Since the publication of Roman Jakobson's famous 1956 essay "Two Aspects of Language and Two Types of Aphasic Disturbances," we have tended to read the relationship between metaphor and metonymy in dialectical terms. This essay argues that this assumption stands in need of revision, since metonymy as a trope - and as a trope for contingency - undermines the dialectical relationship between the syntagmatic and the paradigmatic axes.
