Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/8684This work presents a discussion on the metaphorical processing and inferential knowledge involved in the construction “Foi de [X]”, manifested in variations such as “Foi de arrasta pra cima” and “Foi de Americanas”, widely used on digital media platforms. The aim of this research is to analyze how digital users employ linguistic resources, such as metaphor and inference, directly or indirectly, to refer to the end or disappearance of life, as well as to examine the motivation behind the phenomenon under study. This investigation is justified by the possibility of providing a scientific explanation for the diversity of expressions present in Brazilian Portuguese, particularly in the online context. Regarding its theoretical background, this study is based on the postulates of Cognitive Linguistics, from the perspective of Conceptual Metaphor (Lakoff; Johnson, 1980; Souza, 2016); on functionalist assumptions (Givón, 1995; Martelotta; Areas, 2003; Bybee, 2016; Rosário, 2022); and on the pragmatic-semantic conception of inference (Marcuschi, 2008). For its development, the study combines a qualitative approach and bibliographic research with an analysis of publications from the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, from which 169 records of the target expressions were extracted. The research concludes that the “Foi de [X]” construction demonstrates the productivity and creativity of interlocutors, as it can refer not only to the end of life but also to the loss of functionality and collapse. In conclusion, this research aims to contribute to cognitive-functional linguistic studies, serving as a reference point for future investigations in the field.Acesso AbertoMetáfora conceptualFuncionalismoFoi de [X]Conceptual metaphorFunctionalismCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTESO Pelé foi de arrasta pra cima e eu posso até ir de americanas: uma análise dos processamentos metafóricos e inferenciais da construção “Foi de [X]”Trabalho de Curso - Graduação - MonografiaAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
