description This paper intends to analyze cases of possible nominal regular polysemy by metaphor. The analysis of these cases involves a review of the classical definition of regular polysemy proposed by Apresjan and developed primarily for metonymic extensions. From the advanced search in Diccionario del español de América y España (Dictionary of the Spanish of America and Spain) of possible cases of regular polysemy that respond to person and sensation hyperonymes, metaphorical and metonymic extensions are studied and the semantic dimensions in which the senses can diverge are analized. It is hypothesized that for there to be regular polysemy by metaphor, the senses of a group of lexical items must differ in paralell, which implies agreeing on three variables: a) the directionality of the polysemy, b) the non-descriptive meaning and c) the aspect on which similarity is based. It is concluded that there are three classes of regular polysemy by metaphor, although groups that exhibit an intermediate status are also detected.

El presente trabajo se propone analizar casos de posible polisemia regular nominal por metáfora. El análisis de estos casos conlleva una revisión de la definición clásica de polisemia regular propuesta por Apresjan y desarrollada fundamentalmente para extensiones metonímicas. A partir de la búsqueda avanzada en el Diccionario del español de América y España de posibles casos de polisemia regular que responden a los hiperónimos persona y sensación, se estudian las extensiones metafóricas y metonímicas y se analizan las dimensiones semánticas en las que los sentidos pueden divergir. Se sostiene la hipótesis de que para que exista polisemia regular por metáfora, los sentidos de un grupo de ítems léxicos deben diferir de manera paralela, lo que implica coincidir en tres variables: a) la direccionalidad de la polisemia, b) el significado no descriptivo y c) el aspecto en que se basa la similitud. Se concluye que existen clases de polisemia regular por metáfora, aunque también se detectan grupos que exhiben un estatuto intermedio. Cet article vise à analyser les cas de possible polysémie nominale régulière par métaphore. L’analyse de ces cas engage une révision de la définition classique de polysémie régulière proposée par Apresjan et développée principalement pour les extensions métonymiques. Ayant comme point de départ la quête approfondie, dans le Dictionnaire de l’Espagnol d’Amérique et d’Espagne, des cas possibles de polysémie régulière qui répondent aux hyperonymes personne et sensation, on étudie les extensions métaphoriques et métonymiques et on analyse les dimensions sémantiques dans lesquelles les sens peuvent diverger. On propose l’hypothèse comme quoi, pour qu’il y ait une polysémie régulière par métaphore, les sens d’un ensemble d’éléments d’items lexicaux doivent différer de manière parallèle, ce qui implique de travailler une coïncidence sur trois variables, à savoir: a) la directionnalité de la polysémie, b) le sens non descriptif et c) l’aspect sur lequel la similitude s’appuie. Il est conclu qu’il existe des classes de polysémie régulière par métaphore, bien que des ensembles présentant un statut intermédiaire soient également repérés Este artigo pretende analisar casos de possível polissemia nominal regular por metáfora. A análise desses casos envolve uma revisão da definição clássica de polissemia regular proposta por Apresjan e desenvolvida principalmente para extensões metonímicas. A partir da pesquisa avançada no dicionário de espanhol da América e da Espanha, de possíveis casos de polissemia regular que respondem a hiperônimos pessoa e sentir, são estudadas extensões metafóricas e metonímicas e analisadas as dimensões semânticas em que os sentidos podem divergir. Supõe-se que, para que a polissemia regular por metáfora exista, os sentidos de um grupo de itens lexicais devem diferir em paralelo, o que implica concordar em três variáveis: a) a direcionalidade da polissemia, o significado não descritivo e c) o aspecto em que a semelhança se baseia. Conclui-se que existem classes de polissemia regular por metáfora, embora também sejam detectados grupos que exibem status intermediário Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2020-02-27 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf application/xml https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/linguistica_hispanica/article/view/10189 10.19053/0121053X.n35.2020.10189 Cuadernos de Lingüística Hispánica; No. 35: January-June 2020; 19-36 Cuadernos de Lingüística Hispánica; Núm. 35: (Enero-Junio de 2020); 19-36 2346-1829 0121-053X spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/linguistica_hispanica/article/view/10189/8847 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/linguistica_hispanica/article/view/10189/10183 Copyright (c) 2020 Cuadernos de Lingüística Hispánica
