What is Metonymy and Synecdoche Explained about?

Metonymy and synecdoche are figures of speech that involve replacing a word with a closely associated word. Metonymy replaces one thing with something else closely related, such as replacing "crown" with power or authority. Synecdoche refers to a thing by one of its parts, such as calling a car "a wheel". While similar, metonymy involves association while synecdoche involves parts representing wholes or vice versa. Examples of both figures of speech are provided.
