Metonymy in Grammar and Discourse Comprehension

Antonio Barcelona
This volume, written by a foremost expert, is a fascinating contribution to cognitive-linguistic research on metonymy analyzing authentic texts. Its five studies expand current metonymy theory by providing evidence that metonymies regularly occur at more than one analytical level of the same utterance and that they chain to each other in discourse following certain patterns. Several analytical notions are developed or refined, such as "inferential / metonymic chain", "cascading", "salience factor grid", etc. The role of metonymy in numerous constructional forms and meanings and in discourse-pragmatic meaning is clearly demonstrated in the book.
