go - How to copy a map?

Question

I'm trying to copy the contents of a map ( amap ) inside another one (aSuperMap) and then clear amap so that it can take new values on the next iteration/loop. The issue is that you can't clear the map without to clear its reference in the supermap as well. Here is some pseudo code.

for something := range fruits{
        aMap := make(map[string]aStruct)
        aSuperMap := make(map[string]map[string]aStruct)

        for x := range something{
            aMap[x] = aData
            aSuperMap[y] = aMap
            delete(aMap, x)
    }
//save aSuperMap
  saveASuperMap(something)

}

I've also tried some dynamic stuff but obviously it throws an error (cannot assign to nil)

aSuperMap[y][x] = aData

The question is how can I create an associative map ? In PHP I simply use aSuperMap[y][x] = aData. It seems that golang doesn't have any obvious method. If I delete delete(aMap, x) its reference from the super map is deleted as well. If I don't delete it the supermap ends up with duplicate data. Basically on each loop it gets aMap with the new value plus all the old values.
