Some reflections on metonymy and word-formation
- Linguistics, Biology

It is argued that, contra Janda (2011), very little metonymic takes place in word-formation per se, as part of grammar, and that metonymsic phenomena that can be observed in relation to word- formation phenomena are actually lexical in nature, in the fairly strict sense of the term.
