2003 ) and by drawing diachronic trajectories in a set of MDS maps, corresponding to different metonymic targets. Visualization is done with the help of a Multidimensional Scaling solution based on the profile-based distance calculation ( Geeraerts et al. We illustrate how the method is applied to explore and visualize such diachronic changes by means of a case study on the metonymic patterns for woman in the history of Chinese. Zhang, Weiwei Geeraerts, Dirk Speelman, DirkĪbstract This paper introduces an innovative method to aid the study of conceptual onomasiological research, with a specific emphasis on diachronic variation in the metonymic patterns with which a target concept is expressed.
