This paper presents a description of some metaphorical linguistic expressions that encode emotions and feelings in Kaiowá, a language belonging to sub-branch I of the Tupí-Guaraní linguistic family of the Tupí stock. The work is based on the Theory of Conceptual Metaphor (TCM) which understands that metaphor is a mechanism of human cognition that plays a fundamental role in the construction, organization and understanding of the world and human experience. (Lakoff e Johnson 1980). The corpus was constructed from data gathered during interviews with Kaiowá speakers, following the methodological principle Usage-Based Models of Languages (Barlow e Kemmer 2000). In Kaiowá, the liver - py'a ”“ is the place of the emotions and the means of teko is the basis for the description of emotional and sentimental phenomena inherent to human beings.
