ya los pude sentar, y empezar a conformarlos y a decirles que no se poda hacer nada contra la muerte porque es lo nico que no puede impedir el hombre; cuando el momento de morir llega, nada...el hombre no ha podido vencer a la muerte; cuando llega el momento en que una persona se va, se va no ms...dolorosa por supuesto [la reaccin] porque s que no la voy a ver ms, si siempre es dolorosa...es la ausencia lo que la persona llora cuando el ser querido se muere o se va, la falta de su presencia. Q8: Que no lloraran por m, que no...que trataran de entender...que como yo soy un ser tan apegado a mi familia, es tanto lo que los quiero que nunca voy a dejar de estarlos rondando...capaz que yo los tenga [al lado] por mi pura fuerza de voluntad de querer estar siempre al lado de lo querido; entonces...siempre me van a tener, en algn momento me voy a hacer presente...que me canten cosas hermosas, algo positivo, no canciones de ultratumba ni de evanglicos, no, nada de eso, no...sino alguna de esas canciones comprometidas de Gatti, de Benedetti...y yo ira en el espacio escuchando mi cancin...Que pensaran que yo no me he ido y que como les voy a dejar muchos recuerdos, nunca me van a extraar; voy a estar siempre presente en muchas cosas, junto a todos los que han sentido algn afecto o cario por m. Q9: ...la muerte para m es un mito, no existe...de la muerte nace otra vida, diferente, pero otra vida. Entonces, an esos despojos de persona, de materia que uno deja, siempre va a crear una nueva forma, va a ir creando formas diferentes pero vida, vida...la parte espiritual siempre va a existir limpia, pura de toda esa materia que pudo haber hecho dao o haber recibido dao...la persona, al morir, se libera de todo so que le da...lo que se va hacia arriba es otra cosa muy diferente, la parte sublime del ser humano, la parte espiritual; so deja la materia y so es lo que queda, lo que perdura, lo que nunca deja de rondar a lo que quiere.

93 4. CHILEAN SPANISH MALE Subject 1: Q1: El fin de todo. T quieres que me extienda. Yo creo que con la muerte, no veo que haya otra cosa ms all de la muerte, no s si vienen otras preguntas al respecto, pero a m me asustaba mucho cuando chico, yo la primera vez que supe de so me puse a llorar, yo me acuerdo muy claro, en el momento yo estaba con mi mam y me tena tomado de la mano, estbamos donde vivamos en la calle Hurfanos, y me puse a llorar cuando supe mi mortalidad. O sea, era una cosa que nunca tena yo de conciencia, y yo le dije a mi mam que yo no me quera morir, pero mi mam me dijo, era muy pragmtica, me dijo que no, que todos tenamos que morir y que no era, y yo lloraba desconsoladamente y con el tiempo me he dado cuenta que es una cosa natural que, no s, es una parte ms all de la vida. No s si hay algo ms sobre ese mismo tema. Q2: Yo creo que la gente se asusta mucho e inventa cosas sobre la muerte y es muy fcil buscarle un ms all a la cosa, es mi idea, yo creo que, yo mismo, cuando era chico, te abrac la religin que me impusieron ah, la catlica, y creo que la abrac con mucho, bueno, como un nio, con mucha devocin y con mucho entusiasmo y as hice ayunos y cosas y creo que uno agarra papa de las cosas que quiera agarrar papa, es como cuando lo estafan a uno, en el fondo uno se deja estafar, porque uno escucha cosas tan bonitas que le dicen y es tan fcil hacerse rico y prosperar, que uno quiere que los estafen, quiere que lo engaen y so es, yo creo que la gente busca que la engaen, que alguien le diga, con ropa ad hoc, una facha ad hoc, una forma de lenguaje tambin muy especial, que le digan que hay un ms all, que uno, si se comporta de determinada forma, va a alcanzar una vida eterna junto a la divinidad y cosas. Q3: Ah, no! Cuando son amistades o gente conocida me impacta, lo lamento. Yo he tenido la desgracia de, se me han muerto dos ntimos amigos mos, uno cuando yo tena 20 aos, mi amigo tena 19, en un accidente en el cual yo estuve, un accidente automovilstico, y despus como a los 25, 26 aos se me muri otro amigo, que ramos ntimos, que era el que reemplaz a se, que era otro carreta ntimo, mi compadre, compadre de boca, gente que yo quera mucho y como todo amigo uno vuelca todas sus emociones, sus inquietudes, sus deseos, sus afanes en el amigo, como tambin es receptor de lo mismo de la otra persona, es la amistad, la cosa. He estado fatalizado un poco con ese sino de que se me han muerto esa gente. La muerte de mi padre me afect mucho tambin, la de mi madre fue especial, en fin, pero yo creo en la muerte ms bien uno acompaa al amigo cuando est vivo, o sea, la muerte del padre, de la esposa, del cnyuge, de la amiga, de esas cosas, o sea, yo voy al cementerio a acompaarlos, no al muerto, al muerto, ya no hay nada que hacer, yo no creo en esos mitos, pero s acompao al amigo cuando est dolido, como querra que me acompaasen si a m se me muriera alguien. Q4: Ninguna. Si ya estoy muerto ya, para que quiero ms si se acab ya. Hagan lo que quieran. Yo pienso que deberan cremarme, dicen que es ms caro que enterrarlo a uno pero an as, si es que hay algo que proveer, yo proveera mi incineracin y mis cenizas las desparramaran por ah en el campo, donde sea, en el mar, en cualquier lado, para que no estn molestndose en ir al cementerio. Yo no voy a los cementerios, ni creo en eso, tampoco me gustara, me da lo mismo en el fondo porque estoy muerto, pero no es mi honda que la gente me vaya a ver al cementerio, ni me deje flores, ni que recen, ni nada, so. Q5: Cul es la actitud ms positiva? O sea, cmo, no entiendo la pregunta, hay una calificacin ah. Yo creo que no es bueno, o sea, como es el fin de la vida es malo, todos los fines son, o sea, todo lo que termina es malo para lo que est. No lo veo positivo, ahora claro, si se tuviese una enfermedad dolorosa, una cosa, podra ser un alivio, pero eso tendra que verlo cuando lo tuviera, por so pedir la muerte, la eutanasia, una cosa as, pero como no me ha pasado, no s, no tengo opinin al respecto, pero en este momento yo creo que es malo, yo me asusto si alguien, si se me viene la muerte. Q6: Tendra que ser un fantico, que pensase que ms all de la vida nos espera algo superior y so, y si nos espera algo superior, igual, cul es el apuro, si total nos espera algo superior. Pero como yo no tengo fe, no creo, entonces no se me ocurre, o sea, se me ocurre la muerte, la muerte, el trmino, todo en s. Q7: Mira, dentro de las cosas que yo siempre peda cuando se pedan cosas, cuando yo era catlico, hay un montn de cosas que se piden a los santos y estas cosas y yo lo que peda siempre era una muerte serena. Porque no creo yo, porque pensndolo, como ponerme sereno frente a la muerte, claro, la gente ya cuando condenado a muerte o la van a matar o que se va a morir porque tiene una enfermedad mental tal vez tome una postura, de otra forma tendra una postura distinta, seguramente. Pero en este minuto, donde yo me siento sano, me siento bien, me siento con entusiasmo para seguir y tengo cosas pendientes, entonces pensar en la muerte ahora, no, no, no, claro. Me dara mucho susto. Q8: Es difcil. Hace poco se le muri un hijo a un amigo de nosotros que era tan querido como el padre y realmente no, me vi enfrentado a so, porque tuve que irlo a saludar y a darle mi psame y es un momento muy difcil. Creo que lo hice bien, pero lo hice bien en trminos de una sinceridad, de decirle no s qu decirte en estos momentos, creo que con los ojos, con la cara le dije ms que ninguna cosa, porque no estaba tan afligido de ver, so, qu decirle, no s, no estoy preparado para so. O sea, lo voy a enfrentar cada vez que tenga que, pero en todo caso confortarlos, ofrecerle todo lo que uno pueda ofrecerle, y qu ms le vas a decir, qu le podran decir a uno si se le muriera un hijo o su mujer. Q9: Mira, para redondearte, si yo creo en una cosa, yo creo, y honestamente si yo tuviese algn poder, si fuese un gobernante o alguien muy influyente, yo suprimira los cementerios. Yo encuentro una cosa de salvajes, una cosa de

