Resumen:
The main objective of this thesis is to define a lemmata that can be used as the basis for the elaboration of an economics dictionary for the general public. To achieve this, I have developed an economics corpus with the terminology tool Terminus 2.0. It is a representative corpus of the economic vocabulary used nowadays by the non-specialised Spanish press, following an empirical-descriptive research methodology, according to which quantitative and deductive aspects are related to each other using the available corpus’ linguistics tools. This corpus has enabled the study of the lexicological characteristics of the economic terms: the economic lexicon is represented mostly by syntagmatic structures, suffixed terms and metaphors. Subsequently, the presence of the corpus terms in general monolingual Spanish dictionaries and specialized economics dictionaries, has been quantitatively and qualitatively analysed. After confirming the inexistence of economics dictionaries for the general public, and the scarce representation of the economic lexicon in the existing dictionaries, this thesis introduces a lemmata proposal for an economic dictionary for the general public.
