metadata.value: The article deals with the phenomenon of metonymy in the headlines of the modern
  Danish press in the context of political discourse. Metonymy is an indispensable figure
  of speech of any language. The language of the press and, in particular, the headlines
  of articles are characterized by expressiveness and brevity. The characteristic features of
  metonymic transfers are figurativeness, appreciation and the ability to preserve language
  resources because the descriptive constructions can be replaced by a single word. It is
  not surprising, therefore, that metonymy is often used in the headline complex of a news
  article. The aim of our study is to consider metonymy in Danish headlines in terms of
  frequency and typology. The research material is the headlines in electronic versions of
  three Danish newspapers: Politiken, Dagbladet Information and Jyllands Posten. The time
  interval is limited by the 2015 Folketing election campaign. This choice is dictated by the
  fact that, in the case of an election campaign, we have clear dates set by the government
  and the election period is particularly interesting in terms of political discourse. As a
  result, we can say that metonymy is found in more than half of the headlines studied. In
  other words, metonymy is relatively frequently used by journalists in the headlines. The
  examples reviewed have shown that the reason for this is often to attract the attention of
  the reader and assess events or politicians. Among the types of metonymy, spatial and
  causal metonymy is the most widely used. Most often we see the metonymic transfer of
  the type “political party  politicians” or “politician  his/her activities”. Among the
  cases of attributive metonymy, we found interesting examples with political blocks, which
  are typical for the Danish political system (for example, red block and blue block), where
  the colour indicates the political views of these blocks.