94 gente que no est de acuerdo con la civilizacin actual. encuentro que enterrar muertos ahora que existe la forma de cremarlos o de que s yo, incluso de aprovecharlo si se puede, si todos los huesos, esas cosas, se pueden reciclar en forma, se sabe que el pelo y sus distintas... son excelentes fertilizantes, abonos y esas cosas, si so puede hacerse. Ahora esas cosas de las religiones, es terrible porque hacen todo de la muerte un mito, una cosa, ir conservando los cuerpos, yo no s qu conservan ah. Esa parte de los cementerios, esa parte yo la suprimira, yo la encuentro, yo creo que en cien aos ms so va a estar suprimido, esa es una cosa que ya va a ser un recuerdo, la gente atrasada de las pocas, stos son remanentes que quedan, todava quedan mausoleos, gente que le hacen unos homenajes. Yo me acuerdo que cuando yo estaba... entr a trabajar al empleo pblico, haba un gallo, judo tambin -yo soy medio judo tambin- los padres de l tenan un mausoleo, entonces un da que andaba apurado de plata dijo "Voy a vender". Vendi muy bien el mausoleo, porque siempre hay idiotas que compran esas cosas, sac a los viejos, los puso en unos nichos de esos perpetuos que duran cien aos y baratsimos los nichos, as que le sac cualquier plata, se compr una casa regia con piscina, con el mausoleo. Encontr yo... pero era de aplaudirlo, yo lo encontr fantstico. Esa es mi opinin que tengo al respecto, de mitificar a la muerte en ese sentido, o sea de hacerle toda una cosa, las dems opiniones seran opiniones religiosas. A los restos [no le asigno ningn valor], a las personas s. Si uno recuerda a un ser querido, yo recuerdo a muchos seres, mi padre es el ser muerto que ms he querido yo... lo recuerdo mucho, a veces hay momentos en que me emociono, cuando estoy solo, cuando alguna cosa me llama a recordarle, pero yo no hago... no voy a hacer un alarde. Mira, voy a llevar flores, me voy a vestir especial, que la gente me vea y que me fotografen como llevo flores a la tumba de mi padre, esas son vanidades y entonces, todo y esas palafrenarias yo encuentro, no s, yo no trato de herir a nadie que tenga algn sentimiento o idea religiosa, que son culturales, al respecto. Es mi idea, y es mi opinin en tu entrevista, es lo que yo sinceramente te puedo decir, creo que eso debiera manejarse ms civilizadamente. No s si quieres saber algo ms de lo que yo te he dicho. Yo creo que te he dicho todo lo que tengo que decir, si se me qued algo oscuro, si quieres me lo preguntas. Subject 2 Q1: Muerte para m es un cese de actividades, donde, el funcionamiento de uno se maneja principalmente en la funcin cerebral y eso se detiene y ah uno cae en un estado de... es decir, sueo, una prdida absoluta de la conciencia. Q2: Ms comn. Bueno, dentro de lo que yo me rodeo, digamos, se me ocurre que es por la parte religiosa, que se cree en la vida que contina despus en otra forma, el paraso, digamos lo que indican las religiones, la vida eterna, dentro de la generalidad de la gente. Q3: Bueno, en realidad, es impredecible como, diferentes actitudes, depende de la persona fallecida, es una cuestin totalmente inesperada, digamos que caes en un estado, una actitud as de letargo, no s, una cosa as, un estado en ese sentido, una torpeza en las labores normales, no s, la parte afectiva, sentimental, se siente deteriorada, la angustia que viene, ya en el suceso, la actitud normal que le sucede a cualquier persona que ha perdido a una persona conocida, a un ser querido. [Cuando no es una persona conocida] no es tanto, porque lo considero un hecho natural, de la vida cotidiana, por ltimo, dado el grado de amistad que pueda tener con una persona, el grado de conocimiento que puede tener con una persona, no me altera mayormente, como un familiar directo o un amigo. Q4: Bueno, la verdad es que nunca he pensado en algo as, pero me imagino que tratar de que descubran, de lo que hice yo, si es que dej algo, alguna enseanza, algo, un punto en mi personalidad que pueda servir para futuras generaciones, que no viv tan de balde, que se reconozca en m algn hecho que no sea tan vano, so esperara. Q5: La indiferencia, que no te altere la muerte de otra persona, de un semejante, ya sea conocido o desconocido. Claro, porque todos somos seres humanos y de alguna forma se supone que por sentido humanitario tiene que haber una actitud de reconocer en otras personas que somos todos personas, que vivimos en una sociedad, que formamos parte de ella, aunque para algunos sea bueno o malo, entonces tiene que conmover que muera un semejante a uno, sea conocido, enemigo, amigo, lo que sea, por el hecho nada ms de ser un ser humano. Entonces para m, es la indiferencia, la indiferencia frente al hecho. Q6: Positivo es justamente so, o sea reconocer los mritos que ha tenido en su trayectoria la persona que fallece, que a veces no estn muy bien claros y a veces no van dirigidos a un beneficio de grandes masas o de multitudes, digamos, sino que basta que radique nada ms que en funcin de las cosas buenas que haya hecho esa persona en su ncleo familiar solamente, personas de su ncleo familiar. Pienso que es algo positivo el hecho de ver que no slo basta con un bonito entierro, poner una bonita lpida, sino que recordar sus mritos, que ha tenido durante su vida, que ha debido tenerlos, todas las personas. Q7: El suceso mismo, no s. Yo me planteo en el sentido de que si es por muerte de enfermedad uno tiene un tiempo de acondicionamiento mental, se me ocurre, para prepararse para morir, para recibir [la muerte]. Ahora, si es un accidente violento, intempestivo, la prdida de... un desmayo, yo presumo por lo que me ha pasado, yo voy a morir por muerte de una enfermedad, ojal que no sea tan prolongada, entonces, no s yo, creo que voy a tener un tiempo de preparacin para el momento de... se me ocurre, por las enfermedades que yo he tenido, se me ocurre que me va a pasar -a menos que sea por un accidente violento- de acostumbrarme, cuando ya se me empiece a apagar el rayo de luz.

