Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3 (A), University of Hamburg (Anglistics Seminar), course: Seminar II: Cognitive English Grammar, 7 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: For centuries, the study of metonymy and metaphor has been regarded purely a matter of style and rhetoric. In addition to that, research into metonymic relationship traditionally has been put only second to the phenomenon of metaphor. However, things have changed a little over the past decades. Especially after Lakoff/ Johnson had published their influential work on metaphor and conceptualization ("Metaphors we live by", 1980) research into cognitive aspects of language gained more ground in linguistics. Deeper insight into the way we structure our perception of the world has led to the conclusion that both, metaphor and metonymy, must be regarded as cognitive phenomena. As such they illustrate the fact that "fundamental cognitive abilities and experientially derived cognitive models have direct and pervasive linguistic manifestations" (Langacker, 1993, p.1) and, conversely, that by ways of examining language we can analyse important aspects of the way our mind is structured. As for metonymy, the relationship between thought and language is characterised by the fact that "an expression that normally designs one entity is used instead to designate another, associated entity" (Langacker, 1993, p. 29). Crucial questions which spring from this assumption are: How and why do we understand metonymies? Which principles are involved in the process of creating and understanding metonymic expressions and why can we rely on them?1 In the following, I will answer these questions on the basis of Ronald W. Langacker ́s essay "Reference-point Construction" (Langacker, 1993). I will apply Langacker ́s theoretical notions to a rather specific area of language: telic verbs. By way of referring to a selection of telic ve

This innovative work combines traditional analysis with modern corpus-based methods to explore macro- and micro-level linguistic patterns in English and Chinese, offering new insights into comparative studies of the two languages. Through detailed analysis of part-of-speech sequences, prepositional functions, pragmatic markers, and several other aspects, this volume uncovers key similarities and differences between English and Chinese. By integrating quantitative and qualitative methods with large-scale linguistic data, the book pushes the boundaries of contrastive linguistics, bridges cultural and linguistic divides, and deepens our understanding of how the two languages function and interact. This book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in contrastive linguistics and the intersection of language, technology, and culture. It will also be essential reading for educators and practitioners in language teaching and translation.

This collection of papers takes linguists to the leading edge of techniques in generative lexicon theory, the linguistic composition methodology that arose from the imperative to provide a compositional semantics for the contextual modifications in meaning that emerge in real linguistic usage. Today’s growing shift towards distributed compositional analyses evinces the applicability of GL theory, and the contributions to this volume, presented at three international workshops (GL-2003, GL-2005 and GL-2007) address the relationship between compositionality in language and the mechanisms of selection in grammar that are necessary to maintain this property. The core unresolved issues in compositionality, relating to the interpretation of context and the mechanisms of selection, are treated from varying perspectives within GL theory, including its basic theoretical mechanisms and its analytical viewpoint on linguistic phenomena.

Meaning does not reside in linguistic units but is constructed in the minds of the language users. Meaning construction is an on-line mental activity whereby speech participants create meanings on the basis of underspecified linguistic units. The construction of meaning is guided by cognitive principles. The contributions collected in the volume focus on two types of cognitive principles guiding meaning construction: meaning construction by means of metonymy and metaphor, and meaning construction by means of mental spaces and conceptual blending. The papers in the former group survey experiential evidence of figurative meaning construction and discuss high-level metaphor and metonymy, the role of metonymy in discourse, the chaining of metonymies, metonymy as an alternative to coercion, and metaphtonymic meanings of proper names. The papers in the latter group address the issues of meaning construction prompted by personal pronouns, relative clauses, inferential constructions, “sort-of” expressions, questions, and the into-causative construction.
