Category of Synecdoche in Roman Rhetoric Tradition
The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of synecdoche category and its variety in treatises "Rhetorica ad Herennium" (1BC) and "Institutio oratoria" (1 AD) by Marcus Fabius Quintilianus. Synecdoche is not a variety of metonymy in both treatises. Unlike modern linguists, the authors suppose synecdoche to be an independent trope. Roman rhetoricians had clearly differentiated and commented these species.
