Abstract:

This book deals with the interplay between word-formation and metonymy. It
shows that, like metaphor, metonymy interacts in important ways with
morphological structure, but also warns us against a virtually unconstrained
conception of metonymy. The central claim here is that word-formation and
metonymy are distinct linguistic components that complement and mutually
constrain each other. Using linguistic data from a variety of languages, the
book provides ample empirical support for its thesis. It is much more than a
systematic study of two neglected linguistic phenomena, for a long time
thought to be unimportant by linguists. Through exposing and explaining the
intricate interaction between metonymy and word formation from a cognitive
linguistic perspective, the reader is presented with a sense of the amazing
complexity of the development of linguistic systems. This book will be
essential reading for scholars and advanced students interested in the role of
figuration in grammar.
