Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The past decades has witnessed a revolutionary change of metaphor and metonymy from being figures of speech toconceptual systems. Metaphor’s status as a conceptual system has been widely recognized. However, metonymy hasreceived relatively less attention than metaphor, but its status as a cognitive instrument is no less important thanmetaphor at all. Metonymy is grounded in people’s experience, shaping people’s cognition and facilitating languageexpression. This paper is an attempt to explore the properties of metonymy from the perspective of rhetoric,pragmatics and cognitive linguistics and then to discuss translations of English metonymies. Translations canmanifest metonymy’s evolution and cultural difference. The ultimate purpose is to throw light on the metonymieswhich sometimes puzzle the English language learners so as to facilitate English language learning.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
