Abstract

In this analysis we consider social factors that have influence in the use of metaphors of everyday life in the Corpus PRESEEA in Granada (Moya et al 2007-2012). It has been necessary to follow the classification that Lakoff and Johnson (1980) make about metaphors. The main purpose of this analysis is to achieve that our study could contribute with more information about this issue of metaphors we live by, but from a sociolinguistic  point of view. Therefore, we choose a sample of study of 18 speakers selected from the Corpus PRESEEA in Granada, where there are 54 speakers distributed depending on levels of study, age and sex, and we carried out a descriptive-transversal analysis about this sample.
