A narrower definition is proposed, co-activating the source, target, and relation to express only the target linguistically. A typology of metonymies is also suggested based on mental contents, enhancing the empirical study of metonymic phenomena. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 November 2018\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Peter Lang AG\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the past few decades, cognitive linguistic research has transformed metonymy from the poor sister of metaphor into a pervasive conceptual phenomenon. However, this broad notion of metonymy might risk becoming overly unrestricted and devoid of meaningful content. To address this issue, the author proposes a narrower definition of metonymy, according to which linguistic metonymies co-activate the source, the target, and the relation between them, resulting in the linguistic expression of only the target. Furthermore, the author advocates for a typology of metonymies based on the mental contents they involve. These findings have the potential to prevent the limitless expansion of the metonymy category and to advance our understanding of metonymic phenomena through empirical research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the past few decades, cognitive linguistic research has transformed metonymy from the poor sister of metaphor into a pervasive conceptual phenomenon.
