By analyzing a corpus of met-aphors extracted from different sorts of publications, which include newspapers and maga-zines, this article tries to shed some light on how such figurative usages together with their visual representation may contribute to women's body dissatisfaction, thin ideal internaliza-tion and disordered eating.engAttribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/journal article1615-3014http://dx.doi.org/10.13092/lo.75.2517open accessanimal metaphorwomen's magazineseating disordersCiencias SocialesHumanidades57 Lingüística
