Synonymous Nouns and Metonymy in English Dictionaries
-
Manda Gavrić The most common and most easily understood definition of metonymy is that of
metonymy as the use of a word or phrase, when one refers to something using the name of

Marija Šokčević U ovomu radu istražuju se tabui i stigmatizirane teme u zbirci poezije Cvjetovi zla Charlesa Baudelairea.

Interpretacijom se dolazi do zaključka da je Baudelaire...
