Cognitive Linguistics, 2011 A foundational goal of cognitive linguistics is to explain linguistic phenomena in terms of general cognitive strategies rather than postulating an autonomous language module (Langacker 1987: 12–13).

Metonymy and word-formation revisited [PDF]
Cognitive Linguistics, 2014 Brdar and Brdar-Szabó (this volume) offer a critique of Janda (2011). Janda (2011) found that the same cognitive strategy that facilitates metonymy, namely use of a conceptual source to access a target, can also be invoked in many patterns of affixal ...

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. In accordance with many traditional and modern accounts in the fields of rhetoric and linguistics, this article reconstructs metonymy as a linguistic effect upon the content of a given form, based ...

Metonymy in multimodal discourse, or
2022Abstract One of the most intriguing open issues in metonymy research is the nature of metonymies that transcend or do not appear in spoken/written language.

'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. 'I'll pencil you in' and 'let me give you a hand' are both examples of metonymic language. Metonymy serves a wide range of communicative functions such as

Metonymie is geen stijlfiguur: metonymie is overal
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. Linguists have become aware that metonymyaffects normal language in many different ways: Not only the meaning of lexical wordscan be metonymical, but grammar also shows many metonymical shifts.

The chapter uses two small-scale studies to examine the effects of metonymy in political discourse. We re-examine some theoretical constructs proposed as definitional of metonymy, particularly pragmatic function (Barcelona, 2003a) and inclusion of the source and target in the same functional domain (ibid.). By analyzing the dysphemism chickenhawk as an

A Radical Approach to Metonymy
Textus, 2017This paper makes three main claims. First, it points out that scholars involved in metonymy research do not make it sufficiently clear whether they espouse an essentialist position, whereby metonymy is taken to be a Platonic concept; this engenders conceptual and analytical inconsistences.

Abstract According to Antonio Barcelona (2012) , metonymy is more than just a lexical phenomenon. It is a conceptual mechanism (an inferential schema) operating under the lexicon, in the lexicon, and above the lexicon.
