Proceeding from the revival of linguistic interest in the
rhetorical figures metaphor and metonymy and their underlying
association types similarity and contiguity, the study demonstrates
that metonymy is a powerful explanatory principle for many semantic
phenomena in French sentence structures. First, the author shows
how metonymic relations generate patterns of polysemy and are hence
lexicalized in the valency of the respective verb. There follows a
discussion of verb-valency restraints on the use of metonymic
expressions. Here reflexive constructions etc. offer a new
approach. Both perspectives reveal the primacy of the direct object
for metonymic processes.
