	The Unconscious, the Infinite, and God (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The concept of the Trinity is an example of synechdoche (one representing many), as is the sacrifice of Christ, which stands for all sacrifices before and after His crucifixion.
		Synechdoche, analogously to bi-logic, includes the dialectic of one and infinity within its embrace.
		The frequent emergence of incredulity surrounding the myth of the virgin birth reflects the existence of a conflict between different realms of discourse, the asymmetrical empirical and the more symmetrical mythical of bi-logic.

		Following are some activities to support the learning of simile, metaphor, personification, synechdoche, and metonymy, the types of figurative language readers will find in great works of literature.
		synechdoche: understanding one thing with another; the use of a part for the whole, or the whole for the part.
		Students may have to be assisted in spotting samples of metonymy and synechdoche.

	The UVic Writer's Guide: Metonymy and Synechdoche (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In metonymy, a term is substituted for another term with which it is closely associated ("crown" or "sceptre" stands duty for "monarch").
		In synechdoche, a part is used to signify the whole, as when a ship's captain calls out, "All hands on deck!" (in which "hand" signifies the whole person of each sailor--we hope).
		Metonymy is thus often seen as the controlling trope or figure for the loosely structured, open-ended works associated with post-modernism.

		Where else but to Peter Ramus (1515-1572) a scholar who not only bequeathed a four-fold division of rhetorical devices to the West but was arguably the strongest influence on John Calvin in his discussions of the Eucharist, a central doctrinal divide between the Reformers and the Catholics (as well as the Reformers among themselves).
		If we simply were to return to the original meaning of metonymy, however, we would find that it means "to call by a new name," and is most frequently used by the Fifth Century B.C. historian Herodotus.

		One day, they were walking in the woords, when Metonomy walked into a tree and exclaimed, “This cannot be here in the middle of the woords!” Synechdoche was quite alarmed by this outburst and replied, “Why, this is the woords, my friend,” at which point they began a mild argument.
		Metonymy, shocked at the scene, cried out, “This is War!” Whereupon Synechdoche (misunderstanding his friend’s motive for speaking) took up the sword and cut off Metonymy’s head.
		Synechdoche bandaged his foot, picked up his friend’s head and continued into the field, limping, but talking to his friend just as he had done before.

	Metaphor - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Since no comparison is actually made, it is not a metaphor.
		This applies to synechdoche too since synechdoche (referring to a whole by one of its parts) is simply a part of the metonomy whole.
		Allegory is an extended section of prose or verse which carries a meaning or message about something other than its literal subject.

		In this paradigm, a specific type of male body represents a universal and normative definition for the comparison and exclusion of other genders, races, and classes.
		She compares this visual method to the linguistic technique of synechdoche: "Synechdoche is what allows the disembodied, alienated, objective rationality of a certain gender, class, ethnicity, and historical epoch to be vaunted as universal, while other styles and components of ratioanlity - such as embodiment, situatedness, emotion - are ignored or dismissed as non-rational."

		By connecting Platonic signification to misogyny, therefore, Sofia is also able to claim that the visual abstraction in VR is inherently a violent and misogynistic practice.

	Wir
		Synechdoche (Greek: ‘the act of taking together’) can be viewed as a type of metonymy.
		According to Wodak, the discursive value of metonymies often lies in the way they allow agents of actions to disappear from view or to retreat into the background, often serving the purpose of justifying or relativising actions.
		Wodak identifies two main types of synechdoche, generalising and particularising:

	A Way With Words
		This is true synechdoche, in a slightly different form: "matter for what is made from it".
		One can almost find another figure, synechdoche (use of a part for the whole), in the use of "tomorrow" to stand for the whole future -- except for the plural form.
		This is a fine example of the way song lyrics, and poetry in general, often make use of rhetorical devices to heighten the effect of the language -- to pack more meat in it.

	Review Single
		Synechdoche is a type of metaphor in which a genus is used for the species, the whole for a part, the object for the material that comprises it, or vice versa.
		Metonymy is similar but is based on association or contiguity (refering to the White House instead of the president for example).
		If you are asking according to the spelling, if I remember correctly, "synechdoche" is actually spelled "synecdoche" (no h after the c), and "hyberbaton" is actually spelled "hyperbaton".

		* A rarer form of poetic word-association is synechdoche, also used by OE poets.
		Synechdoche is a figure of speech that substitutes a part for the whole concept-to-be-signified.
		(The classic example is the phrase, "All hands on deck," which calls not just hands, but whole people.) In "The Wanderer," the poet uses a synechdoche to mark the passage of time: "No man may indeed become wise before he has had his share of winters in this world’s kingdom," (69).

		I think this is why games with a strong meta-perspective are often seen as "experimental": they ask players to do something seemingly radically other than what "normal" roleplaying is, i.e.
		To my mind, interpreting this in-character emphasis as synechdoche implies that the players in question do not recognize the validity of RPG play outside their chosen approach.
		I'm sure that's sometimes the case, but often I see it as simply a very strong preference, precisely for the reason your wife mentioned.

	Chapter 4: The Emporium of Styles
		I can not stop thinking about language; largely because Raban keeps it in our face.
		If there is a grammar of the city, a an artistic practice of signification and interpretation that works on the level of the sign, synechdochally, forming our ideas about the identity of ourselves and others, then perhaps what the Invisible Man says is true.
		The role playing that Raban describes, the adopting of uniforms and identities one after the other, even over the course of the day, suggests that life occurs on the level of representation; that there is a “reality” which is never seen, kept at bay, behind the curtain on the stage.
