Rezumat

The interest in metaphor has indicated a new progress since linguistics and the philosophy of language placed it in a new light. The numerous studies in the 20th century profoundly changed the understanding of metaphor. Authors like Roman Jakobson, I. A. Richards, Max Black, Paul Ricoeur, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson etc. have made a huge contribution to the development of a new view on metaphor.  Thus, the contemporary philosophy of science has induced a clearer semantic delineation, which led to the emergence of a problematics of metaphor. The attention given to the cognitive side of metaphor in the scientific development context can be considered one of the most important traits of modern metaphorology. To talk about metaphor with regard to exact sciences may seem even today an act of defiance, of crossing the boundaries between discourses.  The most formalized scientific languages are born from the natural language, so consequently they preserve certain connections with the common language. As the latter is metaphorically based, according to the modern cognitive theories, it practically becomes a constant source of metaphoricity transferred to the scientific language.  From this perspective, metaphor has ceased to be a mere ornamental myth; it has become an explicative principle in science.  Metaphor plays an essential role in determining the articulations between the scientific language and the world, and the paradigms changes are changes of the relevant metaphors and of the conceptual mapping.  The scientific metaphor is important as long as it has an informative and explanatory function. The present study aims at focusing on these functions of the metaphorical expressions met in a series of medical texts subject to investigation. From a traditional approach there are three such functions: catachrestic, didactic and theory constitutive. The purpose of this article is to explain these functions and, if possible, to exemplify them.
