peculated roman? clef of her real life experience as a put-upon assistant to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.Fielding (born 1958) is an English novelist and screenwriter, best known as the creator of the fictional character Bridget Jones, a sequence of novels and films that chronicle the life of a thirtysomething single woman in London as she tries to make sense of life and love [33] .Jones s Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason have been published in forty countries and sold over 15 million copies. The two movies of the same name have achieved worldwide success. Bridget Jones s Diary was named as one of the ten novels that best defined the 20th century, in a survey conducted by The Guardian newspaper.November 2012, Fielding announced she has begun writing the third instalment in the Bridget Jones series, which is due to be published in Autumn 2013 [34] .my opinion, one of the main stylistic features of the English women s writing is metonymy. The study of metonymy in these thee authors writing is to illustrate the feature. I also wants to raise specific interest in the impact of one conceptual mechanism, metonymy, on the realization of a stylistically marked (expressive) meaning in the context of the genre.
2.2 The role of metonymy in the women s novels at the end of XX - the beginning of the XXI century
The function of metonymy in literature is to replace a noun with a figure of speech. This means replacing a word with another one. The replacing word is usually known within the culture, but may not be immediately obvious to second language speakers. Metonymy is used in rhetoric, literature and news reporting. An example of metonymy is the use of Westminster to mean the British government.is closely related to other phenomenon. This includes polysemy, kennings and synecdoche. Polysemy occurs when a word or phrase can have more than one meaning. Synecdoche occurs when a word meaning a part of something is used to mean the whole. An example of synecdoche is the use of keel to mean a whole boat or wheels to mean car.are an old Anglo-Nordic literary device often found in old poetry. A kenning performs a similar function to the metonymy in literature. Instead of replacing word for word, the kenning replaces a noun with two words. Like metonymy, the kenning is a circumlocution, which uses words as tools. Examples of kennings include using whale road to mean sea and wave steed to mean ship [35] .to Lakoff «Metonymy is one of the basic characteristics of cognition. It is extremely common for people to take one well-understood or easy-to perceive aspect of something and use it to stand either for the thing as a whole or for some other aspects or part of it »(Lakoff 1987). This means that metonymy can be an effective cognitive tool for accessing abstract things or things that are for some reason not mentally accessible in an easy way. Due to this central role that metonymy plays in cognition, the term was redefined to better fit the cognitive view. The new cognitive definition was that «Metonymy is a cognitive process in which one conceptual entity, the vehicle, provides a mental access to another conceptual entity, the target, within the same domain» (K? Vecses 1998) [36].
Metonymy may take place not only when the name of the signified object is changed, but also when the function of the said object is changed within the syntax of a sentence. So, the inanimate nouns that occupy the position of a subject, by analogy with a nuclear sentence, must metonymically represent a semantic function of the agent of an action. In this case, when the position of the subject is utilized to fulfill a semantic function other than that of the agent of an action, we are dealing with functional metonymy [37].
Metonymy in many potential cases of personification in discourse can be illustrated by the following examples from fiction: It s just a friendly letter, asking how you are. Valentine s Day brought two happy events.can also be resolved by a metonymic interpretation, in which happy events are events that make people happy and the letter was written by a person with friendly intentions who wrote this letter to ask how she is doing.etonymy also creates the effect of oral language. The practical essence of metonymy is that part of the situation is recognized by the other part being completed and the situation in general, or on the overall situation recognizable parts of it.
