No references found | From metaphor to metonymy to the thing itself, the poem proceeds with a growing sense of itself as a language act, an awareness never far from the surface in Stewart's poems. The basic ideas and terms used in the cognitive theory of metaphor and metonymy are briefly listed: conceptual metaphors as fundamental tools humans use to conceptualize their world picture and everyday experiences; the concepts projection and mapping; conceptual domains, (image) schemas, scripts, frames, mental spaces, etc. Firstly, may I say that although I am not an English scholar I am fully aware of metonymy. |
