Cognitive Linguistic Studies, 2021
AbstractThis article is concerned with metonymy as a cognitive mechanism underlying our best and worst instincts. In particular, I consider two seemingly opposite processes of metonymy: (1) conceptual bypassing of sensory percepts, which leads to an intuitive leap to abstract insights and judgments and (2) conceptual oversimplification of a social ...

Journal of Historical Pragmatics, 2001
The range of phenomena labelled as “metonymy” is so multifarious that it may seem impossible to reduce all these phenomena to a common semantic denominator.

'Metonymy' is a type of figurative language used in everyday conversation, a form of shorthand that allows us to use our shared knowledge to communicate with fewer words than we would otherwise need.

However, recent years have witnessed a renewed interest in metonymy (Peirsman and Geeraerts 2006 and Croft 2006), and it is therefore natural to ask what the ...

Metonymy has been studied for at least two thousand years by rhetoricians, for two hundred years by historical semanticists, and for about ten years by cognitive linguists. However, they all have neglected one peculiar aspect of metonymy: its serial nature.

Nineteenth-Century Fiction, 1982
A FTER A CENTURY OF CRITICISM, much remains to be said about Trollope's technique. His approach to traditional or perhaps obsolescent concepts of the novel and his morality have been much studied.

Handelingen - Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse Maatschappij voor Taal- en Letterkunde en Geschiedenis, 1970Examples of metonymy in lexicons on literature have nothing to do with literary sentencesin which a figure of speech is used.
