What is metonymy? Theories and experiments in metonymy research
Magyar Pszichológiai Szemle, 2009A metonímiát sokáig olyan szóképnek tekintették, amely két fogalom közti érintkezési kapcsolaton, kontiguitáson alapul: az egyik fogalomnak, a kifejezőnek a nevét átvisszük a másiknak, a kifejezendőnek a jelölésére, és annak értelmében használjuk.

By analyzing the dysphemism chickenhawk as an
