The paper discusses predominant metaphors and metaphorical expressions used in Slovene journalistic texts, emphasizing their function in the text. I show how to identify metaphorical expressions in a text, how to define their conceptual structure and how to categorize elements in cross-domain mapping. Looking at metaphorical expressions in a broader context, I propose a systematization of their function in journalistic texts. The analysis is based on a hand-annotated corpus of Slovene metaphor expressions, KOMET 1.0.
