Texto completoResumen
This research addresses two fundamental elements of metonymy in thought: firstly its definition, and secondly its function in creativity. It is a first foray into non-verbal metonymic creative thought, taken from an art practice perspective. This viewpoint offers access to how metonymy functions in material processes, and how it draws meaning from proximal contexts.

Texto completoResumen
Analyse de la metonymie (metonymie stricte, synecdoque;metalepse hypallage et metonymie symbole) et des mecanismes metonymiques dans l'oeuvre de flaubert trois parties : 1- l'etude de l'actualisation lexematique des metonymies; leur dominante thematique et les differentes lectures possibles; une theorie lingui- stique et logique de l'actualisation des lexemes metonymiques (passage de la langue au discours; preference metonymiques de flaubert et relations entre sujet de l'oeuvre et la nature tropique et lexematique de la figure. 2- la metonymie au niveau syntaxique; etude des differents indicateurs enoncia- tifs du trope: indices paratextuels (apostrophe et deixis); indices textuels (marques typographiques, adjectifs, verbe, pronom, determinant, demonstratif, etc) etude de la lexie metonymique: le trope ne saurait etre qu'un substantif. Enco- dage et decodage : interference entre metaphore et metonymie dans la genese et au niveau de l'interpretation de l'enonce. 3- au niveau macrostructural, le mecanismes metonymique fonctionne principalement dans le texte descriptif. Chez flaubert, la description de la ville, des vetements, du corps et surtout de la nature est une description oblique qui illustre le fonctionnement synthetique et la denotation oblique de la metonymie. Une analyse est faite de la narration oblique et du recit lateral chez flaubert au niveau du mot (lexeme) et au niveau de la structure du recitThis thesis contains three parts : io) the study of lexematic actualisation of metonymies; their dominant thematic and the different possibilities of reading; alinguitical and logical theory of metonymy from the language to thespeech ; metonymic preferences of flaubert and the relations between the subject of a work and the tropic and the lexematic nature of the figure. Iio) the metonymy up the syntactic level; the study of the different indicatore which leads to the trope; paratextual indice (apostrophe, deixis); textual indice (adjective, verb, comparison, etc). The study of the metonymic term : the metonymy is only a substantive;production and interpretation : interferance between metaphore and metonymy at the genesis level and the interpretation of the trope. Iiio) at the macrostrutural level, the metonymic mecanism works mainly in the descriptive text. With flaubert, the description of the town, the clothes, the body and above all the description of nature is lateral which represents the mecanism an the oblique denotation of the metonymy

Texto completoResumen
This study sought to examine the effectiveness of proposed activities for the production of texts included in the textbook Portuguese Project Pitanguá, 3rd grade, a teacher in the municipal schools of the city of Maceió, in the 2007 school year. Our hypothesis is that the effectiveness of proposed production of texts included in the textbook Portuguese, both elements present in the symbolic universe of the teacher as coming from the fundamental relationship between the operators of the language, is made present. We based this theory work in the metaphoric and metonymic processes (LEMOS, 1998, 1997, 1992) and in Figures Other (Dufour, 2000, 2005), representatives of the symbolic universe of the subject. We believe the relevance of this research is in search of trying to understand the relationships established between the proposed production of text inserted into a textbook and the teacher guides. We found that trying to put in place what the textbook suggests, and yet, modify the proposals, the teacher brought his "reading", indicating the emergence of fragments of his symbolic universe (Dufour, 2000) and the characterization of a subject which is a different value to what is proposed in the textbook, placing it as a subject with autonomy in the face of the textbook, through the presence of figures of the Other and the metaphoric and metonymic processes.O presente trabalho pretendeu analisar a efetivação de propostas de atividades de produção de textos inseridas no livro didático de português Projeto Pitanguá, 3ª série , por uma professora da rede municipal de ensino da cidade de Maceió, no ano letivo de 2007. Partimos da hipótese de que, na efetivação de propostas de produção de textos inseridas em um livro didático de português, tanto elementos presentes no universo simbólico da professora quanto advindos da articulação entre os operadores fundamentais da linguagem, se presentificam. Fundamentamos teoricamente este trabalho nos processos metafóricos e metonímicos (LEMOS, 1998, 1997, 1992) e nas figuras de Outro (DUFOUR, 2000, 2005), representantes do universo simbólico do sujeito. Acreditamos que a relevância desta pesquisa se encontra na busca de procurar compreender as relações estabelecidas entre as propostas de produção de texto inseridas em um livro didático e a professora que as orienta. Verificamos que ao tentar colocar em funcionamento o que o livro didático sugere e, contudo, modificar as propostas, a professora trouxe sua leitura , indicando a emergência de fragmentos de seu universo simbólico (DUFOUR, 2000) bem como a caracterização de um sujeito que constitui um valor diferente para aquilo que é proposto no livro didático, colocando-a como um sujeito com autonomia diante do livro didático, através da presença das figuras de Outro e dos processos metafóricos e metonímicos.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this study is to see how men, women and children are made in the Ikea 2014 catalog, this from a gender perspective. It will also examine if gender stereotypes are seen and how equal the people in the images is produced. This essay is studied on the basis of gender theory and theories about stereotypes and how men, women and children are prepared in advertising and commercials. The method that was used during the analysis process was a qualitative semiotic method. The analysis tool that was used from the semiotic method was denotation, connotation and metonymy. The result of the study shows that the major part of the pictures that was analyzed was gender stereotypical and that a few of the pictures showed some kind of equality between men and women, both between grow ups and children. One of the conclusions that were made is that Ikea, in some, pictures show that equality is something that they think about and that they care about the Swedish opinions when it comes to equality between human beings, as they, Ikea, are a Swedish based company.

