Drawing on the conceptual metaphor and metonymy theory outlined in works by George
Lakoff, René Dirven, Günter Radden and Zoltán Kövecses, Conversion in English: A Cognitive
Semantic Approach proposes that the process of conversion in contemporary English is
basically a semantic process underlain by a series of conceptual metonymic and metaphoric
mappings. In the book, previous interpretations treating conversion as zero-derivation
derivation by a zero affix or as syntactically motivated recategorization, or as usage-based
coinage (relisting) are questioned, for they apparently mistake the effect of conversion, the
obligatory change of word class, for its cause, the conceptual reanalysis of extralinguistic reality.
The book also demonstrates that viewing conversion as the result of conceptual mappings
makes it possible to view this process as an instantiation of intercategorial polysemy. It also
helps to settle the long-standing debate concerning the issues of directionality and productivity
of conversion,
