Ten chapters, developed from the editors' 2024 ESSE Lausanne seminar together with invited contributions from leading scholars, trace conceptual metaphor and metonymy across historical semantics, word-formation, corpus linguistics, political journalism, euphemism, film music, and pandemic-era visual rhetoric. Organized in two parts – metaphor and metonymy in context, and across discourse types and modalities – the volume gives particular attention to metaphor-metonymy interaction (metaphtonymy) and to multimodal realizations in image, gesture, and sound. Drawing on English, Chinese, Croatian, and cross-linguistic data, it will interest cognitive linguists, discourse analysts, and scholars of translation, media, and multimodality seeking an up-to-date picture of the field a quarter-century on. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/hcp.82.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027238061.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027238061.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/hcp.82.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/hcp.82.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/hcp.82.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/hcp.82.hb.png 10 01 JB code hcp.82.prelim i iv 4 Prelim pages -1 10 01 JB code hcp.82.toc v vi 2 Table of contents 0 10 01 JB code hcp.82.int 1 15 15 Chapter 1 1 A01 Robert Kiełtyka Kiełtyka, Robert Robert Kiełtyka University of Rzeszów 2 A01 Mario Brdar Brdar, Mario Mario Brdar University of Osijek 3 A01 Marcin Kudła Kudła, Marcin Marcin Kudła University of Rzeszów 4 A01 Goran Milić Milić, Goran Goran Milić University of Osijek 10 01 JB code hcp.82.p1 Section header 2 10 01 JB code hcp.82.01bar 18 43 26 Chapter 3 1 A01 Antonio Barcelona Barcelona, Antonio Antonio Barcelona Universidad de Córdoba 20 active / dormant metonymy 20 co-textual factors 20 frames 20 metonymy database 20 non-cotextual factors 20 triggering power 01 This chapter analyses data in our metonymy database. Metonymic triggers are the contextual factors that prompt the operation of a conceptual metonymy. They can be co-textual, like the immediate lexicogrammatical co-text (ict), or not co-textual, like frames. The results of the analysis show that the ict triggers active (act) metonymies that in turn prompt readings qualified by frames, as in the example <i>To think that the same petticoats should come between two of my boys!</i>, where the ict does not prompt strongly enough the reading of <i>petticoats</i> as “petticoat wearers” and an “act” metonymy triggers the frame in turn prompting that reading. Direct prompting by the ict of the intended reading (the motivating metonymy then remaining “dormant”) is also frequent. Both situations occur with constructions (lexical or syntactic). The comprehension of indirect speech acts and implicatures is normally guided by act metonymies whose main triggers are not co-textual but strictly cognitive. 10 01 JB code hcp.82.02kie 44 78 35 Chapter 4 1 A01 Robert Kiełtyka Kiełtyka, Robert Robert Kiełtyka University of Rzeszów 2 A01 Marcin Kudła Kudła, Marcin Marcin Kudła University of Rzeszów 20 conversion 20 denominal verbs 20 diachrony 20 metaphor 20 metaphtonymy 20 metonymy 01 This chapter investigates the diachronic semantic development of denominal verbs derived from English nouns referring to internal organs, focusing on the cognitive mechanisms underlying these morphological processes. Drawing on data from the history of English, the study demonstrates the central role of metonymy in verb formation, particularly through the patterns <sc>patient for action</sc> and <sc>instrument for action</sc>. Additionally, the analysis identifies complex metaphtonymic interactions, whereby metaphorically conceived containers of emotion are metonymically extended to encode actions or experiences. These findings illustrate how cultural conceptualizations of the body interact with embodied experience and linguistic creativity. Metaphtonymy emerges as a powerful explanatory framework for both the historical durability and semantic richness of certain verbs, additionally suggesting directions for cross-linguistic research on body-based verb formation. 10 01 JB code hcp.82.03mun 79 121 43 Chapter 5 1 A01 Carmen Portero Muñoz Portero Muñoz, Carmen Carmen Portero Muñoz University of Cordoba 20 container for content metonymy 20 containment metaphor 20 derived nouns in -ful 20 embodiment 20 grammaticalization 20 lexical quantifiers 01 A particular subset of lexical quantifiers in English involves derived nouns ending in -<i>ful</i>, such as <i>handful</i> and <i>spoonful</i>.

