      The co-meronymous elements that compose the driving factors are technology, the related mobility of people, goods and ideas, and a liberal trading environment. Each of these co-meronymous nominals is devoid of human agency.

      The meronymy relation can be understood as the part-of relation. For example, in Figure 1b ‘set of activities’, ‘deliverables’ and ‘milestones’ have been analysed as being part-of ‘project management’ and therefore in a co-meronymous relation to each other.

      [] the question arises whether the other form of the exclusion relationship, comeronymy, could not be found among polysemes as well. There is no mention of this possibility in the literature but, as there is no logical obstacle to comeronymous polysemes, this hypothesis could be worth exploring.
