What's the difference between synecdoche and metonymy? I believe that many inexperienced people are at a loss about this, so this article summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

Metonymy is the name of one thing to replace the name of another thing associated with that thing. In short, it borrows A to indicate B, Synecdoche means to replace the special or the special general with the general, the part to replace the whole or the whole, or the raw material to represent something made of that material.

In English, metonymy is called metonymy (metonymy). It is by the name of one thing to replace the name of another thing associated with that thing, in short, it borrows A to represent B, but the premise is that A must have a close relationship with B and have essential similarities. For example, "The pen is mightier than the sword", the sentence uses pen to express power of literature, and sword to replace force. The main forms of metonymy in English are:

1. Replace the person or thing in the premises or container

2. Replace the work with the author

3. Replace tool users and products with tools

4. Replace people or things with the characteristics of people or things

5. Replace the function or sensation with human organs or other parts

6. Replace each other with distinct characteristics and signs

7. Replace the abstract with the concrete

2. Synecdoche refers to the substitution of the general for the special or the special for the general, the partial replacement of the whole or the whole for the general, or the use of raw materials to represent something made of that material.

The analogy is also called the method of lifting the corner, and the example refers to the meaning of "taking one from the other and moving the whole body". It tends to be replaced by something inseparable from it instead of calling someone by his first name when he mentions someone or something. For example, replace persons with hands, a wise man with Solomon, and the spring with the smiling year.
