Each issue will be illustrated by examples – my own as well as borrowed from available theoretical literature on metaphors and metonymy.
In the end of this paper I will summarize main problematic points of distinguishing metaphor and metonymy and make suggestions on future studies within the Cognitive Theory of Metaphor and Metonymy. …
