Terrence W. Deacon on Metonymy - Dictionary of Arguments
I 306 Metonymy/Brain/Deacon: while metaphorical association requires words with common semantic characteristics, metonymy requires a shift of attention to deviating characteristics. It can therefore be assumed that metaphors are more likely to be processed in the posterior cerebral lobe (parietal lobe) and metonymias are rather processed in the frontal lobe. >Metaphors/Deacon, >Brain/Deacon, >Language, >Language/Deacon._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
