Rhyme, Alliteration, Assonance, Onomatopoeia, Hyphenation Rhyme is the repetition of identical or similar terminal sound combinations or words. Rhyming words are generally placed at a regular distance from each other. In verse they are usually placed at the end of the corresponding lines. There are full-rhyme that supposes identity of the vowel sound and the following consonant sounds in a stressed syllable: might, right, needless, heedless According to the way of rhyme arranging we distinguish: 1. couplets- the last words of two successive lines are rhymed-aa 2. triple rhymes-aaa 3. cross rhymes-abab 4. framing or ring rhymes . Internal rhyme – the rhyming words are placed not at the ends but within the line: “I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers”. (Sheeley) “Once upon a midni…

I don't know, if I had found all syntactic SDs. O.Henry One dollar and eighty-seven cents (framing repetition). That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty- seven cents (framing repetition). And the next day would be Christmas. There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles (repetition) predominating. While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the…

Litotes Meiosis (Greek - "lessening") is a deliberate use of understatement, the aim of which is to lessen, weaken, reduce the real characteristics of the object so that to show its insignificance. A specific form of meiosis is called litotes. Litotes (Greek - "plainness, simplicity") is a form of understatement which uses the denied opposite of a word to weaken or soften a message. As a result, the positive feature is somehow diminished by the negation. The structural pattern can be as follows: "not" /"no"/ N. / Adi. / Adv. (the notional part should be "never"/ etc. ~ negative either in form or in meaning) Examples: - That's not bad. (instead of: That's good/great.) - Boats aren't easy to find in the dark. (instead of: Boats are hard/difficult to find in the dark.) - It was not unnatural…

Epithet Epithet (Greek – “addition”) is a stylistic device emphasizing some quality of a person, thing, idea or phenomenon. Like metaphor, metonymy and simile epithets are also based on similarity between two objects, on nearness of the qualified objects and on their comparison. Epithets should not be confused with logical attributes, the latter having no expres­sive force but indicating those qualities of the objects that may be regarded as gener­ally recognized (for instance, round table, green meadows, lofty mountains and the like). From the point of view of their compositional structure epithets may be divided into: 1) simple (adjectives, nouns, participles): e.g. He looked at them in animal panic. 2) compound: e.g. apple - faced man; 3) sentence and phrase epithets: e.g. It is his do…

I had a very big problems with browsing pictures. Only two pictures had browsed. Exuse for it, I had different examples on pictures. Irony This well-known term going back to the Greek word “eironeia” (mockery concealed) denotes a trope based on direct opposition of the meaning to the sense. Irony is a transfer, a renaming based upon the direct contrast of two notions: the notion named and the notion meant. Irony is a stylistic device also based on the simultaneous realization of two logical meanings – dictionary and contextual, but the two meanings stand in opposition to each other. Irony is generally used to convey a negative meaning. For example: You are so diminutive that you did better than giraffe. ( It means you're too tall). On the whole, irony is used with the aim of critical eval…

I want to show what I've learned about metaphor, simile, personification and metonomy. I hope you will enjoy it. METAPHOR The term "metaphor" as the etymology of the word reveals, means transference of some quality from one object to another. The idea that metaphor is based on similarity or affirnity of two corresponding objects or notions. A metaphor states that A is B Metaphors can be classified according to their degree of unexpectedness. Thus metaphors which are absolutely unexpected, i.e. are quite unpredictable, are called genuine metaphors. Those which are commonly used in speech and therefore are sometimes even fixed in dictionaries as expressive means of language are trite metaphors, or dead metaphors. Structurally can be: -Simple -Prolonged -Mixed Metaphors are used to help us u…

Hello, my name is Kaunova Marina. On the first lecture we discussed this question and I think it will be useful and interesting subject. I think this science is concerned with styles of language, stylistic devices in texts and correct using and finding of these devices in the text, and how to use different stylistic devices in the sphere of communication.
