Pun and Zeugma

 

I want to write about Pun and Zeugma. It is very interesting.

Pun – the use of one word in two different applications/meanings, or the use of two different words, which are pronounced alike.

So, this stylistic device has 2 types: 1) using one polysemantic word in several meanings simultaneously in one and the same context.

For example:

2) the use or two words that together sound like another one word and both variants can be used in this context.

For example:

Zeugma – the use of one word in the same grammatical but different semantic relations: on one hand literal, and on other, transferred. Zeugma has a formula:

Where A and B do not grammatically together.

 

For example:

 

She saw a film with child and great interest.

One else example:

Zeugma is the realization of two meaning with the help of a verb. Pun is more independent. It depends on the context.