By analyzing a diverse corpus, this study explores how food metaphors function in emotional expression, social bonding, moral value transmission, identity formation, and cultural symbolism. Expressions like <i>chī cù</i> (吃醋</span>, “eat vinegar”) metaphorically represent jealousy, linking the “sourness” of vinegar with the emotional experience of jealousy. Socially, the phrase <i>chī fàn</i> (吃饭</span>, “eat a meal”) is often used to signify the deepening of friendships and the building of social ties. Metaphorical food naming, such as <i>longan</i> (龙眼</span>, “dragon eye”) not only serves as a descriptive metaphor but also conveys auspicious meanings, reflecting a desire for positive outcomes. This study provides insights into the connection between metaphor, cognition, and cultural understanding. 10 01 JB code hcp.82.05zha 143 162 20 Chapter 7 1 A01 Ziyi Zhao Zhao, Ziyi Ziyi Zhao University of Glasgow 20 color metaphors 20 cross-cultural comparison 20 diachronic research 01 Within studies on the interaction between metonymy and metaphor, little cross-cultural research has examined metaphors arising from metonymies. This paper compares the development of the metaphorical meaning ‘youth’ shared by <i>green</i> and its Chinese counterpart <i>qing</i>, by diachronically investigating <i>green</i> and <i>qing</i> in four historical periods of English and Chinese using historical corpora. <br />The results show that <i>green</i> and <i>qing</i> have the connotation of youth of plants etymologically, which develops into the metaphorical meaning ‘youth’ in a process that moves from metonymy to metaphor. The similarity is driven by potential universal patterns in metaphorical conceptualization, which motivate the same connotation (youth) of the same metonymic bases (plants) and the same metaphorical mapping. Culturally motivated patterns also work in the process. 10 01 JB code hcp.82.p2 163 1 Section header 8 10 01 JB code hcp.82.06sza 164 181 18 Chapter 9 1 A01 Lilla Petronella Szabó Szabó, Lilla Petronella Lilla Petronella Szabó Corvinus University of Budapest 2 A01 Utku Bozdag Bozdag, Utku Utku Bozdag Corvinus University of Budapest 3 A01 Réka Benczes Benczes, Réka Réka Benczes Corvinus University of Budapest 20 foe 20 foreign affairs 20 friend 20 headline 20 political journalism 20 space metaphor 01 In political journalism, capital cities often represent administrations through the <sc>capital for government</sc> metonymy. This metonymy is more prominent for countries seen as allies or threats, and less for neutral governments. However, it remains unclear whether the <sc>capital for government</sc> metonymy shifts over time, particularly with changes in political leadership. To address this, the chapter analyzes how capital cities the American public perceives as threats (Beijing, Moscow, Tehran, Pyongyang) and allies (London, Ottawa, Tel Aviv, Brussels) were represented on CNN and Fox News during the first two years of the Trump and Biden administrations. The findings show that metonymic representation was more frequent for threats than allies, regardless of presidential agenda or media outlet, likely due to sensationalist reporting in American media. 10 01 JB code hcp.82.07brd 182 213 32 Chapter 10 1 A01 Mario Brdar Brdar, Mario Mario Brdar University of Osijek 2 A01 Rita Brdar Szabó Brdar Szabó, Rita Rita Brdar Szabó Eötvös Loránd University 20 3D model of metonymy 20 cumulative metonymy 20 metaphoric chain 20 metonymic chain 20 polysemy 01 In this chapter we study metonymies as they interact in discourse, expanding on the framework developed in Brdar-Szabó &#38; Brdar (2011) and Brdar &#38; Brdar-Szabó (2025), and focusing on what metonymic chains reveal about the nature of metonymy. Our main goal is to demonstrate that metonymic chains are different from metaphoric chains with respect to the dynamicity vs. the constancy meaning of the chained elements. While the meaning of metaphors in a chain tends to remain constant as the chain evolves, the situation with textual metonymic chains is very different: the meaning of these metonymies is dynamically construed and often fluctuates, oscillates, or keeps picking up new elements as the chain develops, as demonstrated on three case studies. 10 01 JB code hcp.82.08gra 214 242 29 Chapter 11 1 A01 Tanja Gradečak-Erdeljić Gradečak-Erdeljić, Tanja Tanja Gradečak-Erdeljić University of Osijek 2 A01 Goran Milić Milić, Goran Goran Milić University of Osijek 20 Corpus-assisted Critical Discourse Analysis 20 euphemization 20 migration discourse framing 20 orthophemism 20 schematization 01 The focus of this study is on the top-down influence of migration experts and refugee protection institutions on migration discourse in the public sphere in Croatia. The aim of this study is to examine the euphemistic effect of the metaphor’s degree of schematicity (Clausner &#38; Croft, 1997), in this case of the <sc>migration</sc> domain, as a schematic representation of motion instigated by the <sc>generic for specific</sc> metonymy. A comparison is made between the data set from our previous research on migration discourse (Gradečak et al., 2021) with the data elicited form the MaCoCu corpus of Croatian. The secondary research goal was to observe the use of the English construction as it was adopted in the Croatian expert discourse and the media and compare them to the use of the constructions with <sc>water</sc> as the source domain. 