Interakcija pojmovne metafore i metonimije u političkom diskursu NIN-a

Abstract

This paper presents conceptual metaphors and metaphonymy in the political discourse of weekly newspapers. The goal of this research is to show the type of interaction between metaphors and metonymies and the realization of their meaning in certain contexts. Considering that there are different metaphor and metonymy mechanism theories, as well as theories about metaphtonymy, this paper will critically examine them and take into account that the interpretation of these terms depends a lot on the context, which is shown through different examples found in the analyzed material. Other factors which influence different understandings of the above mentioned occurrences will also be presented. Research has been done on examples where both metaphor and metonymy mechanisms were found. All examples have been explained according to certain theoretical frameworks (Kövecses, Barcelona, Lakoff, Goossens etc.). Analysis has been done in the context of political discourse of the weekly newspaper NIN. Certain metaphor and metapthonymy types have been sorted according to the semantic criteria
