“…This section briefly reviews the three theoretical frameworks that inform the present study, namely Corpus Pattern Analysis, Frame Semantics and Conceptual Metaphor and Metonymy Theory. These approaches have been combined in establishing, describing and distinguishing lexical units (both single-word and multi-word ones) for a prelexicographic database for manner-of-motion verbs in English and Modern Greek (Dalpanagioti [2013(Dalpanagioti [ , 2018a) and in reconstructing entries for MLDs (Dalpanagioti [2018b(Dalpanagioti [ , 2019). Lexical Units (LUs), i.e.…”

This study explores the role of corpus linguistics in addressing lexicographic challenges over the past ten years. It examines 25 studies published from 2012 to 2021 that employed corpus solutions to solve lexicographic problems. Challenging tasks are either relevant to the macrostructure or the microstructure of dictionaries. In the past decade, lexicographers made extensive use of corpus tools to create dictionaries and improve existing ones. This effort included compiling general and specialized headword lists, identifying idiom variations, detecting collocational patterns, identifying and ordering words senses and differentiating polysemous words and near-synonyms. Frequency, keyword extraction, and word sketches are among the most effective aids for lexicographers. According to the investigated studies, almost all dictionaries may benefit from corpus tools at the macro and microstructure levels.

“…In cognitive linguistics, metonymy and synecdoche are often believed to instantiate the same conceptual phenomenon (Dalpanagioti, 2018;Martin & Papadelos, 2017;Mittelberg, 2018;Nguyen, 2017). Lakoff & Johnson (1980) see metonymy as a predominantly referential shift phenomenon within one cognitive domain.…”

Cross-linguistic Analysis of Metonymic Conceptualization of Personality in English and Vietnamese Idioms Containing "Head", "Face" and “Eyes”

Research on idioms from the point of view of cognitive linguistics, in particular through conceptual metaphor and conceptual metonymy in cognitive semantics, has been steadily growing. While there have been quite a few investigations into the role of conceptual metaphors in meaning formation, conceptual metonymies are still left underexplored. This article examines the role of metonymic conceptualization of personality in English and Vietnamese idioms containing "head", "face" and “eyes” from the conceptual metonymy theory of cognitive linguistics. With analyzed examples from 713 English languages and 947 Vietnamese idioms of body parts collected, the article shows that metonymic conceptualization plays an essential part in the formation of meaning. There are many similarities in the way "head", "face" and “eyes” are conceptualized for personality in both English and Vietnamese cultures. However, why Vietnamese body part idioms use a lot of symbolic pairs, English idioms do not. The study suggests more attention to conceptual metonymy in teaching idioms in order to help students infer idiomatic meanings. Rather than asking students to learn by heart the composite meaning of idioms, teachers should encourage them to guess the idiomatic meaning. Besides, conceptual metonymy should be explained to students since it helps language learners infer idiomatic meaning and retain it longer.
