L'expression de la métonymie chez Henri Lopes

Abstract

This study focuses on the expression of metonymy in Henri Lopes. The analysis of this stylistic process occupies a prominent place in the novelistic work of the Congolese writer, through the use of various metonymic expressions of places, artistic works, drinks, authors and literary works, as well as other types of metonymic expressions well listed in Lopesian literary productions. All these numerous figurative uses that are taken from our corpus place the fictional texts of Henri Lopes in the perspective of the aesthetics of literary creation. These metonymic expressions serve to embellish the referent.
