Abstract
This article provides a critical review of English-language economic literature by examining how conceptual metaphors shape economic discourse. It focuses on metaphorical domains such as the body, character, marriage/divorce, and wardrobe, evaluating their role in framing and interpreting economic processes. The study analyzes the cognitive-linguistic mechanisms that humanize and simplify complex economic phenomena, while also highlighting their ideological implications. In addition, it compares English and Uzbek metaphorical patterns to assess cross-linguistic differences. The paper argues that metaphor usage not only facilitates understanding but also influences media representation, public perception, and policy interpretation.
