Metonymy and Metaphor in Grammar
By:"Klaus-Uwe Panther","Linda L. Thornburg","Antonio Barcelona"
Published on 2009 by John Benjamins Publishing
with the advent of Cognitive Linguistics, metonymy and metaphor are now recognized as being not only ornamental rhetorical tropes but fundamental figures of thought that shape, to a considerable extent, the conceptual structure of languages. The present volume goes even beyond this insight to propose that grammar itself is metonymical in nature (Langacker) and that conceptual metonymy and metaphor leave their imprints on lexicogrammatical structure.
