METAPHORS IN BUSINESS DISCOURCE

##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##

Abstrak:

Figurative language has always been used in business communication, with metaphoric expressions being its most representative and frequent elements. A metaphor is defined as a transference of literary meaning of a word into another context, which means that one thing is described in terms of some other thing, e. g. time is money, cash cow, sleeping beauty.
