Russian language has a wide range of expressive means. One is synecdoche. Examples of its use are found in the Russian literature quite often.

For Example, sometimes speech is used singular instead of plural.

All died in the silence –

The Trees, the birds, the reeds,

Quiet and the owl, and the boar…

Then – the thunder hit the drum!!!

Sometimes the plural is the only indicates to us that there used trope synecdoche. Examples of such transfer values on the basis of quantitative relationships of one object or phenomenon to another also often come across in fiction or poetry.

The Young men also see themselves as hardly

Not Rasmussen. The fate of

Giving a lesson to them: at rest

Fire. One praise!

synecdoche examplesSometimes, to refer to the whole used the name of some part of it – it is also a synecdoche. Examples can be:

1. the He knew that the village Nikishino it is waiting for a roof and bread and salt.

2. In the flocks we counted a hundred and twenty-nine horned heads.

3. And he couldn't fool them, seven pairs of naive eyes, that hope listened to him.

The Use of species names instead of the generic also indicates that in this case, a synecdoche. Examples of such replacement are as follows:

1. the Oh, you uneducated peasants! The Internet by itself without a modem will not work.

2. The soul sings! Hello, friends - the pioneering of my childhood!

synecdoche isVery often used, on the contrary, the specific name instead of generic. For example:

1. the No, not going today I walk: my penny is gone, alas…

2. The waves beckon my sail forward…

Distance romance calls again!

Synecdoche is very close to metonymy. Often literary critics argue what kind of tropes to include a particular expression. This happens due to the fact that metonymy is also based on the constancy of the relationship between phenomena, however, slightly different character.

Pushkinskaya, line “All flags will come to us” on one side is seen as “all the ships in the guests will arrive”. That is, there is synecdoche-the use of the name part instead of the whole.

If we assume that the word “flags” has a meaning of the word “nation”, it is pure metonymy.

Thus, we can conclude that synecdoche – it is an expressive medium that allows the transfer of the value of quantitative trait: the only plural and Vice versa, with part of the subject on the whole. It implies the substitution of the generic characteristic of the species and, in contrast, ancestral species; the naming of a single object or phenomenon is more common or multiple, and the whole group - one representative of the set.

examples of synecdocheExamples of synecdoche are often found in ordinary, vernacular life.

“Mother, you have money now is buy me an Apple?” asked the girl at the store the parent. Eating in the speech instead of naming cash, Finance in General, species substitution – the word “coin”, the child, not even knowing it, uses a synecdoche.

And the old avid football fan sadly says: “Yes, the current fan other went… Not that early!” All the community fans in his speech called as if it was a single person.

That's so ignorant in linguistics, people easily use trails with the sonorous name "synecdoche".
