Syntactic SDs

At the last lecture, we discussed about syntactic SDs. We studied distinguish them in the sentences. They are : Inversion, Litotes, Antithesis , Climax ,Anticlimax, Break-in-the-Narrative , Question -in-the-Narrative , Asyndeton, Polysyndeton and Repetition. Inversion is a direct order of words in a sentence, it makes one of them more important. F. e: Scarcely had I arrived home when there was a knock on the door. Litotes is when two negations are joined to give a positive evaluation. F. e: It was a strange clicking noise in the distance, not unlike castanets. Antithesis is a when two points of sharp contrast set one against the other, generally in parallel construction.  F. e: You're easy on the eyes, Hard on the heart. Anticlimax is a sudden transformation from an important idea to a comparatively less significant or a trivial observation or expression.  F. e: "Not only is there no God, but try getting a plumber on weekends." Climax is sentence arrangement, in which each following word is logically more important and emotionally stronger. F. e: He is uncomplicated, upright, strict, austere and inspirational. Break-in-the-Narrative is a break of the sentence for a rhetorical effect. F .e: Arman will show you Madina 's room, if you like. And - and- you'd better look the bedroom door".   Question -in-the-Narrative is a question by one   and the same person asked and answered in the narrative. F. e: And what they played was warm, sunny, yet there was just a faint chill - a something, what was it? -  not sadness - no, a something that made you want to sing.  Asyndeton is not use conjunctions. Opposite to polysyndeton . F. e: A huge lump of glass lay balanced on the top of a cupboard; it could fall at any moment. Polysyndeton is the excessive use conjunctions. F. e: I thanked her, not knowing exactly for what, and put down the receiver, tacking the shock physically in lightheadedness and a constricted throat.  Repetition is the reoccurrence of sentence units. It used to show the state of mind of a person under the stress of strong emotion, which always manifests itself through intonation. F. e: "Don't look down," the blood whispered in his temples, don't look down for God's sake, don't look down".
