Andá a cantarle a Gardel. La música en la fraseología lingüística del habla rioplatense.

Music and language have always been interlinked very closely in addition to having significant relationships, which have been studied under different disciplinary perspectives such as anthropology, history, psychoanalysis, semiotics, sociology, etc. In this paper, we intend to give a voice to linguistic phraseology by analyzing the musical phraseological units of River Plate Spanish, which have been collected in a specific corpus, based on the Diccionario fraseológico del habla argentina. Frases, dichos y locuciones (2010). In particular, we will study those units of the language that have at least one element which refers to music in their internal structure, specifically: names of musical instruments, musical compositions, names of dances and musical pieces, musical composition techniques, as well as linguistic expressions that, through a metaphorical or metonymic language, fulfill an essential cognitive function. We will start with the idea that metaphors play an important role in the construction, transmission and fixation of certain cultural meanings (Dobrovol’skij D. O. and Piiranein E. 2003, Soriano 2012); which is why our basic theoretical framework is the theory of conceptual metaphor (TMC) proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), who present their theory from an experiential perspective and extend the study of metaphors from rhetorical use to everyday use of the language by arguing that thought, action and language are linked through cognitive processes.
