| Abstract | This paper describes certain metonymies that are often employed in the daily French press. In such metonymies, a human being or a set of individuals are referred to by means of the name of an institutional location (i.e., a capital city, a ministry in a western country, the name of a country). These metonymic patterns do not seem to be used by speakers other than journalists, yet seem to be understood by them. Furthermore, certain facts indicate that they tend to be transformed into lexicalized tropes in journalistic language. However, they remain in an intermediate area between active and lexicalized trope. It is suggested that it is not possible, even in context to determine exactly what is denoted by means of metonymic terms. These metonymies construct fuzzy references to a set of persons (i.e., the head of a government, its spokeman, the state). Therefore, they are very useful to journalists, because they can designate an entity very economically while remaining imprecise. (Contains 25 references.) (Author/VWL) |
