Sažetak
The paper is devoted to the discussion of some of the main issues raised by the standard theory of metonymy in Cognitive Linguistics-which views metonymy as a mapping within one domain-and to the presentation of some new proposals. Both the discussion and the proposals are aimed at refining the theory, which the author accepts in most of its basic tenets. Particular attention is devoted to the entity vs. domain issue, to the single-domain vs. two-domain issue, and to the questions of mapping and activation, subdomain centrality, and referentiality. A number of suggestions are offered with respect to each of these issues. On the basis of these suggestions, four tightly interrelated basic kinds of conceptual metonymy are proposed: 'schematic' metonymies, 'prototypical' metonymies, 'typical' metonymies, and 'conventional' metonymies. It is argued that schematic metonymies are the most general type of conceptual metonymy and that the first three types represent three degrees of metonymicity.
