metonymic transposition

Metonymic Transposition as a Means of Forming Semantic Neologisms in the French Language of Canada (on the Example of Nautical Terminology)

The article deals with determinologization of nautical lexis in the Canadian French. This process results in the replenishment of the active vocabulary of the lexis due to the fact that semantic neologisms appear. Their coming into existence is facilitated by intra-linguistic reasons, in particular, metonymic transposition has proved the most productive.
