@ARTICLE{Kiełtyka_Robert_The_2018, author={Kiełtyka, Robert}, volume={vol. 39}, journal={LINGUISTICA SILESIANA}, howpublished={online}, year={2018}, publisher={Polska Akademia Nauk • Oddział w Katowicach}, abstract={In this paper an attempt will be made to analyse a number of surnames either directly derived from animal names or variously associated with representatives of the animal world which may be said to embody and provide a variation on the general conceptual metaphor HUMAN BEING IS ANIMAL and/or the ANIMAL NAME FOR PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH THAT NAME metonymy. Animal-related surnames represent a fragment of the English lexicon where morphology and (broadly understood) semantics meet and exert mutual infl uence on each other. It seems that in animal-based nomination language users employ such morphological mechanisms as, for example, affi xation or compounding which, in turn, seem to be conceptually motivated by metaphor and metonymy.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The semantic scope of English animal-specific surnames}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/108709/PDF/Linguistica%20Silesiana%2039%208-R.Kieltyka.pdf}, doi={10.24425/linsi.2018.124574}, keywords={metaphor, metonymy, animals, surnames, motivation}, }
