Metonymy 

&

Synecdoche

By : Rita m.s

 Metonymy

is => often confused with another figure of speech called synecdoche. They resemble 

each other but are not the same . Synecdoche revers to  a thing by the name of one of

one of its parts . 

for example, Calling a car " a wheel " is a synecdoche.

A part of a car i.e."a wheel" stands for the whole car.In a metonymy, on the other hand,

wirds we use to describe another thing is closely linked to that particular thing, but is 

not a part of it.

for example, " crown" which means power or authority is a metonymy.

Metonymy is different from a metaphor.

A methapor draws resemblance between two different things as in " you are sunlight 

and I moon " - dun and moon from miss saigon.

Examples of Metonymy in Everyday  life 

* England decides to keep check on imigration. ( England refers to the goverment. )

Metonymy example from literature 

* " friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears."

Mark Anthony uses " ears" to say that he wants the people present there to listen to

him attentivelly . It is metonymy because the word "ears" replaces the concept of att

ention.

Function of metonymy

Generally , metonymy is used in developking literary simbolism i.e. it gives more pro

found meanings to otherwise common ideas and objects.By using metonymy, texts

exhibit deeper or hidden meanings snd thus drawing readers attention.

In addition, the use of metonymy help achieve conciseness.

Colocation (Disambiguation)

colocation is a sequence of words or terms that cooccur more often than

 would be expected by chance. In phraseology, collocation is a sub-type of

phraseme.

An example  of a phraseologycal collocation, as pripounded by michael 

holliday, is the expression strong tea.

While the same meaning ciuld be comvyed by the roughly equivalent

*Powerful tea, this expression is considered in correct by english speakers.

Conversely, the responding expressions for computer, powerful computers 

is preferred over *strong computers. Phraseplogical collocation shouls not

be confused with idioms, where meaning is derived, whereas collocations 

are mostly compositional.

There are about six main types of collocations : adjective + noun, noun + 

noun (such as collectives noun ), verb + noun , adverb + adjective, verbs+

 prepositional phrase ( phrasal verbs), and verb + adverb.

Collocation extraction is a taskvthat exyracts collocatoons automatically

from a corpus , using computational linguistics.
