EnglishThe present study starts from the hypothesis that the use of both metaphors and metonymies requires complex abilities based on different processes. So far, these processes have been explained by making reference to frameworks which are considered as mutually exclusive. On the one hand, cognitive linguistics (Lakoff & Johnson 1980), seems to support the sensori-motor bias of metaphors and metonymies. On the other, according to the Relevance Theory (Sperber & Wilson 1995), complex socio-cognitive abilities as those conceptualized by Theory of Mind are required to explain aspects of metaphor and metonymy understanding that is framed as linguistic and cultural rather than as a cognitive phenomenon. Through the analysis of Primary Sign Language developed by deaf individuals without any contacts with the Deaf Community, this research explores two hypothetical levels of analysis of metaphors and metonymy in order to see how cognitive and cultural aspects interplay in the process of semantic extension. In fact, semantic extension appears to be a productive strategy to respond to online communicative needs of human beings.

| Abstract: | The present study starts from the hypothesis that the use of both metaphors and metonymies requires complex abilities based on different processes. So far, these processes have been explained by making reference to frameworks which are considered as mutually exclusive. On the one hand, cognitive linguistics (Lakoff & Johnson 1980), seems to support the sensori-motor bias of metaphors and metonymies. On the other, according to the Relevance Theory (Sperber & Wilson 1995), complex socio-cognitive abilities as those conceptualized by Theory of Mind are required to explain aspects of metaphor and metonymy understanding that is framed as linguistic and cultural rather than as a cognitive phenomenon. Through the analysis of Primary Sign Language developed by deaf individuals without any contacts with the Deaf Community, this research explores two hypothetical levels of analysis of metaphors and metonymy in order to see how cognitive and cultural aspects interplay in the process of semantic extension. In fact, semantic extension appears to be a productive strategy to respond to online communicative needs of human beings. |