95 Q8: Explicarle, qu s yo, que es un camino natural de todas las personas porque su naturaleza es ser mortal y que las cosas no se acaban ah, o sea, lo que importa es los que se quedan vivos, por ejemplo, l es un miembro de la familia, no significa que se destruya la familia, o sea que, hay que recordarlo, sentirlo, emocionarse de repente, pero sacar fuerza y seguir batallando y seguir dndole color a la vida incluso en funcin a demostrar que ese hecho no lo va a apagar a uno, no lo va a frustrar, no le va a impedir desarrollar sus capacidades. Q9: Redondeando, yo lo tomo como un hecho natural en el cual, no s si existe una preparacin para ello en el sentido personal, se me ocurre que si uno tiene tiempo debera preocuparse un poquito de ordenar sus cosas para, llegado el momento de, incluso la parte material, me refiero... o sea, de no quedar tan desprovisto y crear un compromiso econmico a los dems, a los hijos, que se hacen cargo de uno en alguna medida, entonces si uno puede vislumbrar so, debera hacerlo. Pero el hecho mismo de la muerte tiene que suceder, es imposible impedirlo.

SECTION 3: TOPIC: ECONOMICS - MODE: WRITTEN

1. AMERICAN ENGLISH Phone firms pitch plan for U.S. network [title]. USA Today. April 16, 1993. 1B.

The telephone industry offered Thursday to invest $125 billion by 2000 to create a national "door-to-door information network" - if the Clinton administration frees it to develop new products and services. Representatives of the seven regional Bells, the trade association for 1,200 local telephone companies, and the Communications Workers of America presented Vice President Gore with a plan to link every U.S. home and business into a national information system. In return, the industry wants the federal government to remove restrictions preventing the Bell companies from providing long-distance service and manufacturing equipment. The restrictions have been controversial since the 1984 breakup of AT&T created the regional Bell companies. The local companies say removal would allow them to recoup their investments. Roy Neel, the vice president's chief of staff, says Gore reiterated the Clinton administration support for the broad goals of the proposal "to accelerate private investment in the nation's infrastructure." But Gore was not asked to make a commitment relaxing restrictions on the industry - and offered none. "He understands (the issue) is controversial," Neel says. Raymond Smith, chief executive officer of Bell Atlantic, says the proposal marks the first time the local telephone industry has united with "a common vision backed up by a specific commitment" for investment. "We have come together as an industry - management and labor - with a vision for the information age," he says. Smith says the industry would invest $125 billion by the end of the decade and $450 billion by 2015 to create an advanced information network. The network would make possible: Error! Marcador no definido. Telemedicine, providing enhanced diagnostic, research and administrative services to doctors and hospitals as well as improving in-home patient monitoring and care. Distance learning, linking every school with the Library of Congress and other libraries. Telecommuting, allowing users to work at home, reducing pollution, energy use and transportation costs. "Information is going to be the raw material of the 21st century, just as coal and steel and iron were of the 19th," says Smith. Competitors of the local telephone industry were quick to criticize the plan. "There is no mystery about who would pay for this - the telephone rate payers," says Peggy Laramie of the National Cable Television Association. AT&T supports the administration's call for an information superhighway. But the long-distance carrier opposes removing long-distance and manufacturing restrictions on the regional Bells as long as they enjoy local monopolies. "We have full-throttle competition in long-distance, but we don't have it in local," says AT&T's Herb Linnen. "If their monopoly goes away, our position is that the restrictions ought to go away, but we're a long way from seeing (that)." 2. CHILEAN SPANISH Una Semana Revuelta [ttulo]. El Mercurio. Santiago-Chile 20 Marzo 1994 - B1

