Lesson 4: Synecdoche and Metonymy Metonymy and Synecdoche are figures of speech that both use a particular object or entity to signify a whole or an entirety of an idea. They are sometimes used interchangeably because synecdoche was derived from metonymy, but the former specifically represents a whole. Synecdoche use of a specific part of the body or an object to represent a whole Metonymy use of a linked term to stand in for an object or a concept Example: 1. Two heads are better than one. ( Two heads doesn t only pertain to literal heads. It means two individuals are better than just one.) Example: 1. the pen is mightier than the sword. (In this sentence, the pen symbolizes words whereas the sword symbolizes war. The sentence means that writing is stronger than using violence in forwarding an idea.) 2. I could not park my wheels in our garage. (The speaker does not just refer to the wheels but the whole thing that it represents which can be a car or any vehicle.) 2. She is the highest-paid actress in Hollywood. (Hollywood refers to the film industry.)
