Abstract
Within the field of Systemic Function-al Linguistics (sfl), metonymy has not attracted much attention in comparison to other approaches such as cognitive linguistics where it has a more impor-tant place. This paper aims to exam-ine referential metonymy from the per-spective of the sfl framework and to offer a theoretical argument for how it can be accounted for within existing sfl constructs. The main idea pursued here is that referential metonymy, as a type of indirect encoding of meaning, might be best accounted for in terms of incongruency. Bringing together per-spectives from outside sfl and draw-ing on Martin’s (1992) identificationsystem, I make the case for referential metonymy to be interpreted in terms of textual grammatical metaphor due to the atypical referential mappings and the blended semantics construed by these expressions.
