Nick Riemer has defined the concept of using categories
”Metaphor and Metonymy on Different Levels of Lexical Categorization”.
explain the relationship between the meaning
of the polysemous lexeme metaphor in 1980, and metonymy in 1999. Metaphor, 'is
a cognitive mechanism whereby one domain experience partial "mapped",
ie projected, to a different domain experience that second domain is partially
understood in terms of the first' , Metonymy, on the contrary, 'is a conceptual
projection in which one domain of experience (target) is partially understood
in terms of domain experience of the other (source) included in the same domain
common experience' (Barcelona 2000: 4; oblique original).
In the first part of this article, Nick Riemer presented
conception of "Methapor and Methonimi." Obviously that Methaphor used
as a model for other concepts that are not related to (target), 'the baby has a
cold'. And methonimi used as a model for others and there is no relationship or
similarity mapping is established between the vehicle and the target
"Having come they sat down, they danced out in the open."
Furthermore,
Nick Riemer problem of spurious sense division Analysis based on metaphor and
metonymy has become increasingly common in discussions of lexical semantics,
but it faces a challenge because of the distinction on which it depends between
‘core’ and ‘extended’ senses. There are
two cases in particular where reluctance to recognize ‘separate’ meanings might
be appropriate First, the so-called
‘actual-potential’ polysemies like ‘hit’ and ‘kill’, which are widespread and culturally
entrenched in Australian languages (O’Grady 1960; Dixon 1980: 103).
On
the second and last of this writing, Nick Riemer expanded variety of
definitions of "Metaphor and Metonymy on Different Levels of Lexical
Categorization" he discusses the meaning of difference and referent
typicality The claim of this paper is that metaphor and metonymy retain
significant explanatory usefulness in spite of the restriction of Reviews their
applicability to metalanguage glosses. discuss where the differences between
each of meaning. While his analysis largely tasty, heedless of the general
sense of Metaphor and Metonymy on Different Levels of Lexical Categorization.
Throughout the article, he never explained the meaning of the meaning of words
such as 'The woman is hitting the dog with a stick.', 'The baby has a cold'. Is
this a deliberate omission or careless oversight is not clear, but it weakens
the definition of Nick Riemer, because the meaning is not easy to understand
and does not give a preemptive response to the argument. Nevertheless, the work
of Nick Riemer still provide a clue to the meaning of the word.
