(Webster’s New World Dictionary)
Metaphor
A figure of speech in which one thing is described in terms of another. The basic figure in poetry. A comparison is usually implicit; whereas in simile it is explicit.
(Shakespeare, As you Like it ) The first clause sets up the basic comparison. The tenor and vehicle invoked by the first line are elaborated in the lines that follow. The metaphor makes possible for the literary writer to explain things vividly in great detail.
Metonymy
w Definition: one thing for another; association
w Metonymy is Greek for a change of name Function: brief, vivid, interesting
w Example: w What is learned in the cradle is carried to
Metaphor
w The boy wolfed down the food the moment he grabbed it.
w Some books are to be tasted, others swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. ( Of Studies, Bacon)
