Theoretically, it sheds light on metonymy from an onomasiological perspective, which helps to discover the different conceptual or lexical "pathways" through which a concept or a group of concepts has been designated by going back to the source concepts. In addition, it broadens the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics research on metonymy by looking into how metonymic conceptualization and usage may vary along various dimensions. Three case studies explore significant variation in metonymy across different languages, time periods, genres and social lects. Methodologically, the monograph responds to the call in Cognitive Linguistics to adopt usage-based empirical methodologies. The case studies show that quantification and statistical techniques constitute essential parts of an empirical analysis based on corpus data. The empirical findings demonstrate the essential need to extend research on metonymy in a variationist Cognitive Linguistics direction by studying metonymy?s cultural, historical and social-lectal variation. 410 0$aCognitive linguistics research ;$vVolume 59. 606 $aCognitive grammar$xSocial aspects 606 $aDiscourse analysis$xSocial aspects 610 $aCognitive Linguistics, Corpus Linguistics, Metonymy, Cultural Studies. 615 0$aCognitive grammar$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis$xSocial aspects. 676 $a306.44 700 $aZhang$b Weiwei$0720355 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798104603321 996 $aVariation in Metonymy$91399542 997 $aUNINA
