Metaphor and Metonymy.
Grigg, Russell
Pre-Text: A Journal of Rhetorical Theory, v15 n1-2 p27-45 Spr-Sum 1994
Describes in some detail the structure of metaphor and metonymy, reviewing three main structures of metaphor--supposition, extension, and apposition--and proposing a comprehensive definition of metaphor taking all three structures into account. Draws on Roman Jakobson when explaining Jacques Lacan's claim that condensation is metaphor and displacement metonymy. (TB)
