ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the metaphorical framing of the global crisis in the British and the Italian financial presses in 2008—the year when the global outlook on the slowdown following the financial tensions in the US changed for the worse—discussing results of research into crisis-related conceptual and grammatical metaphors (nominalizations) in a corpus of articles from The Financial Times and the Italian business newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore. 1
