The book elaborates one of Roman Jakobson's many brilliant ideas,
i.e. his insight that the two cognitive strategies of the
metaphoric and the metonymic are the end-points on a continuum of
conceptualization processes. This elaboration is achieved on the
background of Lakoff and Johnson's twodomain approach, i.e. the
mapping of a source onto a target domain of conceptualization.
Further approaches dwell on different stretches of this
metaphor-metonymy continuum. Still other papers probe into the
specialized conceptual division of labor associated with both modes
of thought. Two new breakthroughs in the cognitive linguistics
approach to metaphor and metonymy have recently been developed: one
is the three-domain approach, which concentrates on the new blends
that become possible after the integration or the blending of
source and target domain elements; the other is the approach in
terms of primary scenes and subscenes which often determine the way
source and target domains interact.
