This article deals with certain metaphors used in languages for special purposes, namely in the economic discourse. It emphasizes the functions of metaphor both at a lexical and a textual level. After a brief review of the specialized literature concerning the metaphor (1), the author examines specific examples regarding the transit from every day language to the economic discourse (2) and concludes with some reflections on the transit from the denominating metaphor to the designating metaphor (3).

Keywords —
