Abstract:

The book presents a survey of the studies of metonymy in various aspects of
language from the cognitive linguistic perspective. It discusses the role of
metonymy not only in the traditional domain of semantics but also in
morphology, linguistic pragmatics and formal dimensions of language, including
syntax. The most influential modern theories of metonymy are thoroughly and
critically discussed and the author also proposes his own original solutions
to the problems which arise, taking into account his Polish perspective. Since
the picture that emerges shows metonymy as a universal conceptual phenomenon,
the last chapter is devoted to the discussion of the possible biological,
neural and evolutionary reasons why metonymy is so rampant. Thus, another
important aim of this study is to consider the problem of the embodiment of
metonymy from the point of view of modern neuroscience.
