Abstract

This paper explores the syntactic variations of concord in sentences involving referential metonymy in English. Apart from the standard type in which syntactic agreement is shown between the metonymic NP and the verbs or pronouns that follow, this article also discusses and summarizes other types where there are various degrees of disagreement. Moreover, this paper formalizes the principles of Ruiz de Mendoza and Díez (2004) by introducing the metonymic function, and proposes simplification of these principles based on the notion of metonymy as a contingency. Finally, this paper discusses other possible factors – both contextual and non‐contextual – that may lead to these syntactic variations.

指代性隐喻的句法变化
本文探讨了英语中涉及指代性隐喻的句子中的句法一致变化。除了隐喻 NP 与后面的动词或代词之间表现出句法一致的标准类型外,本文还讨论并总结了存在不同程度分歧的其他类型。此外,本文通过引入隐喻功能,正式确定了 Ruiz de Mendoza 和 Díez(2004 年)的原则,并根据隐喻是一种或然现象的概念,提出了简化这些原则的建议。最后,本文讨论了可能导致这些句法变化的其他可能因素(包括语境因素和非语境因素)。
