Resumen
El análisis del discurso se ha convertido en un enfoque potente para comprender cómo construyen realidades sociales las personas. Las metáforas son un nicho discursivo con que estas realidades se reconstruyen. Es un proceso complejo, cuyo estudio permitiría desentrañar algunos de estos rasgos. Este trabajo busca caracterizar el discurso metafórico escrito adolescente mediante una prueba ecológica novedosa, que consta de seis preguntas sobre la COVID-19. Participaron 81 estudiantes hispanohablantes (Medad 14;1, Rango 13;2-15;2; 56.7% mujeres). Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas en el uso de metáforas en favor de Pandemia sobre COVID-19 (p < .005). Además, las alumnas muestran mayor frecuencia que los alumnos (p < .005). La experiencia de Pandemia parece promover mayor variedad léxica que COVID-19. Los resultados contribuyen a describir los usos discursivos de metáforas escritas de adolescentes, sopesar el impacto de una prueba ecológica y aportar algunas observaciones sobre la teoría de la metáfora en el discurso.
