Metonymy and Language

- A New Theory of Linguistic Processing

Bag om Metonymy and Language

Metonymy and Language presents a new theory of language and communication in which the central focus is on the concept of metonymy, the recognition of partial matches and overlaps. Through the use of original data sets and rigorous primary research, Denroche characterizes metonymy as key to understanding why language is so `fit for purpose¿ and how it achieves such great subtlety and flexibility. This study develops the notion of `metonymic competence,¿ and shows the possible impact of the application of metonymic processing theory to professional fields, such as language teaching and translator training.
