Abstract:

This book investigates the interaction between new English lexis and
metaphor/metonymy – figures meticulously defined and contrasted in
terms of similarity/contiguity. It advances three main hypotheses: (i)
derived lexis is more likely to be figurative in meaning and usage
than the bases from which it is derived; (ii) derivation obscures the
figurative origins of this lexis to varying degrees depending on
differing processing strategies; (iii) lexicalisation is determined by
Relevance (in Sperber and Wilson’s sense) to the needs of a culture or
its powerful interest groups, where culture, following Norman
Fairclough, is characterised as an ensemble of recognised
action/discourse genres. This volume is distinctive in exploring the
relations between grammar and metonymy and providing numerous examples
of metaphorical and metonymic lexis as it reflects society's changing
needs and (contested) ideologies.

Written In: English (eng)
