Figurative framing, in the form of metaphorical expressions, is especially effective in carrying conceptual content on an issue and affecting public opinion. One topic that has been heavily debated in contemporary Hungarian media is migration. Framing starts with the label that journalists… read more
Benczes, Réka and Lilla Petronella Szabó 2022 Onomatopoeia and metonymyLiving Metaphors and Metonymies, Brdar, Mario and Rita Brdar-Szabó (eds.), pp. 195–209 | Article
When it comes to onomatopoeia, it is often claimed that such words are the epitome of sound symbolism, as the link between form and meaning is felt to be “natural”. Yet, this is quite far from the case: onomatopoeic words do need to conform to the phonological and morphological restrictions of a… read more

One of the peculiarities of Hungarian is that two of its “basic color terms” (BCTs), as defined by Berlin and Kay (1969), do not conform to the established criteria used to identify such lexical items. By analyzing etymological data and the lexicalization patterns of [N/Adj + color term]… read more

Benczes, Réka 2011 Putting the notion of “domain” back into metonymy: Evidence from compoundsDefining Metonymy in Cognitive Linguistics: Towards a consensus view, Benczes, Réka, Antonio Barcelona and Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez (eds.), pp. 197–216 | Article
This chapter explores the role that domains play in conceptual metonymy by examining the semantics of metonymical (and metaphorical) noun–noun compounds. It argues that the concept of “domain” is a necessary feature of any definition of metonymy (irrespective of the fact whether “domain” is… read more

However, it is unclear whether Hungarian allows shape/appearance modifiers in noun – noun compounds. Using a novel object naming task we… read more
