simplistically, a metaphor uses something that is not closely associated as a comparison " the leaves square danced across the courtyard".
A metonymy uses a word that is closely associated with the word. Here the word "turf" is closely associated with horse racing and is used.
get stars in one's eyes - metaphor or metonymy?why?
Are stars and eyes used interchangeably?
well no..is this a metaphor then?
and keep one's eyes peeled?
