Examples of metonymy rhetoric in photography

1, metonymy focuses on expressing the similarity between ontology and vehicle.

I know there is a deep barrier between us. (Modern Lu Xun's hometown)

It is a metaphor to emphasize the similarity between "the barrier between me and the leap soil" and "the thick barrier", which is "deep and thick, separating the two things and causing the boundary between them"

2. Metonymy focuses on the relationship between ontology and borrowing.

Sir, can't I give you cash, Yuan Shikai? (Modern Ye Shengtao's "Overcharging Three or Five Doors")

The focus is on the relationship between "foreign money now" and "Yuan Shikai" (Yuan Shikai is the symbol of "foreign money"), which is metonymy.

Second, the role is different.

1, metonymy is used to visualize the ontology.

2. The function of metonymy is to change the name of ontology.

Third, rhetorical devices are different.

1, metonymy is a rhetorical device, which means that you don't directly say the name of what you want to say, but call it by the name of another thing related to it.

Metonymy, as its name implies, is to borrow one thing to replace another, so most of the borrowed pronouns are nouns. When using it, we must consider the legitimacy and universality of substitution, try to simplify it as much as possible, and achieve smooth meaning. Moreover, metonymy at this time is generally similar to seeing the big from the small, seeing the big from the small, reflecting the big situation or seeing the big from the small, making the sentence more vivid and concrete.

2. Metonymy is a metaphor. Metaphor is not ontology, and neither ontology nor metaphor appears, so A (ontology) is directly called B (metaphor). Metonymy, because only the appearance of vehicle can produce more profound and implicit expression effect and make the language more concise.
