Abstract: The present article examines the use of metaphor in a body of journalism dealing with a specific economic topic - a currency crisis. This examination provides extensive empirical evidence of the widespread and systematic use of metaphor in press discourse. On a basis of this evidence, it is claimed that metaphor plays a key role in articulating textual cohesion and coherence and, furthermore, that it makes an essential contribution to the communicative nature of press discourse.
