Terminological metaphors in red wine tasting notes: A corpus-based study applied to wine translation (French-Spanish)

Abstract

In this chapter, it will be addressed the existence of conceptual metaphors around which red wine tasting discourse is articulated in French and Spanish. In addition, the role of terminological metaphor in this specialized discourse will be considered. To this end, a descriptive and comparative analysis of tasting notes will be carried out, in order to find the underlying conceptual metaphors and their manifestations in different metaphorical expressions. Therefore, a linguistic and a translatological analysis of the metaphorical vocabulary used in winespeak will be addressed to determine whether these words could be considered specialized terms and the main challenges for their translation.
