AB - By analyzing metaphors used in business newspaper texts, this research aims to figure out metaphor’s power to construct discourse. Studied on how it is generated, metaphor can be seen as a process of creative thinking. Understood from the discourse it generates, however, it is also a power of language that composes and creates phenomena. While comparing one concept to the other, metaphor constitutes a way of thinking that seeks for a new classification as it finds out similarities or differences between the two concepts. At the same time, it holds ideological power that reorganizes the world through language by creating new discourse in the process. Business newspapers aim to express economic phenomena into language and in particular, it symbolizes a kind of text where a professional sector meets with our daily lives. In such texts, metaphors play the role of providing frames in accordance with narrator’s perspective. In business newspapers, metaphor is a tool used for designating things and conceptualizing events. With its power to compose discourse, it also serves as a mechanism to adjust the frame we take when looking at conflicts and to recreate phenomena.
