      • Rule 1

      • Rule 3
      • Sub-rule 3a: Search for additional information on the relevant meronymy
      • Sub-rule 3b: Determine the meronymic structure of abstract sources and targets
      • Sub-rule 3b-1: Distinguish between frames and frame elements, especially when the same term is used to designate both
      • Sub-rule 3b-2: Observe the degree of “strength of contact” (Peirsman & Geeraerts 2006) between source and target in concrete or material domains, and the degree of “strength of conceptual connection” between source and target in abstract domains.
      • Sub-rule 3c: Identify the “reference frame / icm” or “functional domain” within which, or by reference to which, the metonymy occurs.
