Synopsis:
Textual Metonymy employs a theoretical framework combining rhetoric, figurative theory and textlinguistics. In the process, a very full historical account of treatments of metonymy from classical traditions up to the present time is given and critiqued. The author proposes a semiotic approach to the treatment of metonymy, on the basis of which a textual model of metonymy as a process of representation is developed to account for text cohesion and text coherence.
About the Author: ABDUL GABBAR AL-SHARAFI completed his PhD at the University of Durham before taking up a lectureship at the English Teaching Unit, University of Qatar.