Texto completoResumen
From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, metonymy is a conceptual operation in which one entity maps onto the other entity within a single domain at the conceptual level. There are two related perspectives as to what motivates metonymy: metonymy as having a referential function and metonymy as being motivated by conceptual contiguity. However, there are some linguistic expressions that are less readily identifiable as being motivated in one of these ways. For example, many scholars (e.g., Gibbs 1990, Barnden 2010) argues that example (1) The creampuff didn’t even show up has a referential function, like metonymy, but is, in fact, an instance of metaphor. Analogously, in (2) Ann has her mother’s eyes, Warren (1999) argues the relationship between the inherited characteristic is motivated by both perceptual similarity and conceptual contiguity. What these two examples reveal is the following: First, metaphor can exhibit symptoms normally attributed to metonymy, and second, there appears not to always be a clear distinction between where metonymy ends and metaphor begins. This observation leads to a number of outstanding questions. First, is metonymy in fact a unified phenomenon? Second, if not, how are metonymies motivated? Third, how is metonymy related to other figurative phenomena, especially metaphor? I argue that metonymy, while constituting a unified phenomenon, nevertheless exhibits variation. In point of fact, I claim that examples (1) and (2) amount to distinct types of metonymy, which lie on a continuum. To answer the second question, I examine the nature of metonymic compositionality. I do so to show how metonymic linguistic ‘vehicles’ interface with the (nonlinguistic) conceptual level in the course of figurative language understanding. Finally, I explore the relationship between metaphor and metonymy. I argue that they are related in terms of occupying a continuum with different linguistic expressions and, on occasion, exhibiting symptoms of both.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis investigates the role of metonymy in communication, in creating text, in learner communication and in translation. I make the claim that metonymy, defined here as the ability to recognize part-whole relations between things, words and concepts, is the essential mechanism behind a whole variety of linguistic phenomena, normally dealt with in linguistics as distinct topics. In the General Theory of Metonymy presented here, I suggest that metonymy is a unifying principle behind how we process language. I discuss a range of data to demonstrate metonymy at work. I show that metonymic principles are not just in play in metonymic language but also in metaphoric and literal language. I argue that metonymy not only offers alternative ways of referring to entities, but is powerful in giving nuance and spin, and is the key to understanding why language is so fit for purpose in giving us the flexibility and subtlety so important in our social dealings with others. I illustrate the role metonymy plays in our lives by examining data from social and recreational activities where metonymy is central and seems to be explored for its own sake. In the Metonymic Theory of Learner Communication I propose that learner communication relies in a number of different ways on metonymic processing; and in the Metonymic Theory of Translation I propose that translation also relies heavily on metonymic processing. The burgeoning interest in metonymy in recent years has generated an extensive literature. This thesis attempts to make sense of this body of knowledge, offers an original synthesis of it, proposes how it might be developed and suggests practical applications of it. I suggest that a new discipline of Metonymics might emerge and that this could make a valuable contribution in reframing issues of debate in a variety of different areas of practice.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis argues that the scope of metonymy throughout history remains severely reduced to a process of word substitution and the signifying potential of the trope is limited to lexical representation. The study therefore proposes a semiotic approach to take the trope beyond this limitation and to develop a textual theory to the trope. A background study related to how metonymy is treated in previous studies is therefore necessary. This review of literature covers a long period starting from ancient Greece and going up to the present day. Chapters one and two of this thesis, which give this general background, show that the hypothesis is to a large extent valid. The thesis then examines another related hypothesis which is that metonymy is semiotic in nature and a semiotic approach to metonymy will solve the problem of reductionism in the treatment of this trope. Chapter three is devoted to an examination of this hypothesis. It shows that a semiotic approach to metonymy is not only possible but also crucial. The semiotic approach to metonymy basically concerns the treatment of metonymy as a sign which cuts across three domains of representation. These are the domain of words, the domain of concepts and the domain of things or objects. The last domain is itself treated from a semiotic perspective to stand for the domain of context at large. on the basis of this semiotic approach to metonymy a textual model of metonymic relations in text is constructed. this model is put to the test in chapter four. here the metonymic relations of form for form, form for concept, form for thing, thing for form and concept for form are brought to bear on the formal and semantic connectedness of text. in chapter five the metonymic relations of concept for concept, concept for thing, thing for thing and thing for concept are used to explain how these metonymic relations interact to provide a linkage between language, cognition and context.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis seeks to advance literary theory and in particular the theory of poetic language by developing a theory of metonymy as a literary trope. After a critical assessment of available views on metonymy, the first part of the thesis sets out to explore and analyse the aesthetic status, structure and poetic function of metonymy on the basis of concrete literary material. Premised on the notion of poetic language as defamiliarisation and following the establishment of an operational definition of metonymy, a corpus of ancient Greek texts, chiefly from lyric poetry and tragedy, is examined and metonymic occurrences are isolated. Contrasting categories of metonymy are established as they emerge from the corpus and analysed in their individual structure and shared characteristics. Further examples from German poetry are adduced for illustration and comparison as and where appropriate. On this basis, a general theory of metonymy as a literary trope is developed, centred on the notion of contiguity as proposed by Jakobson but now re-interpreted as lexical contiguity: by way of revising the theory of semantic fields, it is suggested that metonymy is best understood as a shift within a semantic field, conceptualising the field itself as the result of regular collocations in ordinary usage. This proposition indicates why metonymy’s defamiliarising effects appear less intense than those of metaphor, explains the relevance of grammatical categories for metonymy and clarifies the relationship between metaphor and metonymy. The second part of the thesis refines this theory and considers some of its further implications in literary practice by assessing what happens to metonymy in translation, that is, under the impact of changed linguistic, syntactic and cultural contexts.

