Abstract
In this study, I investigate what a
figurative sense is in the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB). The description of figurative senses in the dictionary is analyzed in
terms of word classes and the use of specific labels in the de
finitions, such as bildl. (figurative), is mapped out. From a cognitive semantic perspective, I investigate
what the figurative uses of the present cases consist of, in a cognitive sense. What
semantic process is at hand (metaphor, metonymy etc.)? And to what extent does a
figurative sense imply polysemy? The study is a part of a licentiate project and the aim of this article is to present some preliminary results of that project.
