Linguistic Metonymy: Implicitness and Co-Activation of Mental Content

by Mate Toth and Toth

The book defines linguistic metonymy as the implicit co-activation of source, target, and the relation between them. Furthermore, it proposes a typology of metonymies based on the mental contents they involve. These results may prevent the category of metonymy from becoming unlimited and enhance its empirical study.
