More about the book
The paper explores the cognitive aspects of metonymy and metaphor, emphasizing their significance beyond mere stylistic devices. It highlights a shift in linguistic research, particularly influenced by Lakoff and Johnson's work on conceptualization. The analysis posits that both metonymy and metaphor are cognitive phenomena that reflect our mental structures and perceptions of the world. It raises critical questions about the understanding and creation of metonymic expressions, focusing on the underlying principles that govern these linguistic relationships.