Un tanto revuelta, por decir lo menos, estuvo esta semana. El caso Codelco casi pasa a segundo plano, luego de la suspensin de las transacciones de los ttulos de la Compaa de Telfonos de Chile, no slo en Santiago, sino tambin en Nueva York. [...] El caso de la CTC comenz el martes cuando la compaa decidi impugnar las tarifas telefnicas propuestas por el gobierno para el periodo 94-98. El argumento: ellas afectaran negativamente sus resultados, puesto que la

96 empresa haba proyectado un alza de tarifas, mientras que el Gobierno, una baja. Rpidamente, esta determinacin provoc una verdadera corrida en los mercados burstiles de Santiago y Nueva York, lo cual hizo que se decretara la suspensin de las transacciones de la empresa. La medida fue explicada como una manera de proteger a los inversionistas frente a las fuertes variaciones de precios. Esta medida primero se tom en Estados Unidos, por el intervalo de una hora. Al reanudarse las transacciones, el precio del ADR de CTC cay nada menos que 13,8 %, cerrando en 110,5 dlares. Nuevamente vino la suspensin de negocios. En Santiago, la Supertintendencia de Valores y Seguros decidi suspender las transacciones pasado el medioda y hasta el jueves, por estimar que la informacin entregada pro CTC era incompleta y no permita conocer el verdadero efecto que las nuevas tarifas tendran en los resultados de la empresa. La Compaa de Telfonos, adems de considerar que las nuevas tarifas impactan negativamente los resultados de la empresa, tambin consider que el Decreto Supremo N95 del 9 de marzo en el cual se fijan las tarifas, "no se ajusta a las bases tcnico-econmicas aprobadas, por lo cual ha impugnado su legalidad mediante una presentacin formal ante la Contralora, solicitndole se abstenga de tomar razn del mismo". La noticia de la suspensin llev a que el IPSA cayera 1,4 % el martes, ya que la incertidumbre se apoder de los agentes del mercado. Ello se explica porque varias de las empresas chilenas prontas a tener presencia en Wall Street estn sujetas a fijacin de tarifas por parte del estado, como son las del sector elctrico. La Contralora acogi la impugnacin efectuada por CTC y devolvi los antecedentes a la Subsecretara de Telecomunicaciones para que realizara un reestudio de las mismas. De tal manera que el Gobierno se encuentra preparando el informe solicitado por la Contralora, pero en ningn caso est negociando con la Compaa de Telfonos. De acuerdo a un comunicado del Ministerio de Transportes y Telecomunicaciones, en este marco se tom la decisin de solicitar a los peritos su opinin sobre algunas materias de tal modo de contar con mayores antecedentes en dicho informe. La Secretara de Estado dej muy en claro que la Contralora ha solicitado un informe sobre los puntos que justificaron la impugnacin del decreto tarifario por parte de CTC ante dicho organismo, negando de paso que el decreto en s hubiese sido rechazado. Por su parte, el ministro de Transporte (sic) y Telecomunicaciones, Narciso Irureta, seal que el Gobierno no aceptar las presiones de CTC para modificar el decreto sobre las tarifas del sector que regirn durante los prximos cinco aos. Indic, adems, que exista una campaa orquestada para impresionar a la opinin pblica y al gobierno respecto de los perjuicios que causaran las tarifas sobre los resultados de CTC. A su juicio, la empresa se apresur en informar mediante hecho esencial a la Supertintendencia y a los mercados burstiles internacionales que las tarifas telefnicas que se encontraban en Contralora iban a afectar su rentabilidad. En tanto, la CTC afirm que el Gobierno cometi algunos errores en los clculos y que de aqu se deriva la impugnacin que efectu ante la Contralora. Claudio Garca, vicepresidente de finanzas de la empresa, explic a diversos analistas de Wall Street, mediante una teleconferencia, que el ministerio de Transportes y Telecomunicaciones estaba buscando informacin financiera precisa sobre temas que la compaa est reacia a difundir en forma pblica. Segn trascendi, con las nuevas tarifas, los ingresos para la Compaa podran reducirse en $34 mil millones. Ello se deduce de la diferencia entre lo que plantea el decreto del Gobierno para las tarifas telefnicas y lo que pide CTC, la cual alcanza a 20 mil pesos por lnea. El clculo se basa en que las autoridades fijaron un ingreso promedio por lnea para los prximos cinco aos de 120 mil pesos, en tanto que la compaa solicit uno de 140 mil pesos. Considerando que existiran 1,7 millones de lneas, se llega a la diferencia entre ambas posiciones de $34 mil millones anuales. Levantan Suspensin (sub-title) El viernes, el Superintendente de Valores y Seguros, Daniel Yarur, inform acerca del fin de la suspensin de las transacciones de los ttulos de CTC en el mercado local, debido a que la empresa cumpli con el requisito de complementar la informacin requerida por ese organismo, respecto del efecto que tendran las nuevas tarifas sobre los resultados de la compaa. El hecho esencial en una de sus partes indica que "informaciones recogidas por agencias de prensa han sealado que hay una diferencia en relacin a los ingresos entre el decreto propuesto y el planteamiento de la Compaa del orden de 34 mil millones de pesos anuales. El directorio, ante esa informacin, advierte que si bien esta apreciacin tiene fundamento, es necesario considerar que en atencin a que el efecto de las observaciones sometidas a la consideracin de la comisin de peritos, no se conocer hasta que sta haya entregado su informe, es prematuro entregar una cuantificacin de los efectos financieros que eventualmente se pudieran producir". Yarur dijo que con esta informacin adicional "se ha dado satisfaccin a la necesidad que tiene el mercado de contar con informacin para tomar sus decisiones, sobe base cierta y no de incertidumbre".

97 De esta forma, las acciones de CTC que reiniciaron sus transacciones el viernes pasado, cayeron en 10,74 % en el mercado local con respecto al martes cuando se implant la suspensin, mientras que en Nueva York el ADR de CTC pas de US$100,5, precio al que cerr el martes pasado, a US$ 93, lo que implic una baja de 7,46 %. El mercado burstil nacional, en general, se vio afectado por el caso de la CTC, ya que se gener un alto grado de incertidumbre respecto a los efectos que pudiera tener en otras acciones, especialmente en las que cotizan ADR o estn a punto de hacerlo. Incluso se hablaba de que este hecho podra provocar cierta desconfianza de parte de los inversionistas extranjeros respecto de la seriedad de los instrumentos chilenos que se transan en el mercado norteamericano. Por esta razn estaran a la espera de que se clarifique este tema.

