Abstract
Nunberg (1995) has identified two types of metonymic constructions with different linguistic properties: predicate transfer and deferred indexical reference. In this paper, we describe these types of metonymies within the context of cognitive grammar (Langacker, 1999), mental space theory (Fauconnier, 1994), and blending theory (Fauconnier & Turner, 2002). Using concepts from cognitive grammar, we show how principles of cognitive salience and mental access explain the different types of metonymic relations. We argue that different types of mental access produce different types of integration in blended spaces. 1
