The paper examines the transposition of the urban toponyms (i.e. urbanonyms) into the zoological garden’s space, as well as the patterns present across those urbanonyms. The first section comprises a semantic and formal analysis of 18 urbanonyms found in the zoological garden in Zagreb. The second part comprises: a) a discussion of the urbanonyms (36 total) gathered from the zoological garden in Belgrade; and b) a comparative analysis of the urbanonyms collected from the two zoological gardens. The analysis takes into account the motivation behind these urbanonyms, their formal structure, as well as various factors that influenced the naming process. The vast majority of these urbanonyms are used as a means of commemoration; they are anthroponymic derivations based on the names and surnames of the well-known academic, cultural and political figures. From the formal perspective, most of the urbanonyms appear either in the genitive case or as constructions derived through adjectival or possessive formants.
The article deals with the semantic analysis of terminological metaphors in the Spanish language of economics. The objective is to identify and define all possible source domains in terminological metaphors that serve to name an abstract domain in the language of economics. It complements the conceptual taxonomies in terminological metaphors mentioned and studied so far and seeks to prove that technical metaphorical terms are images of human existence and everything related to it. It also aims to establish which conceptual domain is the most frequent in the formation of metaphorical terms in the language of economics.