SECTION 4: TOPIC: POLITICS - MODE: WRITTEN

1. AMERICAN ENGLISH A Postwar Agenda. A new balance of power could create prospects for progress in the Arab-Israeli conflict [title]. Henry Kissinger [author]. Newsweek. January 28, 1991. [...] In a real crisis, the top people are very much alone. Many officials head for the foxholes, occasionally throwing out memoranda designed to absolve them of responsibility for their actions. Usually there are only two or three people willing to make tough decisions. President Bush has earned the nation's gratitude for his fortitude in holding the coalition together during the months of buildup, gaining Congressional backing and steering the country to the point where allied and domestic support coincided. But even in the best-planned operation, there are hours in which a leader in his position must wonder why he ever expended so much time and effort trying to get elected. I also thought of the challenges the president will have to face once the war is over. After all, the purpose of victory is to ensure a lasting peace. To that end, The United States should move to implement a number of measures in the immediate aftermath of the war: - An arms-control policy for the gulf to prevent a recurrence of the weapons race that contributed to this conflict. - Some kind of agreement on economic and social development under the auspices of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which embraces the nations of the gulf. Other Arab allies of the Unites States could join this effort, which would be designed to defuse the argument that this is a conflict of rich against poor. - A process to address the original Iraqi-Kuwaiti dispute. Direct negotiations between two countries would be inherently unbalanced, because of the disparity in their size, which has only been compounded by Iraq's invasion pillaging of its neighbor. But some issues are susceptible to legal determination, such as drilling rights or the location of the boundaries. These could be put to the International Court of Justice, while remaining issues are handled within the framework of the Gulf Cooperation Council. - An international program for imposing tough sanctions against terrorism. The world must not again stand impotently transfixed by thousands of hostages. Countries harboring terrorist groups must be confronted with several reprisals, including military measures if other pressures fail. Over the long run, our biggest challenge will be to preserve the new balance of power that will emerge from this conflict. And that will not prove easy, given conventional American thinking about foreign policy. Today, it translates into the notion of "a new world order," which would emerge from a set of legal arrangements and be safeguarded by collective security. The problem with such an approach is that it assumes that every nation perceives every challenge to the international order in the same way, and is prepared to run the same risks to preserve it. In fact, the new order will see many centers of power, both within regions and between them. These power centers reflect different histories and perceptions. In such a world, peace can be maintained in only two ways: by domination or by equilibrium. The United States neither wants to dominate, nor is it any longer able to do so. Therefore, we need to rely on a balance of power, globally as well as regionally. We must prevent situations where the radical countries are tempted by some vacuum every few years, forcing us to replay to the same crises, albeit with different actors. This is why, in the final analysis, all the so-called diplomatic options would have made matters worse. Each would have left Iraq in a military dominant position. None addressed the root problem of the gulf's lack of security, which drew 415,000 Americans into the region in the first place -a deployment that certified the gap in military capability between Iraq and the moderate Arab countries. Any diplomatic solution that did not produce a dramatic reduction of Iraq's military power would have been a victory for Saddam Hussein. From then on, he would not have needed to engage in actual physical aggression. He could have left Iraq's demonstrated superiority speaks for itself, progressively undermining the governments that supported the United States. He would have been able to exploit his position within OPEC to achieve an increase in oil prices, as well as a greater share of production. These two steps

98 would have given Iraq vast additional resources to increase its already huge military buildup, including nuclear and missile programs. The United States would have been left with the choice of keeping major ground forces in the gulf, or of desestabilizing the region by withdrawal. The practical result of the military operations now in motion will be to bring into balance the military capability of Iraq against its neighbors in the gulf. Yet ironically, maintaining equilibrium in the region requires us to navigate between a solution that leaves Iraq too strong and an outcome that would leave Iraq too weak. After all, one of the causes of the present crisis is the onesided way the Western nations rushed to the defense of Iraq in its war against Iran, forgetting that if Iran was excessively weakened Iraq might become the next aggressor. It would be ironic if another bout of tunnel vision produced an Iraq so weak that its neighbors, especially Iran, seek to refill the vacuum. Ideally, one military goal should be to pull the teeth of Iraq's offensive capability without destroying its capacity to resist invasion from covetous neighbors. We should take care that Scud missiles are not re-introduced. We should prevent Iraq from importing high-technology equipment, including high-performance aircraft with long ranges, and from reacquiring the means to manufacture biological and nuclear weapons. However, Iraq's capacity to defend itself with conventional weapons against ground attack from its neighbors would in the long run not be a threat to stability but a contribution to it. The new balance of power cannot be based on the permanent presence of American ground forces. This was the weakness of diplomatic solutions that would have kept Iraq's military preponderance intact. A major Western force in the areas would inevitably become the target of radical and nationalist agitation. The cultural gap between even the bestbehaved American troops and the local population is unbridgeable. After a brief period, American ground forces would be considered foreign intruders. There would be a repetition of our experiences in Lebanon, including terrorism and sabotage. American ground forces should be withdrawn after victory; residual forces should be stationed beyond the horizon -at sea or perhaps at a few remote air bases. Any monitoring of Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait should be done by Arab members of the coalition. Military equilibrium, however, cannot be the sole aim of the American policy in the gulf. It is essential that America learn to become less dependent on oil and generate a viable energy program. We cannot suffer through an energy crisis every decade. We should stress conservation and develop alternative sources of energy, avoiding the selfindulgent attitudes of the 1980s, when plentiful oil caused the search for alternative energy sources to be largely abandoned. We must also remember the possibility of renewed Soviet designs on the region. For the time being, domestic problems keep the Soviets from running any significant foreign risks. But 200 years of Russian expansionism toward the gulf indicate a certain proclivity. And this drive may be compounded as Moscow's preoccupation with its more than 50 million Muslim citizens grows. After some domestic equilibrium is restored, the Kremlin may become more active in the Middle East -especially in Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and Turkey, which border the Soviet Union. The intensity of that thrust will depend on internal developments within the Soviet Union. If the Muslim republics remain Soviet, Moscow will be wary of Muslim radicalism lest it inflame its own Muslim population. But if the Muslim republics break off and become independent, Moscow will seek favor in the breakaway states by embracing Islamic radicalism -especially if the Muslim world turns more extremist. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, a new balance of power will revive prospects for progress on the ArabIsraeli conflict. A peace progress dominated by Saddam Hussein, or heavily dominated by him, would have been a debacle. For it would have taught the lesson that radicalism, terrorism and force are the road to diplomatic progress in the Middle East. This is why President Bush was right in resisting the linkage of the Kuwait and Palestinian problems. But with Saddam defeated, moderate Arab leaders will gain in stature, America's credibility will be enhanced and Israel will have a breathing space. This new equation should be translated into a major diplomatic effort within a few months of victory. Far for amounting to linkage and a submission to black-mail, such a move, after Saddam has been defeated, should be viewed as an opportunity resulting from the success of the moderate forces. [...] I am very skeptical about an international conference. For United States would be totally isolated at such a forum. The behaviour of France just prior to the gulf war is a small foretaste of what would happen. Instead of being a mediator, America would be maneuvered into the role of Israel's lawyer, while Israel would regard any independent position we took as a betrayal of its interests. No sensible nation would voluntarily throw itself into such a maelstrom. Since everything depends on our influence with Israel anyway, I would prefer a diplomatic process in which the United States the moderate Arab countries and Israel are the principal participants. [...] For its own sake, Israel must find a middle way. And there is no better moment to do that when its most dangerous enemy has been defeated. I do not envy the American negotiator assigned the task of distilling an interim settlement from the confusing passions of the Middle East. Still, with Iraq's military capacity reduced, the moderate Arab leaders, as well as Israel, should be able to turn to the peace process with authority and confidence. President Mubarak of Egypt, King Fahd of Saudi Arabia -and even King Hussein of Jordan, whatever the maneuvers imposed by his vulnerability- are unusually

