PhD dissertation, RWTH Aachen University. <[URL]> (Last accessed on 8 June 2018).), this paper critically examines the role of iconicity in selected lines from Shakespeare’s Sonnets capitalizing on the passage of Time-Death and their corresponding translations in present-day Spanish and Italian. Specifically, drawing on Cognitive Construction Grammar ( 2006. Constructions at Work: The Nature of Generalization in Language. New York: Oxford University Press.Google Scholar logo with link to Google Scholar) and Contrastive Construction Grammar (Boas, Hans C. (ed.). 2010a. Contrastive Studies in Construction Grammar (Constructional Approaches to Language 10). Amsterdam and Philadelphia: John Benjamins. Google Scholar logo with link to Google Scholar; Boas, Hans C. & Francisco Gonzálvez-García (eds). 2014. Romance Perspectives on Construction Grammar (Constructional Approaches to Language 15). Amsterdam and Philadelphia: John Benjamins. Google Scholar logo with link to Google Scholar), I focus on instances of secondary predication with verbs of sensory perception, causative constructions and aspectual constructions iconically connected with the above-mentioned motif and demonstrate that iconicity emerges as a very useful communicative ‘filter’ that can help to minimize any undesirable arbitrariness which may obscure the semantico-pragmatic interpretation of the source text and/or its rendering into the target text.
