Using a metonymy serves a double purpose - it breaks up any awkwardness of repeating the same phrase over and over and it changes the wording to make the sentence more interesting. Thus, metonymy is the basis of the secondary nomination. If metonymic transfer is made within the formative type, then it may be due to polysemy suffix (for example, the suffix-ming, - enie). Association of objects by their adjacency and concepts to their logical proximity becomes thereby coupling value category.

For example: 's just a pretty face .are an awful lot of faces out there in the audience.need some new faces around here [16].
