Description

Metonymy and Language presents a groundbreaking theory of linguistic communication centred on metonymy - the recognition of partial matches and overlaps in language. Drawing on original research and rigorous data analysis, this study characterises metonymy as fundamental to understanding why language achieves such remarkable flexibility and communicative precision. The work introduces the concept of metonymic competence and explores how metonymic behaviour extends beyond everyday communication into recreational activities like puzzles, quizzes and wordplay. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Linguistics series, this book offers scholars, linguists and language researchers a fresh perspective on how language processing works and why linguistic subtlety emerges naturally from metonymic principles.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in Linguistics series publication providing peer-reviewed linguistic research on metonymy theory.

Original data sets and primary research demonstrate metonymic competence as central to language understanding.

Explores how partial matches and overlaps in language create flexibility and communicative fit.

Examines metonymic behaviour in both formal communication and recreational language activities like puzzles and play.