10 01 JB code hcp.82.09grz 243 266 24 Chapter 12 1 A01 Agnieszka Grzasko Grzasko, Agnieszka Agnieszka Grzasko University of Rzeszów 20 auditory mode 20 Casablanca 20 film score 20 metaphor 20 visual mode 01 The score from <i>Casablanca</i>, particularly the recurring but never fully played “As time goes by,” is analysed from a cognitive perspective. We discuss how meaning emerges from the interaction of musical and visual components. The music transforms across scenes, symbolizing evolving feelings. We propose a central metaphor: <sc>changes in emotions are changes in sounds</sc>, supported by subordinate metaphors such as <sc>joy and hope are major keys</sc> and <sc>pain and uncertainty are minor keys</sc>. Our analysis shows how visual and musical elements work together to evoke emotional responses, emphasizing the role of sound in shaping narrative meaning. 10 01 JB code hcp.82.10loz 267 297 31 Chapter 13 1 A01 Inés Lozano-Palacio Lozano-Palacio, Inés Inés Lozano-Palacio Universitat Politècnica de València 2 A01 Rita Brdar Szabó Brdar Szabó, Rita Rita Brdar Szabó ELTE, Budapest 3 A01 Mario Brdar Brdar, Mario Mario Brdar University of Osijek 20 attitudinal use of figurative language 20 conceptual integration 20 intertextuality 20 Iwo Jima 20 multimodality 20 non-verbal irony 20 verbal irony 20 visual metaphor 20 visual metonymy 01 The coronavirus has been portrayed figuratively by means of metaphors and metonymies, often combined with hyperbole and/or irony, giving rise to complex combinations of these figures of thought. The present article focuses on the combinations involved in a highly recurrent image used to address COVID-related issues: the lifting of the American flag by marines on Iwo Jima. Through visual intertextuality links are created to topics ranging from the morale-boosting representation of professionals holding the healthcare system together to the criticism of Trump’s misuse of the pandemic to avert impeachment. In ironic uses of this image, the target and source domains of the visual metaphor are built through the integration of conceptual structure, and the metaphor provides the epistemic and attested scenarios. 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 02 March 2027 20270315 2027 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027238061 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 10 20270315 01 00 130.00 EUR R 01 00 109.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 169.00 USD S 142032316 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code HCP 82 Hb 15 9789027238061 BB 01 HCP 02 1387-6724 Human Cognitive Processing 82 01 hcp.82 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/hcp.82 1 B01 Robert Kiełtyka Kiełtyka, Robert Robert Kiełtyka University of Rzeszów 2 B01 Mario Brdar Brdar, Mario Mario Brdar University of Osijek 3 B01 Marcin Kudła Kudła, Marcin Marcin Kudła University of Rzeszów 4 B01 Goran Milić Milić, Goran Goran Milić University of Osijek 01 eng 310 vi 297 + index LAN009030 v.2006 CFG 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.COGN Cognition and language 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.COGPSY Cognitive linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.DISC Discourse studies 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.PRAG Pragmatics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 06 01 <i>New Vistas in Research on Metaphor and Metonymy: Their contexts and interaction across discourse types and modalities</i>, edited by Robert Kie&#322;tyka, Mario Brdar, Marcin Kud&#322;a, and Goran Mili&#263;, revisits a research programme first mapped out at ESSE Debrecen in 1997 and its landmark proceedings (Barcelona 2000).

In ironic uses of this image, the target and source domains of the visual metaphor are built through the integration of conceptual structure, and the metaphor provides the epistemic and attested scenarios. 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 02 March 2027 20270315 2027 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 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 10 20270315 01 02 JB 1 00 130.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 137.80 EUR R 01 JB 10 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 GB 10 20270315 02 02 JB 1 00 109.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 Casemate Academic 610-853-9131 610-853-9143 Girard.Kratz@casematepublishers.com 01 https://benjamins.com 02 US CA MX 10 20270315 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 169.00 USD
