Abstract

This paper focuses on the methodology followed by South Tunisian old people to name technological devises. The authors rely on findings of previous research (Boubakri 2015) and analyse this topic following a cognitive approach. Conclusions show that metaphtonymy this naming and is motivated by the psychological state of the user.
