Novel metonymies, wine and wineskins, old and new ones

Discussions of novel or creative metonymies do not abound in the literature, but a number of recent publications (e.g. Slabakova, Cabrelli Amaro & Kang 2013, 2014 ; Van Herwegen , Dimitrou & Rundblad 2013 ; Littlemore 2015 ; Falkum Lossius, Recasens & Clark 2017) take up this issue. The phenomenon in question, just like many other aspects of metonymy, like its definition, typology, etc. is surrounded by lots of uncertainties and mystery. In this presentation I examine various dimensions along which the novelty of metonymy may manifest itself and argue that, unlike novel or creative metaphors, novel metonymy is actually somewhat of a unicorn of cognitive linguistics. However, I show that metonymy may be involved in the creation of novel metaphors, novel hyperboles and novel word-formation constructions.