99 intelligent and prudent. Even President Assad of Syria, by no means a moderate, signed an interim agreement with respect to the Golan Heights which has been in force for 17 years and has been meticulously observed. All these leaders might in the end go along with an intermediate approach as the only way to break an even more dangerous deadlock. And there are surely Israeli leaders, who recognize that a gradual approach will provide their best prospect for a satisfactory outcome -especially when the moderate Arabs are triumphant and radical Arabs are in retreat. America should act as a mediator in this effort, having earned the trust of both sides. Our initial challenge may well be philosophical. The best way to produce a successful negotiation is to advance a new concept, to convince both sides that the proposed new course serves their common interest. If that demonstration cannot be made, no negotiating gimmick can serve as a substitute. 2. CHILEAN SPANISH El Mapa de la Postguerra - Realineamientos para un nuevo orden en el golfo [ttulo]. Carlos Monge [autor] Apsi 378. Santiago de Chile. Febrero - marzo 1991. "Las voces constructivas que se oirn despus de la guerra no sern las de los pases que tuvieron participacin hasta ahora", advirti, con acento proftico, el embajador estadounidense en Brasil, Richard Melton. El mensaje, en realidad dirigido al Planalto, que mantuvo una tozuda neutralidad durante el conflicto, era vlido en rigor para naciones de cualquier latitud geogrfica: un da la guerra en el Golfo terminara, con el resultado que fuera, y llegara la hora de pasar lista a aliados, enemigos e indiferentes. Ya lo dijo Melton: "Para actuar como un miembro del Primer Mundo hay que asumir responsabilidades". [...] Todo vale a la hora de configurar un nuevo ordenamiento planetario, en el que Estados unidos ha asumido el rol de gendarme, tras desaparecer el equilibrio bipolar con el fin de la guerra fra y el hundimiento del sistema sovitico. La paradoja, sin embargo, es que el alicado oso ruso, sacudido por convulsiones internas, ha renacido de sus tempranas cenizas y meti baza en el asunto con una propuesta de paz que -hasta el cierre de esta edicin- amenazaba desmantelar el tinglado del escenario blico como el nico posible para dirimir la crisis [...]. Queda por ver, sin embargo, qu har su contraparte. Es posible desmontar, de un da para otro, una maquinaria militar armada pacientemente siete meses, cuando los generales y estrategas que la dirigen slo avizoran un triunfo y no han conseguido los objetivos que se plantearon? Suponer esto como posible, sin crujidos en la estructura ni sacudones, es lo mismo que pretender frenar de golpe un auto que marcha a 180 kilmetros por hora. Para Washington, y esto no es un misterio para nadie, la retirada iraqu de Kuwait pas a ser un objetivo secundario, en la medida en que los acontecimientos tomaron su propia dinmica. Lo esencial -un secreto a voces- fue la destruccin total de la infraestructura militar manejada por el demonizado Sadam Husein [sic]. Para ello no se escatimaron esfuerzos: millares de toneladas de explosivos (18.000 slo en la primera semana de hostilidades) se arrojaron sobre Irak, haciendo recordar una frase clebre pronunciada por el general Lemay en Vietnam. Aquella que deca que Estados Unidos era capaz de reducir con su tecnologa destructiva a cualquier pas del mundo a la "edad de piedra". Los otros dos grandes objetivos de la cruzada tambin son muy claros: por un lado, trazar un nuevo balance del poder en una zona en la que tradicionalmente han existido dos potencias hegemnicas, Irak e Irn, aunque hay otras con apetencias subyacentes; y, por otra parte, dominar los grifos de las riquezas petroleras, objetivo no menos importante que los otros. [...]Arma de doble filo, no obstante, sta de la guerra. Segn el historiador estadounidense Paul Kennedy, los grandes imperios -romano, espaol, otomano o ingls- entraron en decadencia cuando su necesidad de proyectar su poder militar exceda su capacidad de desarrollar o aun de renovar sus fuerzas productivas. Decadencia a la que el imperio americano, de acuerdo a Kennedy, hizo su ingreso tras la derrota de Vietnam y de la [que] no ha podido liberarse. La era Reagan, se sabe, fue la de recobrar el orgullo perdido mediante un "nuevo patriotismo" exacerbado por Rambos que luchan para devolverle su dignidad a la bandera de las barras y las estrellas. Bush, el hombre de la distensin ante un Este que lim sus dientes, llev a la prctica el "neoglobalismo" reaganiano en Panam o en el Golfo Prsico, movido en este ltimo caso, segn asegura el semanario conservador ingls The Economist (nada sospechoso de coqueteos con la Izquierda) por el deseo de "asegurar su reeleccin en 1992". Barajar y dar de nuevo [subttulo] Las ltimas novedades diplomticas suponen (pase lo que pase) una redistribucin de los naipes. Japn, en principio, ya puso "s" y "peros" a su anunciado Plan Marshall para la reconstruccin del Medio Oriente, incluido Irak, en la postguerra. [...] Para los nipones, como para muchos pases rabes (en especial las seis monarquas que conforman el Consejo de Cooperacin del Golfo: Arabia Saudita, Emiratos Arabes Unidos, Kuwait, Omn, Qatar y Bahrein), Sadam [sic] es la "bestia negra" que debe desaparecer del mapa por su eventual capacidad de convertirse en el lder de un renacido panarabismo. Ms lejos del escenario inmediato del conflicto, el gobierno sirio de Hafez el - Assad propici a travs de un editorial del diario oficialista Al Thawra un golpe de estado, sugiriendo que "el Ejrcito y el pueblo iraqu deben

