On Conceptual Metonymy Represented Across Two Languages
View through CrossRef
Metonymy in cognitive linguistic studies is conceptual. But it is frequently represented by means of language. The previous studies focus on the metonymy of one single language and its target domain is not expressed. Based on the mechanism of conceptual metonymy, this paper studies some translations and argues that translating is the process of making metonymy, so metonymy can be cross-linguistical represented. That is, the source domain and target domain can belong to the target language and source language respectively. Cross-linguistically represented metonymy belongs to conceptual metonymy.
