This paper suggests a way to understand and analyze the uses of conceptual metaphors from an argumentative perspective. The examples to illustrate the place of conceptual metaphors in arguments originate from Chilean parliamentarian’s media participation. To achieve the purpose, first some differences between argument by analogy and arguing by metaphors are distinguished; second, a descriptive metaphorical model to distinguish the mapping process between conceptual domains is proposed; and third, extracts of actual Chilean parliamentarian media participation will be examined applying the concepts discussed and the methodologies distinguished previously, with special reference to a parallel between the metaphorical model and the factual logic model for the analysis of arguments. The parallel shows that conceptual metaphors work as ‘backing’ in the factual logic model, and that proverbial expressions work as ‘warrant’ when conceptual metaphors are contained in proverbs.