Hamilton, Rachael Louise. "Colour in English : from metonymy to metaphor". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2016. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/7353/.
Texto completoResumen
Colour words abound with figurative meanings, expressing much more than visual signals. Some of these figurative properties are well known; in English, for example, black is associated with EVIL and blue with DEPRESSION. Colours themselves are also described in metaphorical terms using lexis from other domains of experience, such as when we talk of deep blue, drawing on the domain of spatial position. Both metaphor and colour are of central concern to semantic theory; moreover, colour is recognised as a highly productive metaphoric field. Despite this, comparatively few works have dealt with these topics in unison, and even those few have tended to focus on Basic Colour Terms (BCTs) rather than including non-BCTs. This thesis addresses the need for an integrated study of both BCTs and non-BCTs, and provides an overview of metaphor and metonymy within the semantic area of colour. Conducted as part of the Mapping Metaphor project, this research uses the unique data source of the Historical Thesaurus of English (HT) to identify areas of meaning that share vocabulary with colour and thus point to figurative uses. The lexicographic evidence is then compared to current language use, found in the British National Corpus (BNC) and the Corpus of Contemporary American (COCA), to test for currency and further developments or changes in meaning. First, terms for saturation, tone and brightness are discussed. This lexis often functions as hue modifiers and is found to transfer into COLOUR from areas such as LIFE, EMOTION, TRUTH and MORALITY. The evidence for cross-modal links between COLOUR with SOUND, TOUCH and DIMENSION is then presented. Each BCT is discussed in turn, along with a selection of non-BCTs, where it is revealed how frequently hue terms engage in figurative meanings. This includes the secondary BCTs, with the only exception being orange, and a number of non-BCTs. All of the evidence discussed confirms that figurative uses of colour originate through a process of metonymy, although these are often extended into metaphor.

Texto completoResumen
The present research is concerned to define metonymy and discuss its functions in discourse. The theoretical background to the research is pluralist, including semantic, pragmatic, cognitive and stylistic approaches. Different theories are shown to account for conventional and creative realisations of metonymy in everyday discourse, as well as its functions in literary texts. Metonymy is traditionally described in rhetoric and poetics as a figure of speech but the scope of the term has been extended. It is used to describe a means of structuring narrative discourse (Jakobson 1956), and a generalised cognitive mechanism (Lakoff 1987). Recent claims that metonymy is itself a universally valid explanatory principle, based on the evidence of psycholinguistic experiments (Gibbs 1994), lead to consideration of how metonymy affects semantic and syntactic features of language. The thesis considers typological descriptions and explanations of metonymy in terms of general semantic relationships such as part for whole and cause for effect. Metonymy, traditionally a property of noun phrases, is shown to be present in different word categories and at different levels of discourse. Contiguity, a general principle on which metonymic relationships are based, is revised to include contiguity between physical entities and in their perception and interpretation. Metonymy as a naming and referring mechanism is shown to be a shortening device with cohesive functions, related to ellipsis. Contextualisation is reviewed and theories of domain presented. Referentiality is reconsidered with respect to the effects of metonymy. The thesis investigates whether principled distinctions may be made between metonymy and metaphor, and discusses the functions of metonymy in symbolic language. Arguments for its metafunctions in narrative structure are presented taking into account the presence of metonymy at word, phrase and sentence levels. A new way of analysing narrative through metonymy is proposed, and illustrated from literary works.

