    Metaphor → Metonymy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Metaphor connects domains through a transfer of perspective. Metonymy connects things related within a domain. Comparing the two reveals different mechanisms and cases that may combine them.

    Metonymy → Synecdoche

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Synecdoche uses a part–whole relation in naming. Whether it is treated as a type of metonymy depends on the rhetorical classification being used.

    Metonymy → Metaphor

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Metonymy identifies something through an associated entity. Metaphor interprets it through another domain. The comparison asks what kind of connection supports each reading.

    Metonymy → Index

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Metonymy can use real connections between entities. That makes some metonymies comparable to indexical reference, whose theoretical criteria still have to be examined.
    Evidence basis
    Importierter Querverweis über Fachgrenzen (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

    Synecdoche → Metonymy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Synecdoche uses a part–whole relation to refer to something. Depending on the rhetorical tradition, it can be treated as a kind of metonymy or as a separate figure.
    Evidence basis
