Abstract:

When you use a metonymy to say “I’ve got a new set of wheels,” why do
you refer to a car by means of the wheels rather any other part? Most
cognitive linguist would agree that we prefer to talk about parts that
are somehow salient, yet the seemingly simple notion of salience is
entangled in a number of intricate problems related to how we
understand and talk about the surrounding reality. Adopting the
theoretic framework of Ronald Langacker’s Cognitive Grammar, this
volume studies deep and general cognitive factors governing salience
effects that influence the ways we use conceptual metonymies in phonic
and sign languages.
