Now I want to show you the scheme about metonymy and its subtypes. This scheme was created by me. I used the definitions and examples from the manual "English stylistics" by Gafiatulina Y.O.

![Hi, my dear bloggers!](http://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/saida_if302/B619FfAMiBk8p1TD1bRfUYSHFZ0O04.png)

The examples below include both the metonymy and the possible words for which the metonymy would fill in:
- Crown - in place of a royal person

- The White House - in place of the President or others who work there

- The suits - in place of business people

- Dish - for an entire plate of food

- Cup - for a mug

- The Pentagon - to refer to the staff

- The restaurant - to refer to the staff

- Ears - for giving attention ("Lend me your ears!" from Mark Antony in Julius Caesar)

- Eyes - for sight

- The library - for the staff or the books

- Pen - for the written word

- Sword - for military might

- Silver fox - for an attractive older man

- Hand - for help

- The name of a country - used in place of the government, economy, etc.

- The name of a church - used in place of its individual members

- The name of a sports team - used in place of its individual members

While these word examples provide a good example of what a metonymy is and how it functions, sentence examples will further help to explain the use of this figure of speech.(http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples/examples-of-metonymy.html)

Good luck in using of metonymy!
