DEFINE METAPHOR AND METONYMY DEFINITION Metaphor A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly refers to one thing by mentioning another for rhetorical effect. It may clarify (or obfuscate) a situation or reveal hidden similarities between two concepts. Metaphors are often compared with other types of figurative languages, such as antithesis, hyperbole, metonymy, and simile. Metonymy Metonymy is a figure of speech in which a thing or concept is referred to by the name of another item or idea closely associated with it. In everyday speech and writing, metonymy and related figures of speech are common. Metonymy is divided into two types: metalepsis and synecdoche. Polysemy, or the ability for a word or phrase to have multiple meanings, can sometimes result from metonymic relationships. Difference Metaphor and metonymy are similar in various aspects, but the significant difference is that if a metaphor substitutes a concept with another, a metonymy selects a related term. So, if the metaphor is for substitution, metonymy is for the association. Another distinction between metaphor and metonymy is that a metaphor suppresses an idea, whereas metonymy combines them. In the psychic realm, however, both metaphor and metonymy are used to express viewpoints that are significantly different from the original meaning. TYPE OF TRANSFERENCE AND THE BASIS OF THE LOGIC IN SOME EXAMPLE A. Many hands make light work. Body parts recur in metonymy. Many hands make light work refers to people who are willing to assist rather than hands specifically. Give me a hand, hired hand, and hired gun all follow the same principle. We can count heads to count new faces, and we can call them great minds if they are brilliant thinkers. B. Two heads are better than one. Metonymy technique is a form of language that creates meaning by association. This association is seen in partwhole relationships. In the proverb Two heads are better than one, heads stands for people or peoples ideas.