Biernacka, Ewa. "A discourse dynamics investigation of metonymy in talk". Thesis, Open University, 2013. http://oro.open.ac.uk/54728/.
Texto completoResumen
In marked contrast to metonymy research based on invented examples and intuitive judgments, this thesis presents a picture of metonymy in discourse derived from empirical analysis of authentic language. Using the discourse dynamics framework (Cameron 2010b), metonymy is investigated in a 17,889 word focus group discussion about the risk of terrorism. To aid and enrich the analysis of metonymic expressions identified in the focus group data, they are tracked in the Oxford English Corpus (OEC) and the Nexis UK database (Nexis®UK 2008). The research design applied in the thesis enables a multi-faceted appreciation of the phenomenon of metonymy in language. Responding to an important methodological issue and a gap in the field, the thesis develops and applies a metonymy identification procedure. and offers the first quantitative results to date for metonymy density in language. Findings illuminate the new metonymy category SPECIFIC DATE FOR EVENT HAPPENING ON THAT DATE, instances of interplay of metonymy and metaphor, and cases of what are termed cultural metonymies. The thesis also argues, however, that a vital part of the picture of metonymy is missed if the investigation does not pursue cases which are beyond the procedure. While many metonymies can be identified in discourse by following the procedure, the major advantage of the discourse dynamic framework is it can uncover varying forms of metonymy. Metonymy is found in speakers' use of pronouns in a process labelled .metonymic shifting of pronominal reference (MSPR) and it is involved in metonymic processing of scenarios and metonymic processing of stories stretching over longer fragments of talk. Complexity of metonymic language leads the research to an analytic level which has the potential of revealing more about the core of metonymy and its complex nature.

Texto completoResumen
This essay deals with translation issues arising when translating a German source text dealing with the field of riding history into Swedish. More specifically, the analysis focuses on translation problems and solutions in regard to figures of speech, namely metaphors, metonymies and similies. The metaphors in the source text were divided into three categories depending on their origin, whether they were lexical, conventional or private metaphors. Also the translations of the figures of speech were divided into three categories depending on how the translations were made. The first is called sensu stricto, because the image in the source and the target language correspond here. The second category is called substitution because the image in the source language is shown with another image in the target language. The last category is called paraphrase because the image in the source language is translated with a non figurative expression.

Texto completoResumen
This essay researches metaphors and metonymy in motorsports language, mainly investigating strategies for translating the structural metaphors RACING is WAR and RACE POSITIONS are RESOURCES and analyzing the results through both a quantitative and qualitative approach. The material for the research was selected parts of former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber’s autobiography, Aussie Grit: My Formula One Journey (2016). For the translation, dictionaries and parallel texts were utilized, and several works on translation theory, such as Ingo (2007), Newmark (1988), and Lakoff & Johnson (2003) were consulted for both the translation and the following analysis. Research into similar metaphors in other sports (such as Shields & Bredemeier (2013) and Bergh & Ohlander (2012)) was analyzed for background on the phenomenon of structural metaphors in sports. The results show that metonyms are prevalent in motorsports language, and structural metaphors are also well established in both the SL and TL. Regarding metonyms, the parallel texts show that proper noun metonyms can be transferred directly. Most metonyms in the ST are of the PLACE for EVENT category (for example names of racetracks/countries used to reference whole races, and the podium being used to reference placing top three or winning). The metaphor structures are also found in the TL, meaning the intended images can largely be maintained without changing the author’s established structure of the source text. Most metaphors and metonyms can thus be translated literally, or with TL equivalents. Where expansions are necessary, the translator can safely fall back on the structures present in motorsports language to ensure a text a reader with previous knowledge of such language will understand.

