Abstract

This article proposes a theoretical discussion about the role played by the metonymic process in the context of human cognition in the conceptual construction of ordinary categories. The entire debate was built with the aim of ratifying the argument built by scholars at the heart of Cognitive Linguistics, namely, that metonymy, in addition to being a basic process of human categorization, is fundamental and essential in the creation of categories. Therefore, based on a bibliographic methodology, with a corpus consisting of common expressions, we reach the conclusion that the metonymic process has its value underestimated because it is confused with another important cognitive process, the metaphor.
