METAPHORICAL AND METONYMIC PROPERTIES OF ENGLISH -LY ADVERBS: A COGNITIVE-SEMANTIC ANALYSIS
Keywords:
cognitive semantics, metaphor, metonymy, adverbs, -ly suffix, conceptual mapping, English morphologyAbstract
Through a cognitive-semantic analysis, the article looks into the metaphorical and metonymic mechanisms affecting the English adverbs made with the -ly suffix. The research applying conceptual metaphor theory and cognitive linguistics to the English language, shows that -ly adverbs are the result of systematic mappings between abstract and concrete domains, thus reflecting the basic cognitive processes in language.
