      ab: The article discusses the rhetorical function of metonyms and the significance of metonymy to rhetoric. Metonymy is described as the figure of association that plays a role in how thought and human language connect. The function of speech-effects such as the epithet as a metonymic channel that permits a poet and his or her audience to access a signification inherent in their common experiences is addressed. Ways in which performance is a rhetorical event are also discussed.
