Sažetak
In his discussion of background as one aspect of construal, Langacker (2000: 208) stresses that metaphor can be seen as one type of linguistic manifestation of background, “ [… ] where the source domain serves as a background for structuring and understanding the target domain.” It is our aim in this paper to demonstrate that conceptual metonymy (often interacting with metaphor) has a similar role in providing such alternate construals. The empirical basis of the investigation will be some English, German, Croatian, Russian and Hungarian verbal idioms and collocations (exemplified in (1-3)) that – when taken literally – focus on different phases of an event or on different subevents of a macroevent but are, due to the conceptual metonymy of the type PART-OF-A-SCENARIO-FOR-THE-WHOLE-SCENARIO (cf. Lakoff 1987, and Thornburg/Panther 1997), conventionalized ways of coding the whole event or macroevent (cf. Talmy 1991) and thus make possible different ways of construal. (1) pack one’ s bags (2) roll up one’ s sleeves (3) throw up the sponge Our study is intended to establish preferences in profiling certain phases of a complex event, i.e. which part (the initial, central or final part) of macroevents is most likely to get profiled in cross-linguistic terms.
