Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the semantic analysis of terminological metaphors in the Spanish language of economics. The objective is to identify and define all possible source domains in terminological metaphors that serve to name an abstract domain in the language of economics. It complements the conceptual taxonomies in terminological metaphors mentioned and studied so far and seeks to prove that technical metaphorical terms are images of human existence and everything related to it. It also aims to establish which conceptual domain is the most frequent in the formation of metaphorical terms in the language of economics.
