Abstract
Ideology is an important concept in Critical Metonymy Analysis. In recent years, with the establishment of critical cognitive linguistics, the critical metonymy analysis has become a beneficial complement to this research paradigm. So, there is a unique connotation in ideology under the perspective of critical metonymy analysis. Critical metonymy analysis can be regarded as a weak version of ideology, which is different from the strong version of critical discourse analysis. In this paper, the author first makes a detailed introduction on the linguistic foundation and components of critical metonymy analysis. Then the author explores to analyze the mutual effects of ideology and the components in critical metonymy analysis. Finally the author concluded that this paper has provided a certain kind of orientation on ideology which is an important concept in critical metonymy analysis.

Summary
With the development of metaphorical research, many linguists began to focus their attention on the research of metonymy in recent years. In the Chinese academics, many splendid academic papers and monographs have sprung up in recent years. The academic monograph Cognitive Metonymy written by Zhang Hui and Lu Weizhong, which was published in 2010, is regarded as the representative of the research of metonymy. As an essential part of cognitive linguistic theory, the research on metonymy aroused the attention from other research fields of linguistics, such as critical discourse analysis. The critical metonymy analysis could be regarded as a complement for this theory. Ideology is one of the essential concepts in critical discourse analysis, so when analyzing the critical metonymy, we should clarify the ideology’s theoretical connotation in the framework of critical metonymy
