<p>Bjacobs: This is Ben Jacobs work on literary terms</p> <hr /> <div>== Metonymy ==<br /> <br /> 1. A figure of speech that replaces the name of one thing with the name of something else closely associated (Baldick 154).<br /> <br /> 2. The literal term for one thing is applied to another with which it has become closely associated because of a recurrent relation in common experience (Abrams 103).<br /> <br /> 3. Metonymy comes frome the Greek word metonymia which means change name (Hawkes 4).<br /> <br /> 4. Synecdoche is an important kind of metonymy, which the name of a part is substituted for that of a whole, or vice versa (Baldick 154).<br /> <br /> === Examples ===<br /> <br /> 1. The White House can be substituted for the President (Hawkes 4).<br /> 2. The Crown for the Monarch (Hawkes 4).<br /> 3. The press for journalism (Baldick 154).<br /> <br /> == Works Cited ==<br /> <br /> Abrams, M.H., and Geoffrey Galt Harpham. ''A Glossary of Literary Terms''. Boston: Rosenburg, 2005.<br /> <br /> Baldick, Chris. ''Concise Dictionary of Literary Terms''. New York: Oxford University Press, 2001.<br /> <br /> Hawkes, Terence. ''Metaphor''.
