THE ROLE OF SYNECDOCHE IN ENGLISH TONGUE TWISTERS

Abstract

Abstract: This article examines the role of synecdoche in English tongue twisters, where a part of language is often used to represent the whole or vice versa, enhancing linguistic complexity and memory retention. English tongue twisters employ synecdoche to create condensed forms of expression that challenge pronunciation while capturing larger concepts in minimal words. This study analyzes common patterns in English tongue twisters, illustrating how synecdoche aids in simplifying language, creating rhythm, and facilitating language learning and cognitive development.
