Metaphor-Metonymy Interaction in the Meanings of English Set Expressions
The article reveals the types (models) of metaphor-metonymy interaction basing on a case study of English phraseological units. The suggested four types of metaphtonymy account for both consecutive (interdependent) and parallel (independent) activation of metaphor and metonymy. The most productive metaphtonymy type is the one with the metonymy preceding (or triggering) the metaphoric shift.
