Synecdoche & Metonymy Behind the Scenes: What makes Poetry Work?

Synecdoche Definition 1: Using a part of something to refer to the whole thing Examples: “All hands on deck!” “Nice wheels!” (referring to a car) My cousin has been behind bars for years.

Synecdoche Definition 2: Using a collective noun (whole) to refer to its individual parts. Examples: America won 9 gold medals in Sochi. Smyrna PD came to my house last night. ROTC has many responsibilities.

Synecdoche Definition 3: Referring to an item by what it is made of, or a component part of it. Examples: Plastic = credit card Lead = bullets Ivories = piano keys (or piano)

Metonymy Definition 1: A word is used to refer to an associated characteristic or trait, rather than simply the object itself. Examples: “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears!” Can you give me a hand with this? Calling someone Mr. Cool.

Metonymy Definition 2: Using an object associated with a person to refer to the person himself. Examples: The White House issued a statement this morning. The dinner guests were anxious as they waited for the crown to arrive.

One Catch! Sometimes the difference between Metonymy and Synecdoche is all in how you explain it!! For example – He ruled with a mighty hand. S – The hand is part of the king. M – The hand represents his power.
