Metonymy in Czech Word Formation in Terms of Cognitive Linguistics

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Substitutional metonymy is generally considered as one of the basic conceptual processes that have the power to indirectly name the reality. The principle of the metonymy is a shift of meaning based on certain internal connections (for metonymy Kövecses and Radden 1998, Koch 1999, Peirsman and Geeraerts 2006, Langacker 2009). According to the cognitively oriented linguist Laura A. Janda, similar metonymic relationships can be identified in Czech word-formational processes (Janda 2010). The base of the study is an idea that between the vehicle and the target there is a relationship which is similar to the substitutional metonymy. The aim is to apply that perspective on the specific language material. The database of linguistic material was excerpted from two fairy-tales by Karel Čapek (Čapek 1972). The research has focused on nouns. The analyzed material consists of 193 nouns formed by suffixation, desuffixation, conversion (for conversion in Czech see Bednaříková 2009), as well as the combined processes. The crucial point are the analysis of metonymic relationships and the number of their occurrences in the database of nouns. The most often metonymic patterns for vehicle and target are also presented, as well as the most frequent suffixes. The analysis clearly indicates that there are verbs that have the strongest position in the word formation of nouns. Regarding the metonymic pattern the most frequent target within the database are the abstraction, entity and agent. In the end of the study there is a conclusion summarizing the main findings.
