摘要：
The paper presents an overview of the ways the phenomenon of zoosemy, i.e. figurative use of lexemes denoting animals are used to refer to humans is handled within the Conceptual metaphor and metonymy theory. By focusing on the repercussions of the phenomenon treated as an instantiation of the ontological mapping HUMAN BEING IS AN ANIMAL, the paper addresses both the issues it opens as a problematic type of instantiation regarding the theoretical status of the two cognitive mechanisms, as well as those related to the figurative meaning description and specific pragmatic effects it conveys. A number of useful theoretical constructs within the approach (cultural models, primary metaphors, (chains of) metonymy and its multiple functions (Barcelona 2005) and the main meaning focus (Kovecses 2003) are suggested and exemplified in hope of achieving a more motivated description of the phenomenon.
