Abstract

This article includes the study of metaphor as a strategy for interpreting the terrorist attacks perpetrated in Madrid on March 11, 2004 in three newspapers published in different languages in different countries. The text offers a multidisciplinary view to the metaphor, based on the interpretation of this figure as one of the linguistic forms of the interpretation of reality in a journalistic text and the so-called framing theory.

Keywords

metaphor; frame; media language; journalistic metaphor.
