Abstract
This paper analyzes a corpus of idiomatic multiword units, both lexicalized and not lexicalized, related to the conceptual field DEATH in German and Spanish. Within the cognitive linguistics framework, here there are formulated the more important cognitive models as well as the types of motivation relying in those expressions. The main objective is to determine which metaphorical schema and metonymical patterns are inclined to verbalize death taboo through euphemisms or dysphemisms in both the languages and describe their convergences and divergences.Downloads
