In this workshop we turn to the creative use of metonymy and challenge the idea that metonymy cannot be used for creative purposes. We analyse instances of metonymy in different forms of expression (both linguistic and visual including in text messaging) and explore the ways in which it used creatively and the reasons why people choose to use it in this way.