100 liquidarlo a sangre fra". Slo Egipto, con 35 mil soldados en la coalicin antiiraqu el Mar Rojo y el Canal de Suez de por medio, podra tolerar su supervivencia. En tanto, los pases del Mahgreb (norte de frica) y Jordania, con su 60 por ciento de poblacin palestina, tendran menos problemas an para soportar este cuadro tras haber simpatizado abierta o soterradamente con la causa de Bagdad. El trago ms amargo, en caso de prosperar el camino de desescalada de las tensiones que propone el llamado plan Gorbachov, ser sin duda para George Bush, que no sabe si aceptar de buena gana que le roben el papel del sheriff del desierto. Bush iba por Husein [sic], de eso no cabe duda, y es difcil pensar que se ha de conformar con un "borrn y cuenta nueva", luego de haberlo comparado con Hitler, Stalin y decir que era un "peligro para la humanidad" que en un ao iba a contar con armas nucleares. "El (Bush) es como el capitn Ahab mirando a Moby Dick. Est completamente obsesionado con Sadam", declar a Newsweek Edward Said, profesor de Literatura en Columbia y miembro independiente del partido palestino en el exilio. En rigor, esos temores no son slo propios. Apenas la URSS comenz a desmarcarse bajo presin del bloque occidental -a juicio de algunos analistas de sectores conservadores del Kremlin y de los mandos del Ejrcito Rojo-, en varios pases del Golfo surgi el temor a un posible eje Bagdad-Tehern-Mosc. Visin maniquea y reduccionista que omite considerar que tanto Irn y la Unin Sovitica tienen intereses geopolticos propios en esa rea, y que la extensin del conflicto podra verlos alcanzados por sus llamas. Ms an, improvisados geoestrategas proclamaron que podran emerger, al cabo de la guerra, dos reas de influencia: una, sovitica, que englobara a Irn e Irak, y otra, prooccidental, en la que cerraran filas las monarquas del Golfo y los pases rabes de la coalicin anti-Bagdad: Siria, Egipto, Marruecos y Pakistn. Estos dos ltimos con reservas, pues tanto el rey Hassn como los gobernantes de Islamabad han visto cmo su alineamiento con "los infieles" les ha creado tensiones difciles de sobrellevar en el plano interno. El esquema no resiste, sin embargo, anlisis medianamente informados. Para Irn, a pesar de que su "hombre fuerte", Al Akbar Hachemi Rafsandjani, viaj el ao pasado a Mosc, recomponiendo una relacin daada por la cuestin Afganistn, entre otras, la atea Unin Sovitica sigue siendo tan distante como el "Gran Satn" (Estados Unidos) Cierto: Sadam le devolvi en 24 horas a Tehern los territorios conquistados de Chatt - el Arab, tras una larga y penosa guerra de nueve aos. Irn le devolvi la mano, aceptando que la fuerza area iraqu pusiera a salvo en su territorio a la parte ms moderna de su dotacin de aviones: al menos 120 MIG 29, Mirage F1 y Sukhoi 24, en cuanto comenzaron los bombardeos aliados, y como carta de reserva bajo la manga. Pero esto no deja de ser un hbil e inteligente ajedrez en el que los dos ex rivales explotan sabiamente sus contradicciones internas. Irn, que prohja al Ad - Dawa, partido de la oposicin islmica iraqu en el exilio, suea con una mayor ingerencia shita en la reparticin del poder en Bagdad. E Irak, a su vez con su poltica de buena vecindad, procura que ganen espacio en la poltica iran sectores radicales como los del ex ministro del Interior, Al Akbar Mohtachemi, que procura enrolarse en la Jihad encabezada por Husein contra el sionismo y el imperialismo. Apuestas fuertes (subttulo) Irn sale del leprosario y Occidente se arrepiente de haber armado al "monstruo" que detendra la revolucin integrista exportada por Jomeini. La historia es lbil, como las alianzas. Turqua, cabeza de puente de Occidente en el rea, tambin juega a ganador, doble o nada, al facilitar la base de Incirlik para el despegue de aviones que bombardean Irak en la versin terrestre de "La Guerra de las Galaxias". "Es muy importante que Turqua nos deje usar sus bases. Esto nos permitir golpear a Irak por la puerta de atrs", anticipa el general George Christ, antiguo comandante de la Fuerza Mvil (Comando Central) de Estados Unidos. Se ponen a disposicin de la alianza tambin las bases de Mus y Batman. El presidente turco Turgut Ozal adelanta, a su vez, el contenido de la factura que se apresta a pasar por estos servicios. Ankara aspira a encabezar una confederacin turca-kurda rabe, que juegue el papel de gendarme regional y restaure a su manera las glorias del imperio otomano, al ser establecida en Irak despus del cese de las hostilidades. Su vicepresidente, Kamran Inan, va an ms lejos: recuerda que Turqua, con la represa de Ataturk, controlar las aguas del Eufrates que bajan hacia Siria e Irak. "En los prximos 25 aos -subraya- el agua va a tener ms importancia que el petrleo, y quince pases rabes no tienen una gota de agua". La OLP es otro sector que se involucra a fondo. A despecho del corte de fondos que le significa privarse del flujo de "petrodlares" de los reinos del Golfo toma una firme posicin junto a Husein. Sadam ha restaurado el orgullo rabe con su "nasserismo" remozado y, sobre todo, a los ojos de los palestinos, ha puesto el problema de los territorios ocupados en la agenda del debate mundial. En la otra orilla, Israel tambin es sacudido por la onda expansiva del conflicto. Scuds, autocontencin y nuevos enfoques para el problema palestino. El lder laborista Shimon Peres elabora un plan para la regin en la postguerra, que incluye reuniones internacionales en las que participen representantes de Gaza y Cisjordania, aunque no a ttulo de la OLP como tal. Idea no muy lejana a la de una conferencia promovida por Francia y la URSS para tratar el tema. Y las secuelas de la guerra se extienden. Desde Argel, donde el Frente de Salvacin Islmica cobra nuevos bros montado en la ola del auge integrista, hasta Fez o Casablanca. Desde Yemen hasta Sudn, con una sola certeza: la de que despus de este terremoto el mundo rabe ya no volver a ser el mismo. Para bien o para mal. Y que un nuevo orden deber evitar el peligro de una "libanizacin" de toda la regin si se altera el delicado equilibrio de poderes.

