- Abstract
By analyzing the metasemic designation of the human being, our study is situated at the universal level of language. It also wishes to continue and develop the research carried out within the Cluj-Napoca School of Integral Linguistics created by Professor Mircea Borcilă in line with Eugeniu Coşeriu's work, by proposing a skeuological linguistics wich focuses on aspects related to knowledge of the world with the help of cognitive semantics elements. The designation process always includes a diasemic, an endosemic and an episemic moment at the three levels of speech: significance, representational-imaging and skeuological-ontological. Cognitive and integral semantics meet on the representational-imaging level by taking over the concept of image-schema. However, this concept is situated in the intra-significance space of speech and has a downward trajectory from the wholesome understanding of a way of being towards the world. Our research on the metasemic designation of the human being starts from a new taxonomy of conceptual metaphors related to being, concreteness and re-systematization. It also takes into consideration the three metasemic modes put forward by Mircea Borcilă: primary - referring to one category, secondary - denoting two categories and tertiary - copulative verbal. Following the analysis of some examples, we can state that the conceptual metaphors used to designate the human being belong to the category of re-systematization metaphors since the conceptual domain of the HUMAN BEING is reorganized according to other domains such as FOOD, ANIMAL, CONSTRUCTION, etc. However, this re-systematization is not carried out according to essential aspects. It is based on acquired patterns linked with tradition, culture or experience, and it is associated with the significate of the human being within the process of opening towards the world.
