Figures FIGURES OF SPEECH SIMILE METAPHOR ΜΕΤΟΝΥΜΥ APOSTROPHE HYPERBOLE SYNECDOCHE Personification is a attribution of personal nature, intelligence or character to inanimate PERSONIFICATION objects or abstract notions. For example, in some phrases we use, the furious storm, the thirsty ground and the pitiless cold. TRANSFERRED EPITHETS EUPHEMISM IRONY OR SARCASM PUN EPIGRAM ANTITHESIS OXYMORON LITOTES INTERROGATION EXCLAMATION CLIMAX ANTICLIMAX OR BATHOS ALLITERATION of speech ΟΝΟΜΑΤΟΡΟΕΙΑ méthodologie commentaire DESCRIPTION In simile two unlike things are explicitly compared. For example, "She is like a fairy". A simile is introduced by words such as like, so, as etc. It is an informal or implied simile in which words like, as, so are omitted. For example, "He is like a lion (Simile) "and "He is a lion (metaphor)". In following examples, metaphors are underlined. Metonymy is meant for a change of name. It is a substitute of the thing names for the thing meant. Following examples will clarify the concept. It is a direct address to some inanimate thing or some abstract idea as if it were living person or some absent person as if it were present. Example, "Boy's mother loved him very much." Hyperbole is a statement made emphatic by over-statement. For example, "Virtues as the sands of the shore." Synecdoche is the understanding of one thing by means of another. Here, a part is used to designate the whole or the whole to designate a part. For example, "I have the Viceroy, love the man." In transferred...

epithets, the qualifying objective is transferred from a person to a thing as in phrases. For example, "sleepless night", "sunburn mirth", and "melodious plain". By using the euphemism, we speak in agreeable and favorable terms of some person, object or event which is ordinarily considered unpleasant and disagreeable. For example, He is telling us a fairy tale. (a lie) In this mode of speech, the real meanings of the words used are different from the intended meanings. For example, the child of cobbler has no shoe. This consists of a play on the various meanings of a word. Its effect is often ludicrous. For example, Is life worth living? It depends upon the liver. It is a brief pointed saying. It couples words which apparently contradict each other. The language of the epigram is remarkable for its brevity. Examples are as under: The child is a father of the man. (Wordsworth) In antithesis, a striking opposition or contrast of words is made in the same sentence in order to secure emphasis. For example, To err is human, to forgive divine. It is a figure of speech which combines two seemingly contradictory or incongruous words for sharp emphasis or effect. For example, "darkness visible" (Milton) It is the opposite of hyperbole. Here an affirmative is conveyed by negation of the opposite. For example, He is no dullard. This is a rhetorical mode of affirming or denying something more strongly than could be done in ordinary language. Examples, Who is here so base that would be a bondman? It is used for strong expression of feelings. For examples, O lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud I fall upon the thorns of life; I bleed! It is an arrangement of a series of ideas in the order of increasing importance. For example, "What a piece of work man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties! In action, how like an angel!" This is the opposite to climax and signifies a ludicrous descent from the higher to the lower. The repetition of the same letter or syllable at the beginning of two or more words is called alliteration. For example, By apt Alliteration's artful a The formation of a word whose sound is made to suggest or echo the sense as in cuckoo, bang, growl, hiss.
