They're for Dinky-Dink, of course. But it will be a week or two before he can manipulate the lantern! Wednesday the Thirteenth Dinky-Dunk has taken Mrs. Dixon home and come back with a brand-new "hand," which, of course, is prairie-land synecdoche for a new hired man. His name is Terry Dillon, and as the name might lead you to imagine, he's about as Irish as Paddy's pig.
To bring the mind more easily to the desired conception, is in many cases solely, and in all cases mainly, their object. Let us begin with the figure called Synecdoche. The advantage sometimes gained by putting a part for the whole, is due to the more convenient, or more accurate, presentation of the idea.
"Pisistratus," said my father, "you reason by synecdoche, ornamental, but illogical;" and therewith, resolved to hear no more, my father rose and retreated into his study. But his observation, now quickened, began from that day to follow my moods and humors; then he himself grew silent and thoughtful, and finally he took to long conferences with Roland.
accompanied him and sharpened my pace. Another Trope is named Synecdoche, called from this reason; that from what is properly meant, another of the like kind is understood. This Trope has also many varieties. They advanced straight to the walls the burning bulls, for he wishes to indicate by the appellation "bulls" the leather out of which shields are wont to be made. I long for such a head,
It was now generally rumored that the neighboring government was about to send us the Baron Stahl, ambassador concerning arrangements for a loan to maintain the sinking monarchy in supremacy at Paris, the usual synecdoche for France. The weather being fine, I proceeded to call on Mme. de St. Cyr.
No man uses figures of speech with more propriety because he knows that one figure is called a metonymy and another a synecdoche. A drayman in a passion calls out, "You are a pretty fellow.", without suspecting that he is uttering irony, and that irony is one of the four primary tropes.
"They are talking this nonsense to distract us, of course, but I am bound to read you what I have here, if you will graciously submit." "Submit? I wait to hear it," laughed Dicksie. "My training in prosody is the slightest, as will appear," he continued, "and synecdoche and Schenectady were always on the verge of getting mixed when I went to school.
Any one of these may be displayed with fanciful embellishments and artistic aids. Or the artist, proceeding by synecdoche, takes a part for the whole, and instead of portraying the entire animal, contents himself with one prominent feature or one aspect of it. A striking instance of this has been developed by Dr.
Besides, the custom of speech is well known that by the same word we sometimes comprehend by synecdoche the cause and effects. Thus in Luke 7, 47 Christ says: Her sins, which are many, are forgiven for she loved much. Christ, therefore, did not mean that the woman, by that work of love, had merited the remission of sins. For that is the reason He says: Thy faith hath sated thee.
