But I think it's a shame, Such a marvelous beast With a cart that's so tame. The story would really be better to hear If the driver I saw were a charioteer.

"My father brought to conversations a cavernous capacity for caring that dismayed strangers." 5. "Plop, plop, fizz, fiz…

One dollar and eighty - seven cents. 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. (inversion) 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, (anticlimax) with sniffles predominating. While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per w…

Syntactical SDs and EMs: climax, anticlimax, antithesis, attachment, asyndeton, polysyndeton, break-in-the-narrative, chiasmus, detachment, ellipsis, enumeration, litotes, parallel constructions, question-in-the-narrative, represented speech, rhetorical questions, suspense, inversion, repetition.

Periphrasis- the use of a more or less complicated syntactical structure instead of one word to convey a purely individual perception of the described object. For instance: Michael Jackson was called the King of Pop. -Logical, i.e synonymous phrases F.e. She was still fat after childbirth; the destroyer of her figure( the child) sat at the head of the table. - Figurative: in fact phrase- metonymies and phrase- metaphors F.e. The hospital was crowded with the surgically interesting products of the fighting in Africa ( extended metonymy for the wounded) Understatement- the exaggeration of smallness. The mechanism of understatement creation and functions is identical with that of hyperbole. It does not signify the actual state of affairs, but present the object through the emotionally colour…

I am sorry for being late :/ For technical reasons I couldn't create my blog but now I'm ready to share with the humorous information with you,Ladies. Pun- (also called paronomasia) is a form of word play that suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. Here is an example of pun that depend on being pronounced in a particular accent: -Caesar salad (scissor salad) in an Italian accent: Customer: "I'd like a Caesar salad". Italian waiter: Sir! Are you sure you want the Scissors salad?You'll cut your mouth!" Zeugma- is a figure of speech in which one single phrase or word different parts of a sentence. For instance: Adam likes chocolate, Kate vanilla ( it means that Kate is not vanilla,…

Hello everybody! I want to write about Metonymy which means a figure of speech in which a thing or concept is called not by its own name but rather by the name of something associated in meaning with that thing or concept. For instance, "Hollywood" is used as a metonym for the U.S. film industry because of the fame and cultural identity of Hollywood,as district of the city of Los Angeles, California, as the historical center of film studios and film stars. Romeo and Juliet,one of William Shakespeare's famous plays has a famous example of metonymy when Esculutus tells about the tragic death of Romo and Juliet as "For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo". And one more example: He is a man of the cloth (means that the cloth represents a devout man with deep relig…

A Simile is like a pair of eyeglasses: one side sees this, one side sees that, the device brings them together.- George McWhirter (an Irish author). As a proof, there are a million similes, we meet them in every day's life,some of them make you smile like a jack-o'lantern, like a chain saw,like a Czechoslavakian novel, like a man advertising toothpaste, like the warm and gentle Samian sun. Simile is a rhetorical figure expressing comparison or likeness that directly compares two objects through some connective words such as like, as, so, than. Similes can be found just above anywhere; from the printed word to oral conversation; in language, literature or music. Simile has 3 objects: the tenor, the vehicle and the link word. Simile semantically devided into: original and trite (as a metaph…

Sooo, we began to study the most interesting is Metaphor!!! Some people think of metaphors as nothing more than sweet stuff of songs and poems- Love is a jewel or a rose. But in fact we all speak,write and use metaphors every day. They can't be avoided: metaphors are built right into our language. Metaphor is a wind, because we feel it, hear it, but can't see it. What I know about Metaphors is that it compares two objects/things without using the words "like" or "as". It makes our speech original and diverse. Semantically metaphors is divided into 2 groups: original and trite; Structurally metaphor: simple, prolonged and mixed. Metaphor's subtypes are personification and metagoge. I'd like to analyse this metaphor: America is a melting pot it's like people become an American citizens, req…

Hello bloggers! I'm glad that we use this method of learning, because i like chatting and I think it's interesting and convinient. We can discuss about Stylistic not only in the class but also here! Since we are philologists, of course this study will help us in the future. We could discuss different themes, express our thoughts and talk vivid and use not banal words. Because I know that Stylisic is the linguistic study of style in language. As a discipline, it links literary criticim to linguistics. It doesn't function as an autonomous domain on it's own, but it can be applied to an understanding of literature, journalism as well as linguistic. So we could work as journalists, on television or radio in the future. In the end I wanted to say Good luck to everyone and keep in touch to deve…
