More about the book

Focusing on cognitive-linguistic research, this volume presents an in-depth analysis of metonymy through authentic texts. It features five studies that enhance metonymy theory by showing its occurrence at multiple analytical levels within utterances and its interconnectedness in discourse. Key concepts such as "inferential/metonymic chain" and "salience factor grid" are introduced and refined. The book effectively illustrates the significance of metonymy in various constructional forms and its impact on discourse-pragmatic meaning.
