| Sumario: | This paper aims to address the following question-problem, referring to gender metaphors, which reads: are gender metaphors used in scientific medical discourse that ratify and deepen the conceptions of gender that already exist in socioculture or are they actually used in the scientific medical discourse? deals with scientific propositions?Its main objective was to elucidate if the gender metaphors of the medical-scientific language are permissible and enriching or if they produce ambiguity and misunderstanding in the beliefs regarding gender stereotypes.We also set ourselves specific objectives such as recognizing the meaning of gender metaphor as well as identifying if gender metaphors are "original" constructions of scientists or if, on the contrary, they are already installed in the socio-culture, at the that the same scientists belong.Finally, in order to approach the specific objectives mentioned, we decided to focus on the following activities: one was to describe what the referents are when we refer to gender metaphor and the other was to compare the contents involved in the gender metaphors constructed by the scientists, with those that we later find in socioculture, both according to the text by Harding (1993) Science and Feminism. |
