Are you into polysemy?

One of my friends is into "Polysemy", and, well, I'm not sure that I can agree with such outrageous practices, but it does sound fascinating!

And it would seem that people into "polysemy" may also practice "metonymy", "antonomasia" and "synecdoche"!

do you dare read beyond the cut? )

argh, being sucked down into a maze of twisty linguistic passages, all alike!

Fascinating, though.

It was synecdoche that gave the game away. ;-)
