Metaphor and Metonymy
Metonymy, as often treated as a subtype of metaphor by cognitive linguistics, has a different working mechanism; metaphor is based on perceived similarity between things while metonymy on the relationship within things themselves.

In this paper we make the case for corpus-based metonymy analysis and show that many interesting linguistic and statistical questions can only be answered by working with real texts. To facilitate such studies, we present a method for annotating metonymies in domain and genre-independent text. We advocate an annotation scheme that builds on regularities in metonymic usage, that takes underspeci...

After having given a general characterization of metaphoric and metonymic conce...