[love]'s complete and utter desire from the self to go to the house a lot my undying love for her something like that that was about as far as I went next summer I still see her every summer It was pretty much... love that's all I seem to have some disagreement on that if they can just get through the difficult initial stages of [relationship] constructing a love relationship which I think is difficult to do I can live without a woman at this moment as time goes by the need to have somebody by your side the love from parents, my friends in a romantic sense I had a very good friend at school I'm kind of afraid to have fantasies I don't want to jinx the relationships we've messed around a little bit we have had tentative relationships there's something between us we've never had a concrete relationship I've never had sex with her never made love to her I won't see her until next July that's a long time I better try not to think too hard A lot of times when we are having a conversation I'll start saying something It's kind of strange something is going to work out between us I am not personally inclined to [suicide] to take that course [suicide] at some point in certain circumstances I have some friends at school [friends] who are in a relationship the girl actually studied down here what he wants to do we are all friends in a group of friends for the last two years they started going out last year about some time in the middle of the first semester [they lived together] half of last year he has a very unique personal style there are some things about her from what I've seen and experienced she's a little less monogamous than he is She's a little more inclined to [infidelity] she needs intimate contact in her life monogamy excludes anything anything coming in between the relationship the only thing that you can really expect from [somebody] the person you're with [the only thing] is... exclusiveness it's easy to have opinions like that I think it's a little bit/ a lot neurotic opinions like that can grow the consciousness tells him funny things he would probably be able to overcome those feelings if he would get to know more women personally feeling their magnetic power around them women who perhaps play games with their magnetic powers of attraction that's a very small area men who play the same game to be surrounded by femme fatale love

to have some kind of powerful love love needs to develop slowly [development] without too much pressure [development] can't be too fast love is a relationship between two people a feeling of voluntary obligation It's a feeling that I can't really define or describe what kind it is romantic love that's a rather different...thing It's a feeling you get [feeling you get] from doing something my first love experience started [experience] started in my last year four years ago I met her at the last semester We started going out going to movies we first [do something] [we go to] each other's parties [we] talked a lot going to movies and stuff [a fact] which is kind of weird we go to a school we spent a lot of time together/ ridiculous amount of time about two years this happened until I left for here she left last Sunday "...I'm about to go" She's gone for two and a half years it's very weird what's going to happen I spend... my whole... university career with her make sure that [something] you're definitely with the right person if we're apart for a long period of time a long period of time we still have the same feelings for each other that would definitely mean something I don't say [it means] marriage let's see what happens what happens I still havent't met anybody depending on the age [to begin] something so serious it has to be... at least long enough to get to know the person a relationship... lasts for a while For me I'm the long lasting relationship kind of person At present it's a strange question it's the first time it's really hard [to be alone] it seems like it is really important a big, big factor I can't do without her I've had the feeling as time went on I still love her a lot I see more myself as an independent person you don't have to be with someone you can be by yourself it's still really important here, right now in a different way than it was love with plenty of other people when you have a girlfriend it's kind of like you block out some girls and friends the person you love completely with no one else around and still be completely happy being... away from everything a beautiful landscape growing our own food doing everything yourself being completely independent at the same time you need friends you can't be...completely secluded with someone be secluded or something from the city It's a good question It's a tough question I would

the biggest fear [if he died] I'd go crazy everybody would be shocked [my death] would ruin his life in many ways I'm his creation he's put so much energy/time into me he would be absolutely

time has come you're ready to end or to move on my friends would be about to die at that time of your life opportunities are waiting her you've lived a complete life you had a family a way of continuing on earth you're going to come back people that a have a faith life continues you can have some deep religious beliefs you would still have doubts there's something bigger out there than what we see my own death the death of people you become part of the ecosystem the one sure thing that you're going to have in your life a lack of spirituality/of religious belief everything is focused

been hurt in an accident you're dying in misery/in pain you lose consciousness until that point [when you die] one thing about dying people that are left after you the saddest thing about death all the opportunities you're going to have things that you are going to do life is so short a short amount of time they have more time you can't take any one's pain part of life is pain you cannot give
