Sumario:This paper discusses the role of isotopy in textual metaphorization, as described by Leite (2007). The article starts from the hypothesis that metapho­rization is a particular mode of metaphor mani­festation that resizes interpretation to discourse level, beyond word and sentence levels. As far as isotopy is concerned, the study proposes that it works as a device which can reveal and regulate the co-existence of two or more metaphorical me­aning plans within text, during interpretation, which warrants metaphor upgrading to discourse level.
