The volume addresses a number of closely connected methodological, descriptive, and theoretical issues in the study of metonymy, and includes a series of case studies broadening our knowledge of the functioning of metonymy. As regards the methodological and descriptive issues, the book exhibits a unique feature in metonymy literature: the discussion of the structure of a detailed, web-based metonymy database (especially its entry model), and the descriptive criteria to be applied in its completion. The theoretical discussion contributes important challenging insights on several metonymy-related topics such as contingency, source prominence, “complex target”, source-target contrast / asymmetry, conceptual integration, hierarchies, triggers, de-personalization and de-roling, and many others. The case studies deal with the role of metonymy in morphology, monoclausal if only constructions, emotional categories, and iconicity in English and other languages, including one sign language. Beside cognitive linguists, especially metonymy researchers, the book should appeal to researchers in A.I., sign language, rhetoric, lexicography, and communication.

Melvin "Wolf" Lobo is returning to his beloved bayou to face Old Ben, the ghost who hungers for his blood. Wolf fled the bayou to escape Ben, but now, having defeated one ghost aboard the nuclear submarine USS John Hancock, Wolf is confident he can do it again. What he doesn't know, but will soon find out, is that there are things more dangerous in the Louisiana swamps than a malignant spirit. "Foley's WOLF'S TALE is a classic ghost story and a rollicking adventure. New Orleans is so well drawn it leaps off the page, becoming as much a character as anyone else, living or otherwise. Terrifying and loads of fun!" - Nate Kenyon, author of BLOODSTONE, THE REACH, and DAY ONE: A NOVEL.
