abstract:
The chapter discusses conceptual metonymy in meaning construction and interpretation and, after subsuming illocutions under the more general notion of Construction, illustrates the Cognitive Cost-benefit Model developed by the authors, which explains the relationship between syntax and all facets on meaning construction, including traditional implicature and illocutionary meaning.
