La Comunicazione persuasiva: Conclusioni

La Comunicazione persuasiva: Conclusioni

Il presente contributo nasce dall’interesse, teorico e applicativo, verso gli elementi che definiscono la relazione tra la comunicazione persuasiva, la scelta e l’utilizzo delle metafore.

Al fine di verificare il ruolo di questo strumento comunicativo e cognitivo nella comunicazione quotidiana, è parso infatti necessario introdurre nell’analisi del tema un argomento familiare a tutti, qualela noia.

In particolare ci si è focalizzati sugli sviluppi applicativi della stessa nei processi educativi infantili.

Se da un lato si evidenzia come la metafora viene utilizzata in modo coerente con le teorie di Lakoff e Johnson (1980), secondo cui è strumento d’eccellenza nel rendere comprensibile e concreto un concetto astratto, dall’altro si evidenzia come il suo utilizzo e la sua scelta, in alternativa al corrispondente letterario, sono congrui agli schemi cognitivi attivati nelle diverse situazioni comunicazionali in cui un individuo si può ritrovare nel momento in cui interagisce nel contesto sociale in cui vive.
