Entertainment / Literature / Transfer Of Meaning: A change in meaning--often poetic in origin--in which a word's referent alters by a figure of speech such as a synecdoche, a metaphor, or a metonym. For instance, consider the phrase, 'all hands on deck.' Here, the normal referent for 'hands' would be a body part located on the end of the human arm. However, by synecdoche, the referent for 'hands' becomes 'sailors' more generally.