Texto completoResumen
Cette these porte sur un aspect du traitement automatique des langues naturelles ecrites. Dans cette premiere partie nous proposons une modelisation du jugement de paraphrase correspondant aux analyses linguistiques developpees par c. Fuchs. Nous sommes ainsi conduite a opposer ce que nous qualifions de diagnostic de paraphrase au jugement binaire et a la notion d'identite semantique habituellement proposes pour rendre compte de l'existence d'une relation de paraphrasticite entre enonces. Le diagnostic de paraphrase realise par le systeme paraph, entre deux enonces decrit les choix interpretatifs et les approximations semantiques qui legitiment l'equivalence entre les enonces. La methodologie adoptee vise a caracteriser des significations difficiles a cerner telles que celles de certaines categories grammaticales (aspect, modalites etc. ) dont les valeurs exprimees en contexte par l'auxiliaire modal pouvoir sont une bonne illustration. Nous avons aussi etudie ce que recouvre le phenomene lorsqu'il est qualifie de reformulation dans les systemes de recherche d'information. Une deuxieme partie concerne ce que l'on peut considerer comme une forme de paraphrase mettant en jeu un phenomene d'ellipse: la metonymie. Quelquefois consideree comme un phenomene de glissement de sens ou cantonnee dans la classe des figures de style, le phenomene est analyse ici comme une forme de reference langagiere. Nous lui consacrons une analyse dans laquelle nous nous appuyons sur le formalisme des graphes conceptuels de j. Sowa pour modeliser le passage entre un enonce comportant une ellipse methonymique et un enonce dans lequel le phenomene n'intervient plus

Texto completoResumen
I denna studie undersöks metaforbruket och metonymibruket i sju broschyrer från Försäkringskassan. Det som undersöks är om broschyrerna innehåller oetablerade metaforer och metonymier, och om det i så fall finns några mönster i användningen. Resultaten visar att det förekommer ytterst få metaforer och metonymier i materialet: endast tre belägg hittades. Två av dessa finns dock i broschyrernas avslutningar, vilket kan bero på att dessa avsnitt handlar om hur en läsare kan agera, medan övriga avsnitt har en informerande funktion. En troligare förklaring är att båda beläggen behandlar kommunikation, ett område som ofta är abstrakt, varför metaforer kan göra det mer begripligt för många läsare. En tredje förklaring, som ligger nära den föregående, är att Försäkringskassan vill få så många läsare som möjligt att använda tjänsterna istället för att kontakta en handläggare, genom att få dem att framstå som enkla att använda. Att texterna innehåller få metaforer är väntat, eftersom det är underförstått att bildspråk bör användas med försiktighet och helst undvikas i myndighetstexter. Dessutom kan språklagen tolkas som att den ger stöd åt ståndpunkten att myndigheter inte bör använda bildspråk.

Texto completoResumen
This study examines the translation of an adventure travel guide from English to Swedish, focusing on the translation of conventional metaphors, original metaphors, metonymy and similes, with special attention to conceptual metaphors. The results show that most of the metaphors are reproduced in the target text, along with most of the metonymic segments and all similes. The findings suggest that the relatively high rate of metaphors and metonymy reproduced is due to a high degree of shared metaphorical concepts in source and target culture, whereas the decrease likely is due to an asymmetry in the preference of usage and degree of elaboration for these metaphors. The qualitative analysis shows that many conceptual metaphors fulfilled important functions in the source text, which confirms previous research that preserving the conceptual metaphors as much as possible in the translation process is essential in order to preserve all the functions of the source text. Analysis of metonymy and the personification of cities shows how the metonymic concept place for person is related to the central theme of personification and that this concept is likewise used to fulfill an important purpose of the source text, showing that metonymy is equally important to preserve in the translation process. The results of this study suggest that the choice of translation strategy in some cases is less dependent on category and more dependent on to what extent the cultural concepts that the metaphor/simile/metonymy is based on is similar/different, more/less elaborate or more/less preferred in source and target culture.

Texto completoResumen
The Cloud of Unknowing is in a very real sense a treatise on epistemology, and on the practical aspect of the communication which we call rhetoric. The Cloud draws upon the Platonic rhetorical tradition, which asserts that grasp of abstract truth gives value to human understanding and communication. Reality is above all transcendent, as mirrored in the kataphatic mystical tradition to which the Cloud belongs. The problem is that, if this "vertical" mode of knowing be set against the "horizontal" mode of knowing which in literary theory is generally labelled "metaphor", the existence of metaphoric approaches to reality in the Christian faith (which the Cloud author professes) seems inconsistent with the mystical tradition and Platonic rhetoric. However, a reconciliation of vertical and horizontal modes of knowing--of metonymy and metaphor--is effected, in theological terms, by an Incarnational dynamic involving creation and grace, and, in critical terms, by paradox and analogy.

