Metaphor and metonymy in literature.

Abstract

This article is selected examples of metonymy from metaphor and from literalness and anomaly in short English sentences. In the method, literalness is distinguished because it satisfies contextual constraints that the nonliteral others all violate. Metonymy is discriminated from metaphor and anomaly in a way that [1] supports Lakoff and Johnson's (1980) view that in metonymy one entity stands for another whereas in metaphor one entity is viewed as another.
