Una de las obras que mayor conmoción han causado en relación con los enfoques mas tradicionales sobre el concepto de metáfora. Supuso la introducción de la cotidianeidad en un tratamiento teórico de la metáfora, que había sido considerada, muy frecuentemente, como un fenómeno más vinculado a la desviación que a la normalidad. Lakoff y Jhonson aseguran que la metáfora no solo impregna nuestro lenguaje cotidiano, sino que incluso caracteriza nuestro pensamiento y nuestra vida.

Freud’s Primal Horde: Fact or Fiction?Helen Farley
The existence of the 'primal horde' is central to Sigmund Freud's theories on the beginnings of totemism and incest taboo in humankind. In this paper we begin by considering Freud's theory and examining his sources namely J. J. Atkinson and in particular Charles Darwin. By Freud's own admission, the 'primal horde' had never been observed. We investigate the possibility that such a structure ever existed. We consider the evidence as sourced from Charles Darwin and examine the possibility that Darwin's words were misinterpreted. Freud's idea of the 'primal horde' was generally accepted in anthropological circles in the early twentieth century as evidenced by Geza Roheim's enthusiastic support. We review how this theory lost favour in later times by considering the opinion of William Schmidt.
