Description

This chapter emphasizes the extent and importance of metonymy for lexical semantics and argues that metonymy should be distinguished from various meaning extensions based on elaboration and metaphor.In the area of semantic and lexical relations, the chapter shows that metonymy uses some of the same conceptual configurations that support traditional sense relationships as meronymy, hyponymy, antonymy and complementarity, reversives, and a large number of synonyms.
