Blurb:

Metonymy can be found on the level of morphemes as well. This chapter shows that metonymy, in derivation motivates the extension of derivational patterns both in the roots and in the affixes. Moreover, it shows how general metonymic principles motivate the formation of first names, surnames and troponyms.
