Abstract
Construction Grammar (CxG) is a modern yet well-established approach to language based upon cognitive and semiotic tenets (Torres-Martínez 2022). However, its intersections with Onomastics are scarce. This is especially true for chrematonyms: names of social events, organisations, and unique objects. Regardless of their importance, chrematonyms have been generally neglected in the Western European academia, while attractive in Central and Eastern Europe (Gałkowski 2017). This presentation attempts to foster the interest on Spanish chrematonymy with a corpus-based analysis of the role of political party names in the parliamentary corpus ParlaMint (Erjavec et al. 2022). The analysis focus on the specific construction [PARTY + V + que + SUBORDINATE CLAUSE]. The results are expected to confirm the use of personification metaphors, observed with similar names in previous studies (Sánchez Rodas and Corpas Pastor 2023). They dig as well into hypothesised associations with sentiment-marked verbs in the constructed subordinate clause.
