Abstract

The phenomenon of terminological metaphors is analyzed from the perspective of two methodological approaches: structural semantics and cognitive semantics. Under the structural semantics approach, terminological metaphors are viewed as particular semic reorganizations. Within cognitive semantics, metaphor-motivated expressions form specific conceptual fields (e.g., ECONOMY IS WAR). Numerous Spanish-language examples are presented, taken from the disciplines of medicine, mycology, economics, information science, and marine science.
