By applying a cross-linguistic perspective in studying the relationship between grammar and metonymy to the example of so-called embellished clippings and local genitive constructions (arising via an anti-associative-like stage) we demonstrate that whether a certain type of metonymy is available in a given language is dependent on the ecological conditions present in the system (including its word-formation system). The relationship between grammar and metonymy is quite complex: it often involves genuine two-way interaction, and it is often a whole cluster of interrelated structural facts that can formally align potential metonymic source expressions and thus facilitate or, conversely, pre-empt the application of a given metonymy. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.06ath 152 175 24 Chapter 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;6. <i>If</i>-clauses and their figurative basis</TitleText> 1 A01 Angeliki Athanasiadou Athanasiadou, Angeliki Angeliki Athanasiadou Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 20 conditional constructions 20 course of eventness 20 hypotheticality 20 metaphor 20 metonymy 01 <abstract> The objective of the chapter is to demonstrate that the cognitive processes of metaphor and metonymy may determine the form of grammatical constructions and may be responsible for the elaboration of their meaning. The positions that constitute the framework in the chapter are: (a) both cognitive processes interact and pave the ground for the semantic organization and the communicative effect of grammatical constructions; (b) metonymy, being subliminal, seems to be more ubiquitous than metaphor, the latter process being most of the times based on preexisting metonymy; (c) each of the two processes operates differently encouraging the use of lexical items from the domain of conditionality. Both figurative processes, it will be claimed, contribute to broadening our understanding of grammar. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.p2 179 249 71 Section header 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part II.

The hand in figurative thought and language</TitleText> 1 A01 Ad Foolen Foolen, Ad Ad Foolen Radboud University Nijmegen 20 Dutch 20 enactive embodiment 20 hand 20 laterality 20 numerals 01 <abstract> The hand is a rich source of figurative language. The paper claims that this richness has to do with the central role of the hand in human active involvement in the world. This claim fits recent developments in phenomenological philosophy, according to which cognition is based on enactive embodiment. The empirical part of the paper uses examples from Dutch and other languages, both on the lexical and the phraseological level. It turns out that most figurative uses of the words for &#8216;hand&#8217; are of the metonymic type. Special attention is given to the target domain of numerals. Finally, it is shown that laterality plays a role: The right hand is used in figurative expressions with a positive connotation, whereas the left hand leads to expressions with a negative connotation. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.08ras 200 229 30 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;8.

Highlighting the shared metonymic mappings involving human beings as targets (<sc>x for human</sc>) and vehicles (<sc>human for x)</sc>and the similarities/differences in their lexical and grammatical realization in the two languages, the analysis shows that concepts from the human domain are readily recruited both as targets and as vehicles of metonymic mappings, whereby preferences towards particular kinds of human-related concepts as vehicles or targets outweigh language-specific differences, yielding a rather consistent metonymic portrayal of humans in English and Serbian. The analysis is followed by a discussion of the diagnostic potential of human-related metonymies for content-based cross-linguistic study of conceptual metonymy. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.09lu 232 249 18 Chapter 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;9.

It recalls not only figure/ground alignment [&#8230;] but also the more general point that novel experience is structured and interpreted with reference to previous experience&#8221;. In this paper I argue that metaphor and metonymy are in a sense, if not par excellence, fanciful &#8220;asymmetry&#8221;-builders: their pertinent characteristic, i.e.<i>association</i>in terms of similarity and contiguity, always warrants that &#8220;novel experiences&#8221; (targets) are safely structured and interpreted with reference to &#8220;previous experiences&#8221; (sources); in other words, it always ensures that the imaginative, playful departure from an "established background" will not lead us astray. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.11col 274 294 21 Chapter 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;11.

Different resulting patterns in such blends are approached first through deconstruction of pragmatic effects in individual figures such as metaphor, synecdoche, broader metonymy, verbal irony and others. How blends of those figures can then afford cancellation, facilitation, combination and other outcomes for their corralled pragmatic effects is then demonstrated from previous research and consideration of blended figurative examples, most prominently blends of metaphor and metonymy, or metaphtonymy. A call for further research and delineation of some specific issues warranted by such an exploration is then offered. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.12ath 296 321 26 Chapter 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;12.

