Vosshagen's paper focuses on antonymy as a metonymic relation. This metonymy shows up in irony, where usually a positive concept metonymically stands for a negative concept, and in some conventionalized lexical items such as 'terribly' in 'It was terribly amusing'. As a rule, the metonymy applies to evaluative concepts, which are semantically scalar but are reinterpreted as complementary. (Klaus-Uwe Panther and Günter Radden)
