This paper explores the divisive power of conceptual metaphors in this context through the analysis of polarising metaphors, namely, metaphors that conceptualise 'Us' positively and/or 'Them' negatively. More specifically, from a corpus-based critical socio-cognitive perspective (Musolff 2016; Soares da Silva 2020; Charteris-Black 2011), this study looks at the main polarising metaphors of Maduro and Guaidó's political discourses and examines their role in the discursive construction of ideological polarisation, social identities, and legitimacy using a target-based approach (Stefanowitsch and Cries 2006). The results show that both leaders strategically use polarising metaphors, especially those of CONFRONTATION, HUMAN BEING and JOURNEY, to reproduce their ideologies, reinforce their social identities, and legitimise their political positionsThis study has been carried out under the research projects UIDB/00683/2020 (Centre for Philosophical and Humanistic Studies), funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, and 'Polarisation and Digital Discourses: Critical and Socio-Cognitive Perspectives' (PID2020-119102RB-I00), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and InnovationJohn BenjaminsDepartamento de Filología InglesaFacultad de Filosofía y Letras20232023-11-30research articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1AMhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_ab4af688f83e57aainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10486/719347https://dx.doi.org/10.1075/jlp.22169.petreponame:Biblos-e Archivo.
