The possibilities of delimiting linguistic metonymy The starting point of present paper is that the broad notion of conceptual me-tonymy runs the risk of becoming vacuous. In order to avoid this risk, I propose a narrower notion of linguistic metonymy, according to which linguistic metonymies co-active a referential complex consisting of the target and the source content, as well as the relationship between the two so that only the source content is ex-pressed linguistically in an explicit form. Furthermore, I try to show how this nar-rower notion may prove to be helpful in delimiting linguistic metonymy against related phenomena, in particular against active zone phenomena and linguistic metaphors. Keywords: metonymy, linguistic metonymy, conceptual metonymy, active zones, metaphor, implicitness, activation
