Beschreibung
This monograph provides new insights into variation in metonymy, focusing especially on changes of naming with respect to a particular concept. Its systematically designed and presented case studies delineate how both linguistic and cultural-social factors exert an influence on metonymic conceptualization, and demonstrate the importance of corpus data and quantitative methods in exploring and visualizing metonymic variation.
