Abstract:
Linguists have become aware that metonymy is not just a contiguity-based
figure of speech but that it is a pervasive cognitive-linguistic mechanism
which influences different linguistic levels. This linguistic insight is
reflected in Dutch and German dictionaries, which use metonymy-tags, for many
examples, for many senses and for many word combinations, such as verbs that
can be combined with different types of direct objects. A specific label used
for the last phenomenon is objectsverwisseling or Objektsvertauschung, which
could be translated as Metonymical Object Change (MOC). MOCs are better known
in linguistics as transitive locative alternations, material-product
alternations and instances of logical metonymy. This dissertation analyses
these three types of argument alternations as metonymy-based. The focus of the
analysis is therefore on the contiguity relation between the different
possible direct objects. In all cases, it is this relation which underlies and
restricts the possibility of changing a direct object. A qualitative analysis
of corpus data is used to examine MOCs in Dutch and German. This makes this
study corpus-oriented. The interpretation of MOCs is modelled in a frame
semantic approach. This dissertation not only examines and clarifies the
concept of MOC by analyzing a large number of data -which could be useful from
a lexicographical perspective-, but it also provides theoretical insights into
the phenomenon of metonymy in general.