The relationship between grammar and metonymy is quite complex: it often involves genuine two-way interaction, and it is often a whole cluster of interrelated structural facts that can formally align potential metonymic source expressions and thus facilitate or, conversely, pre-empt the application of a given metonymy. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.06ath 152 175 24 Chapter 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;6. <i>If</i>-clauses and their figurative basis</TitleText> 1 A01 Angeliki Athanasiadou Athanasiadou, Angeliki Angeliki Athanasiadou Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 20 conditional constructions 20 course of eventness 20 hypotheticality 20 metaphor 20 metonymy 01 <abstract> The objective of the chapter is to demonstrate that the cognitive processes of metaphor and metonymy may determine the form of grammatical constructions and may be responsible for the elaboration of their meaning. The positions that constitute the framework in the chapter are: (a) both cognitive processes interact and pave the ground for the semantic organization and the communicative effect of grammatical constructions; (b) metonymy, being subliminal, seems to be more ubiquitous than metaphor, the latter process being most of the times based on preexisting metonymy; (c) each of the two processes operates differently encouraging the use of lexical items from the domain of conditionality. Both figurative processes, it will be claimed, contribute to broadening our understanding of grammar. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.p2 179 249 71 Section header 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part II.

The hand in figurative thought and language</TitleText> 1 A01 Ad Foolen Foolen, Ad Ad Foolen Radboud University Nijmegen 20 Dutch 20 enactive embodiment 20 hand 20 laterality 20 numerals 01 <abstract> The hand is a rich source of figurative language. The paper claims that this richness has to do with the central role of the hand in human active involvement in the world. This claim fits recent developments in phenomenological philosophy, according to which cognition is based on enactive embodiment. The empirical part of the paper uses examples from Dutch and other languages, both on the lexical and the phraseological level. It turns out that most figurative uses of the words for &#8216;hand&#8217; are of the metonymic type. Special attention is given to the target domain of numerals. Finally, it is shown that laterality plays a role: The right hand is used in figurative expressions with a positive connotation, whereas the left hand leads to expressions with a negative connotation. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.08ras 200 229 30 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;8.

Highlighting the shared metonymic mappings involving human beings as targets (<sc>x for human</sc>) and vehicles (<sc>human for x)</sc>and the similarities/differences in their lexical and grammatical realization in the two languages, the analysis shows that concepts from the human domain are readily recruited both as targets and as vehicles of metonymic mappings, whereby preferences towards particular kinds of human-related concepts as vehicles or targets outweigh language-specific differences, yielding a rather consistent metonymic portrayal of humans in English and Serbian. The analysis is followed by a discussion of the diagnostic potential of human-related metonymies for content-based cross-linguistic study of conceptual metonymy. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.09lu 232 249 18 Chapter 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;9.

In this chapter, I sketch a possible route of semantic extension of<i>sh&#224;ng</i>and argue that its synchronic distribution is symptomatic of semantic attenuation and subjectification. I also propose an image-schematic structure for each of the relevant senses of<i>sh&#224;ng</i>identified.

It recalls not only figure/ground alignment [&#8230;] but also the more general point that novel experience is structured and interpreted with reference to previous experience&#8221;. In this paper I argue that metaphor and metonymy are in a sense, if not par excellence, fanciful &#8220;asymmetry&#8221;-builders: their pertinent characteristic, i.e.<i>association</i>in terms of similarity and contiguity, always warrants that &#8220;novel experiences&#8221; (targets) are safely structured and interpreted with reference to &#8220;previous experiences&#8221; (sources); in other words, it always ensures that the imaginative, playful departure from an "established background" will not lead us astray. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.11col 274 294 21 Chapter 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;11.

Different resulting patterns in such blends are approached first through deconstruction of pragmatic effects in individual figures such as metaphor, synecdoche, broader metonymy, verbal irony and others. How blends of those figures can then afford cancellation, facilitation, combination and other outcomes for their corralled pragmatic effects is then demonstrated from previous research and consideration of blended figurative examples, most prominently blends of metaphor and metonymy, or metaphtonymy. A call for further research and delineation of some specific issues warranted by such an exploration is then offered. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.12ath 296 321 26 Chapter 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;12.

This chapter reviews the available empirical evidence for a fundamental metaphoric structure such as<sc>time is space</sc>in figurative language and thought. The chapter is organized into three over-arching themes:<i>Motion through time, temporal succession</i>, and<i>duration estimation</i>. A large part of the experimental evidence lends support to the psychological reality of the<sc>time is space</sc>metaphor, revealing the inextricable link between conceptual metaphor in language and time perception. The review also reveals that linguistic space-time mappings may be overridden by cultural conventions, calling for further empirical cross-linguistic and cross-cultural exploration within experimental cognitive linguistics. </abstract> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.ni 323 1 Miscellaneous 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code hcp.56.si 325 327 3 Miscellaneous 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20170426 2017 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 08 745 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 38 20 01 02 JB 1 00 95.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 100.70 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 20 02 02 JB 1 00 80.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 1 20 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 143.00 USD
