Radden

Panther Radden ( 1999) have had a brief discussion on the functions of metonymy, claiming that Sperber Wilson's ( 1995) principle of relevance may provide part of the answer to this issue.

曾从关联理论的角度对转喻的语用功能进行了初步探讨，但关联理论对此问题的解释似乎并不充分。

Radden holds that the classical notions of metonymy and metaphor are to be seen as prototypical categories along a metonymy-metaphor continuum with a wide range of intermediate categories such as metonymy-based metaphors in between.

Radden认为转喻与隐喻分别是连续体两端的类典型范畴，中间是以转喻为基础的隐喻的模糊地带。

Radden also puts forward four types of metonymic sources of metonymy-based metaphors, which are common experiential basis, implicature, category structure and cultural models.

Radden进一步提出了以转喻为基础的隐喻的四种转喻来源，分别是共同的经验基础，语用含义，范畴结构和会话含义。
