Resumen

En las últimas dos décadas la relación entre la metáfora y la cultura ha sido objeto de estudio en la Lingüística Cognitiva especialmente debido al impacto de la globalización. Este impacto ha afectado particularmente al campo de la economía en el que el uso del lenguaje figurado está extendido. En el contexto de esta investigación, este artículo se centra en explorar no solo el papel de la metáfora, que ha sido el interés de un gran número de estudios, sino también el papel de los complejos conceptuales en las lenguas de dos países históricamente relacionados, pero con una economía muy diferente: Reino Unido y Pakistán. Para ello, metáforas y complejos conceptuales se han sido analizados en urdu e inglés. El análisis ha demostrado, desde un punto de vista interlingüístico, las complejidades del material conceptual en el campo de la economía y la capacidad descriptiva y explicativa de los complejos conceptuales.
