Description

Explore a fresh perspective on communication with Metonymy and Language: A New Theory of Linguistic Processing. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Studies in Linguistics series, this work offers a deep dive into how we process language through the lens of metonymy. By focusing on the recognition of partial matches and overlaps, Denroche provides a framework for understanding the flexibility and subtlety of human speech. This study uses original data sets and rigorous primary research to explain why language is so effective for its intended purposes. Readers will learn about the concept of metonymic competence and how it functions in everyday life. The book demonstrates that metonymic behavior is not just a linguistic tool but is also central to recreational activities like puzzles, quizzes, and play. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the mechanics of language, translation, and interpretation.
