The aim of this paper is to study the metonymic motivation of the conduit metaphor. Following the radical hypothesis presented by Barcelona (2003) – that every metaphor is motivated by conceptual metonymy −, the metonymic structure of the target domain communication is analyzed.

The paper presents a new model based on the basic Maximum Capture model, MAXCAP. The New Chance – Constrained Maximum Capture model introduces a stochastic threshold constraint, which recognises the fact that a facility can be open only if a minimum level of demand is captured. A metaheuristic based on MAX – MIN ANT system and TABU search procedure is presented to solve the model. This is the f...

Using these models we study under what circumstances a system with basic income is economically feasible and supported by a majority. We conclude that there are reasonable circumstances under which a the combination of basic income an...
