This text finds strong metaphorical connections between the valence of the emotion and the lightness of the associated colours and between the intensity of an emotion and the saturation level of the associated colours. It explores the different ways in which humans express emotions through colour, and the reasons why they do so.

The notion of matrix domain in metonymy needs further exploration in connection to its role in the unfolding of contextual elements in discourse. On the basis of different dialogues in Chinese, I examine the way shifts in indirect speech act meaning relate to changes in the metonymic source and target domains underlying such meaning. I claim that matrix domains can have different configurations within the same discourse: in some situations, one source domain can map onto more than one target domain, while in others several source domains can map onto only one target domain. I propose that speech acts sometimes change from one (sub)type to another as the speaker-hearer interaction develops, remodeling the initial configuration of the matrix domain.

In der Forschung der letzten Jahre ist das Interesse an den rhetorischen Figuren Metapher und Metonymie neu erwacht, und es ist versucht worden, diese Figuren bzw. die ihnen zugrundeliegenden Assoziationstypen Similarität und Kontiguität als weitreichendes Prinzip sprachlicher Organisation zu begreifen. Hieran anknüpfend zeigt der Autor, daß der Mechanismus der Metonymie (z.B. lire Proust 'ein Buch von Proust lesen') sich für eine Vielzahl satzsemantischer Erscheinungen des Französischen als relevantes und erklärungsmächtiges Prinzip erweist. In dependenzgrammatischer Perspektive wird zunächst dargelegt, wie Kontiguitätsphänomene in der Valenz französischer Verben lexikalisiert sind, insbesondere wie metonymische Relationen Polysemiemuster erschließen. Sodann werden Beschränkungen für die metonymische Besetzung verbaler Leerstellen untersucht. Hier erlauben besonders die Reflexivkonstruktionen und die reflexiven Verben sowie die Pertinenzkonstruktionen einen neuartigen Zugriff, der Alternativen zu bisher nur unbefriedigenden Lösungsvorschlägen aufzeigt. Sowohl die lexikalisierten als auch die an bestimmte Leerstellen gebundenen Phänomene belegen schließlich einen Primat des direkten Objekts für metonymische Prozesse.

Metaphor and metonymy appeal to us because they evoke mental images in unique but still recognisable ways. The potential for figurative thought exists in everyone, and it pervades our everyday social interactions. In particular, advertising offers countless opportunities to explore the way in which people think creatively through metaphor and metonymy. 0This book offers the first large-scale study of a multimodal corpus of 210 advertisements. The reader is presented with a description of the corpus in terms of the distribution of conceptual operations (for the purposes of this work, metaphor and metonymy) and use of modal cues. Subsequently, the weight of mode and marketing strategy to trigger more or less amounts of conceptual complexity is analyzed. This corpus-based survey is complemented with the qualitative analysis of three novel metaphor-metonymy interactions that stem from the data and that have not yet been surveyed in multimodal use. The results show that metaphtonymy (a metaphor-metonymy compound) is the most frequet conceptual operation in the corpus; that there is a significant effect of the use of modes in the activation of different amounts of conceptual complexity; and that the type of advertised product and the marketing strategy has no significant effect on the number and complexity of conceptual mappings in the advertisement.

Metaphor from the Ground Up introduces Conceptual Filtering Theory, a theory of mental processing that describes figurative language communication in terms of conceptual domain projection and contextual disambiguation. In an attempt to match theoretical observations from cognitive semantics and pragmatics with related knowledge about mental processes from cognitive neuroscience, CFT first examines the distributed nature of conceptualization and then uses this background information to explain metonymic "binding" and metaphoric "mapping." Once the perceptual origins of metonymy and metaphor have been demonstrated, CFT offers a detailed account of how salient aspects of conceptualization differentially combine to achieve predictable inferencing results in linguistic communication. In addition, CFT characterizes the role of contextual effects in pruning salient inferencing options and demonstrates how situational frames can be manipulated to guide semantic outcomes. The book as a whole will assert that figurative language processing cannot be characterized in terms of a generically constituted base system that receives inputs and spits out predictable results according to logical probability in a situational vacuum. Rather, it is a dynamic, context-sensitive process that continually reweights the underlying system so as to rapidly select situation-relevant lines of inferencing from among a variety of salient inferencing options.
