Analysis of metonymic triggers, metonymic chaining, and patterns of interaction with metaphor and with other metonymies as part of the metonymy database in the Córdoba project
This chapter offers a continuation of the chapters presented by Antonio Barcelona and Olga Blanco-Carrión in this same volume. Consequently, it deals with part of the results of the project FFI2012–36523, focused on the development of a detailed database on metonymy. The present chapter discusses the issues addressed in the remaining fields of the database entry model, namely Fields 8, 9 and 11. First, the chapter addresses the identification of the triggers leading to the operation – or blockage – of the metonymy (Field 8). The subsequent section analyzes the cases of metonymic chaining (Field 9), as proposed in Barcelona (2005). Finally, it studies the patterns of interaction that the metonymy may have with metaphors and/or other metonymies (Field 11).
