Summary/Abstract: As part of the linguistic preoccupations aroused for some time by the various manifestations of the permacrisis, our research focuses essentially on the metaphorical expressions linked to the economic crisis, the pandemic and the war, which it approaches from a diachronic and comparative, socio-cultural and transdisciplinary perspective, making it possible to shed light on the exchanges and interdomain migrations, as well as on the recurrence and durability of certain conceptual metaphors firmly anchored in the collective imaginary of the crisis. Based on a corpus drawn from the French press, both general and specialised, from the nineteenth century to the present day, our research follows this line of thought and leads to some observations on the dynamics of the language of crisis, combining change and permanence, short and long time, terminological neology and metaphorical conceptualisation.
