Résumé
Loin d'être un substrat de théories 'préscientifiques', la métaphore traductologique conserve sa place et son rôle dans les théories contemporaines. Entant qu' instrument cognitif, elle y accomplit l'interaction entre le théme et desphores choisis dans des domaines comme la psycholinguistique ou la théorie actantielle. Par son extension sémantique, elle engendre des réajustements successifs souvent métaphoriques à leur tour. En tant que procédé argumentatif, lamétaphore sert à imposer de nouveaux modéles théoriques; corrélativement, ellesert à marginaliser des modéles antérieurs ou concurrents par une représentationnouvelle de leurs concepts.
Abstract
Instead of being remnants of 'pre-scientific' discourse, the metaphors used in present-day translation theory still seem to fulfil an important role. Their cognitive power is nowadays realized by the interaction between the topic and various vehicles selected in disciplines such as psycholinguistics and translational acting. Through a process of semantic extension, metaphors are then made subject to readjustments which bear often a metaphorical dimension themselves. As a persuasive tool, metaphors serve the purpose of supporting new models, while at the same time they can edge out competing models via new representations of their concepts.