Esta dissertação estuda locuções verbais da língua espanhola que apresentam alto grau de idiomaticidade e frequência de uso. O objetivo principal da pesquisa é investigar até que ponto processos cognitivos motivados por metáforas e metonímias são responsáveis pelo significado destas locuções. Para tal propósito, analisa-se um conjunto de locuções verbais da língua espanhola, tais como meter algo en la cabeza (meter algo na cabeça), cerrar la boca (fechar a boca) e abrir mano (abrir mão), que envolvem uma parte do corpo humano. As partes do corpo humano escolhidas para o conjunto de locuções para análise são cabeza (cabeça), boca (boca) e mano (mão). A fonte principal de coleta de dados é o Diccionario de la Lengua Española. O trabalho é realizado dentro da perspectiva teórica da Linguística Cognitiva e concebe a metáfora como um mapeamento conceptual entre dois domínios cognitivos com propriedades análogas; e a metonímia, como um processo mediante o qual uma entidade conceptual provê acesso a outra entidade conceptual dentro do mesmo domínio cognitivo. Na análise, descreve-se a estrutura das locuções, colocam-se exemplos da variedade das expressões e analisa-se o papel dos mecanismos da figuração mencionados na constituição do significado das locuções verbais selecionadas. Os resultados do trabalho constituem evidência para a relevância da metáfora e metonímia na constituição do significado das locuções verbais.
This thesis studies verbal locutions in Spanish with a high degree of idiomaticity and frequency of use. The main objective of this research is to investigate to what extent cognitive processes triggered by metaphors and metonymies are responsible for the meaning of these locutions. For this purpose, a set of verbal locutions in Spanish language is analyzed, such as meter algo en la cabeza (to put something in the head), cerrar la boca (to close the mouth) and abrir mano (to open the hand), that involve a part of the human body. The body parts chosen for the set of locutions to be analyzed are cabeza (head), boca (mouth) and mano (hand). The main source of data collection is the Diccionario de la Lengua Española. The work is carried out within the theoretical perspective of Cognitive Linguistics and conceives metaphor as a conceptual mapping between two cognitive domains with analogous properties; and metonymy, as a process whereby a conceptual entity provides access to another conceptual entity within the same cognitive domain. In the analysis, the structure of the locutions is described, examples of the variety of expressions are given, and the role of the mentioned mechanisms of figuration in the constitution of the meaning of the selected verbal locutions is analyzed. The results of this work constitute evidence for the relevance of metaphor and metonymy in the constitution of the meaning of verbal locutions.

Texto completoResumen
Metonymic and metaphoric language are thoroughly present in everyday
language, so much so that they hold in themselves strong explanatory capacity to
uncover and even influence underlying individual or social/cultural ideological
systems and beliefs about the world around us (Catalano & Waugh, 2013; 2014;
Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). The mapping systems involved in both metonymy and
metaphor provide access to conceptual and social heuristics that help us make
inferential and referential shortcuts (Littlemore, 2015), and thus these figurative
constructs are directly implicated as “natural inference schemas” that we engage
in the construction of meaning through written discourse (Panther & Thornburg,
2003). Further, these heuristics are environmental, social, and cognitively
appointed forces that shape how we understand things and how we work out
abstract concepts and how we reason and shape the world around us. Because of
this, metonymy and metaphor are crucial foci for any inquiry into how our
individual or systemic perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and thought processes
(Catalano & Waugh, 2014, p. 407) are revealed through the written discourses in
our world.
But, while conceptual metaphor has enjoyed a great deal of attention over
the last several decades, research into what metonymy can reveal as a potent
participant in social and cognitive meaning-making has been comparatively
scarce—a notion that is especially disconcerting given strong recent evidence to
suggest that metonymy conceptually “leads the way” to metaphor (Mittelberg &
Waugh, 2009). Inspired by this, this dissertation project seeks reparation for
metonymy’s relative neglect as an effective tool for critical discourse analysts.
Through an exploration of metonymy’s critical relationship to online discourse,
internationalization in higher education, and language policy and planning, the
three studies that comprise this project seek to engage the “explanatory and
practical aims” of critical discourse analysis and to support the tireless work of such
analysis that attempts “to uncover, reveal or disclose what is implicit, hidden or
otherwise not immediately obvious in relationships of discursively enacted
dominance [and] their underlying ideologies” (van Dijk, 1995).

