Metonymy

Definition
	Here are two senses for metonymy:
	Metonymy is, broadly defined, a trope in which one entity is used to stand for another associated entity. Metonymy is, more specifically, a replacive relationship that is the basis for a number of conventional metonymic expressions occurring in ordinary language. 3.      It is a figure of speech that replaces the name of a thing with the name of something else with which it is closely associated. We can come across examples of metonymy both from literature and in everyday life

Examples (English)
	The pen is mightier than the sword. Pen and sword represent publishing and military force, respectively. The following examples illustrate the controller-for-controlled metonymy: Nixon bombed Hanoi. Nixon stands for the armed forces that Nixon controlled. A Mercedes rear-ended me. The word me stands for the car that the speaker was driving.
