17. Synaesthesia
This si the description of a sense impression ni terms more appropriate to a different
sense, ; the mixing of sense impressions order to create a particular kind of Metaphor.
In As You Like It, Shakespeare describes 'winter' ni a song, .i e. the sense of sight through that of perception (Il, 7, 174):
blow, blow, thou winter wind".😊

Malapropism
Malapropism is a technique used to create humour through the use of nonsensical
expressions created by using an incorrect word in place of a similar-sounding word.
Act 1, Scene 3
SIR TOBY: By this hand, they are scoundrels and substractors that say so of him.
Who are they?
In this scene, Sir Toby uses the words substractors to refer to the people speaking
negatively about Sir Andrew Aguecheek; instead, he should have used the word
detractors. This creates multiple effects. The audience sees physical comedy with
the misuse of words which further emphasises Sir Toby’s drunken state. Also, this
calls into question Sir Toby’s judgement. The audience can surmise that he is a fool
and as such his judgement about who is a suitable suitor for Olivia can be called
into question.