Hilliard, Amanda. "Using cognitive linguistics to teach metaphor and metonymy in an EFL and an ESL context". Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2017. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/7830/.
Texto completoResumen
Developing an ability to understand and use metaphor is essential for successful language learning. While teachers/researchers have examined the effects of metaphor training in language classrooms, they have rarely embedded the instruction into a four skills language curriculum. To fill this gap, this study explores the effectiveness of metaphor instruction in developing reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills for both EFL and ESL learners. During this two-part study, the pre-test and post-test scores of an experimental group of 11 EFL students who received metaphor and metonymy instruction in the four skills were compared with a control group of 10 EFL students. Next, the test scores of two experimental groups of 11-12 ESL students who received metaphor and metonymy instruction in either reading and writing or listening and speaking were compared with two control groups of 12 ESL students. The thesis finds that explicit metaphor instruction can lead to modest improvements for some aspects of metaphor use. However, as different task types, genres, and topics were found to require different types and amounts of metaphor and metonymy use, the thesis also finds that it is essential to consider the nature of the communicative task when developing metaphor instruction.

Texto completoResumen
There currently exists limited published literature on methods for teaching complex verbal operants to individuals with autism. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PEAK – E curriculum in teaching receptive metonymical tacts using stimulus equivalence training procedures to children with autism. The procedures described in the PEAK – E program 10P – Equivalence: Metonymical Tacts were replicated across three children diagnosed with autism using a multiple baseline experimental design. The results of the suggest that the procedures were effective in teaching receptive metonymical tacts, with all three participants achieving mastery criteria. The results support and extend on previous studies by providing an empirical demonstration of effective procedures to teach receptive metonymical tacts to children with autism. The current study adds to progress behavior analysis in the direction of a behavior analytic understanding of complex verbal behavior.

Abstract Title: How to translate cultural references Language: French Author: Helena Forsell University/Department/Year: Linnaeus University/School of Language and Literature/2014 The main focus of this paper has been to find out which difficulties the translator comes across when trying to find cultural references that will apply in the target text. Since the original text treats a cultural aspect concerning the French gastronomic meal, the aim has also been to find out whether a deeply human trait, such as eating a meal in the company of others, produces translation problems despite a fairly common ground between French and Swedish culture. The source text used in this study is Convention pour la Sauvegarde du Patrimoine culturel immatériel, Dossier de Candidature n◦00437, which was published in 2010 and translated into Swedish in 2014. The main translation strategies used are adaptation, equivalence, addition and omission. Keywords: Cultural adaptation, translation strategies, reference, metonymy.

Texto completoResumen
In this work I propose that the rhetoric of technology is a kind of machinery of meaning-making that creates symbolic technologies that exist parallel with, but are distinct from, the material technologies they represent. The creation of symbolic technologies is dynamic and influenced by multiple and disparate communicative and ideological operations ranging from the writing and reading of technical manuals to processes of cultural indoctrination. As such, I use Barry Brummett's Rhetorical Dimensions of Popular Culture to demonstrate that technology is a coercive cultural force I call techno-culture. Under the influence of techno-culture, technical manufacture must be viewed as technology production and technical use must be viewed as technology utilization. This reformulation of terms emphasizes the fact that technology is manufactured and used according to the preferred significations of techno-culture. Fortunately, as the rhetoric of technology uncovers the processes by which techno-culture propagates hegemonic structures, the rhetoric of technology also provides users and manufacturers with the means to intervene. Metaphor and metonymy, as modes of meaning-making, are those means.

Texto completoResumen
This study explores uses of metaphor and metonymy related to the concept of anger in the American television series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 2012. The theoretical framework of the study is Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The data consists of metaphors and metonymies in the verbal and the pictorial mode. The pictorial data are visual expressions of the type called pictorial runes. In both modes, the underlying conceptual metaphors are identified, and the results are then compared between modes. The main finding is that the verbal mode contains a greater variety of metaphorical expressions. Explanations suggested for differences found between modes are: different technical possibilities of the two modes; universality in the pictorial mode and language specific metaphors as well as universal ones in the verbal mode; a connection of pictorial and verbal data respectively to different genres within the series; and the different narrator roles between the two modes.

Texto completoResumen
Ja and ye ('go' and 'come' respectively, from the Indian language Marathi) are first semantically examined as basic verbs of physical motion. Then instances which vary from this basic 'sense' of the words are analysed with respect to theories of polysemy via semantic extension (through metaphor and metonymy), and deixis. Some evidence is found to support theories of 'figurative' deixis, utilizing the concept of 'subjectivity' as a primary grounding force in our construction of meaning. Subjectivity is also implicated in the dominant mechanism of semantic shift by 'result' metonymy, wherein the word designating the event is semantically narrowed to designate only the result or outcome of the event. In discussing semantic extension through metaphor, the fundamental problem of distinguishing metaphorical from literal meaning is addressed, and 'image schemas' are invoked in the analysis of ja and ye. Data are chiefly from books on Ayurveda, and hence largely focus on the use of the ja and ye with reference to the human body.

