The use of metonymy in scientific linguistic discourse depends on the scope of
application: in the actual scientific, reference and evaluation texts, highly
specialized metonyms-terms (lexicalized, semantic metonymy) prevail, and in
popular scientific and scientific educational texts, almost all varieties of discursive
(speech, contextual) metonymy are represented, concentrated in explanatory and
illustrative material. Metonymic terms differ from other types of conceptual
polysemy: the shift of meaning is observed only between the terms of the
linguistic term system of one conceptual area. Among all the varieties of
discursive metonymy, elliptical metonymy prevails as a result of folding the syntactic construction to the level of a word or phrase, which allows the reader to
shift the focus of attention to the important side of the linguistic fact. |
