The Author is totally irresponsible for any damage done
to the copyright violator. It is, however, allowed to study
this work and to refer to it when used:
this is even very much enjoyed. In fact,
the purpose of this document is to explore
the poetic knowledge and to relief the lives
of living poets.
Warning! Metonymia is not undangerous. Though in itself it is perfectly safe,
erasing your metaphoric mind too
radically can be dangerous when you actually not yet know metonymic
consequences in reality. So: keep calm instead.
Be sure: it IS mighty real... and oversimple and
you don't need to be that
much of a radical and go nuts. That's all...
Furthermore: because it is simply
impossible to understand metonymia with a metaphoric view it is
and remains an uncanny though very traditional
figure of speech. When perceiving metonymia from a metaphoric perspective and
way of speaking and/or writing, it
will be like talking on the colour white from a black coloured perspective
instead of experiencing the white colour, and vice versa the opposite the same.
This is the tragedy of the method of 'modern science'
when trying to study metonymia from within the
academic method. Last but not least: metonymia is NOT a belief, like
"religions" nowadays, neither is it a method. Metonymia is indeed a perspective
that can be viewed, understood and experienced in a small or narrow view as
well as in relational grasping of what is and beyond the narrowed focus of the
consensus of reality or the famous common sense, changing from that "new"
perspective the understanding of reality. For a deep question: what is
reality? Doesn't it start with what you think it is? And doesn't it often start
with what you have been taught it is?
Soon more pages
will follow, 'illustrating' the metonymia.