Texto completoResumen
Having spent over 20 years under house arrest fighting for democracy in Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi has been a bastion for peace for decades. She has received many international awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, which she accepted in person in 2012. The plight of the Rohingya, a Muslim minority in Myanmar, has marred Suu Kyi’s reputation as a bastion of peace, leading to calls for her to lose her Peace Prize. Why is it that Suu Kyi’s image as the future of peace so different from reality? That question is what this research attempts to answer. Through a rhetorical analysis of Suu Kyi’s Nobel lecture and the media coverage that followed it, the impact of the use of tropes becomes evident. Metonymy, synecdoche, and narrative emerge in both the lecture and media coverage. Suu Kyi’s use of tropes heavily influences public perception of her.

Texto completoResumen
This paper analyses the similarities and differences of the cognitive structures of the English-Swedish idiom pair to step into someone’s shoes and att axla någons mantel (to shoulder someone’s mantle [lit.]) in order to investigate possible conceptual or embodied motivations for their meanings. Using dictionaries and corpora to support all findings, the conceptual nature and intended meaning of each idiom were closely analysed and compared. The investigation shows metaphorical, metonymical and embodied structures which might possibly explain why these two idioms mean the same thing as a whole even though they are lexically different from each other. The results indicate that conceptual and embodied mechanisms have motivated the meanings of the idioms, thus suggesting that idiom comprehension in general as well as second language learning would greatly benefit from a more cognitive approach.

Utilizing the unique personal life experience and explore deeper to the psychological level. Use self observations, reflect what the children encountered from my workplace, to show their pressure and depression, involved during the development of psychology and sociology areas. This thesis is a personal creative thinking through the visual images to convey the idea of metonymy, in addition to clarify personal creative context and to illuminate the inherent value of the thoughts, and further understand in the footsteps of the speedy community, childhood gradually fade away. The thesis is divided into five chapters, the first chapter is introduction of the creative theme, motivation, scope and interpretation of the term. Chapter II studies the academic foundation to explore the trends in modern society of children’s development needs, author’s creation ideas, as well as, Chinese and Western artists’ works and how it related and impacted from their childhood.

Tracy, DALE. "Compassion and its Contiguities: Witness Poetry and Metonymic Reponse". Thesis, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/1974/8082.
Texto completoResumen
I read witness poetry as a model of response to suffering. Compassion is feeling together with another. Compassion is, then, opposed to empathy’s feeling as another. Compassion can be better understood through the witness poetry that privileges metonymical relationships in which readers are contiguously positioned in relationship to a speaker. This emphasis on relationship can be contrasted to the collapse of relationship in identification in which a reader reads as though he or she is the lyric I, the poetic voice, rather than a listener. I discuss this reader-as-listener in contrast to the trauma studies-influenced discourse surrounding witness poetry, a discourse which focuses on indexical poetic evidence of a poet’s wounds and the transferability of the poet’s trauma to readers.
Compassionate response, as demonstrated by this poetry, is premised on a recognition of one’s intimacy with or distance from that which one witnesses. Distance is not synonymous with disengagement, but rather with the space of relationship through which connection and consideration is possible. All intimacy involves some distance; the two are not opposites, but a continuum.
Witness involves waiting: response derives from the time of relation through which it might form. This waiting has reflection as its retrospective partner. Together, they form commemoration, which brings reflection into future and communal celebration and remembrance. Com-memoration is linked to com-passion in this communal element. My project engages witness poetry as a communal form inviting feeling in community, response to widespread suffering, and the establishment of relationship and connection.Thesis (Ph.D, English) -- Queen's University, 2013-06-18 10:21:39.793

The perspective of metonymy is used to examine the postcolonial problems and the difficulties of protagonist in Naipaul’s The Mimic Men. Metonymic presence is the main point for discussion. Metonymic presences are illusions. In this novel, the people of Isabella, and in particular the protagonist Singh, are “mimic men” who are short on vision. They take metonymic presences as truth. Naipaul’s depicts the predicament of the people of Isabella in this novel. The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter elucidates the importance of metonymic presences and introduces the background of this novel. It also outlines Bbabha’s mimicry theory and summarizes the other chapters. The second chapter applies Bhabha’s mimicry theory to analyze this novel and explains all the metonymies in detail. Foucault’s power theory is applied in the third chapter and the power metonymies in this novel are illustrated via his theory. In this chapter, the subtle ways of the power exercise of the colonizer is emphasized. In the fourth chapter, Lacan’s desire theory is applied and the novel’s psychological metonymies are presented. Lacan’s desire theory will be further applied to discuss the desire of the people of Isabella. In the fifth chapter, Derrida’s differance theory is utilized. The differantial metonymies in this novel are identified and explained. In the conclusion, the perspective of metonymy is further applied to analyze Naipaul's novel—Half a Life. Both the protagonists suffer from a sense of an incomplete self.
