Abstract
As observed by Ryszard Tokarski, the linguistic metaphors encode different types of valuations, which constitute one of the fundamental components of their semantic content and form a series of connotations revealed only in certain contexts. These valuations are connected, on the one hand, with the semantic and structural motivation of the majority of the metaphors and, on the other hand, with the influence of cultural and extra-linguistic factors on their formation (1992: 69- 81). Inspired by the work of Tokarski, who tries to determine whether the image of a human being encoded in the Polish language is positive or negative, this paper proposes to analyze the Spanish erotic lexicon in order to detect what types of valuations of lovers (both male and female) are grounded in the Castilian language. In order to achieve this goal, five lexical units concerning the sexual act, extracted from the Diccionario del sexo y el egotism by González Felix Rodriguez (2011), will be reinterpreted. The study aims to demonstrate that the search for the correlations between descriptive and evaluative elements of the meaning lexical item contributes to deeper and multidimensional studies on metaphor.
