1 1. Tropes Tropes deviation from normal signification of a word for rhetorical effect, or figures of speech with an unexpected twist in the meaning of words; usually refers to word use. Anthimeria using one part of speech to act as another, such as adjective for a noun or noun for a verb, e.g. We partied last night (noun as verb), Campbell s: the soup that eats like a meal (direct object as subject). Apostrophe a person or an abstract quality is directly address, whether present or not, e.g. Freedom! Thou beguiling mistress! Catachresis a completely impossible figure of speech, e.g. Mom had a cow when she found out. Ennalage intentionally misusing grammar to characterize a speaker or to create a memorable phrase, e.g. You pays you money, and you takes your choice. Hyperbole exaggeration for effect Irony using a word or phrase to convey the opposite of their apparent meaning; Scrubbing the toilet is my favorite chore. Litotes understatement for effect, sometimes specifically used to refer to an ironically negative understatement, e.g. Einstein wasn t a bad mathematician. Metaphor implied comparison between two dissimilar things; a word or phrase is transferred from its literal meaning to stand for something else; unlike similes, rather that saying one thing is like another, a metaphor says one thing is another. Metaplasmus misspelling a word to create a rhetorical effect, such as to capture dialect, e.g. spelling dog as dawg. Metonymy a type of metaphor, substitution of an associated word for the subject, e.g. hobbits for Lord-of-the-Ring fans, or lug nut for an auto-repair hobbyist. Onomatopoeia a word whose syllables resemble the sound they signify, gong, thud, itch, crackle, burp Oxymoron contradictory terms juxtaposed, e.g. a cheerful pessimist. Periphrasis substitution of a descriptive word or phrase for a name, fickle mistress for luck, big man upstairs for God Personification endowing objects abstractions with human attributes, A lie gets halfway around the world before it gets a chance to put its pants on, Winston Churchill
2 Prosthesis adding an extra syllable to the beginning of a word, e.g. I beweep my misfortune. Pun a homophone is repeated but used in a different sense, used for several varieties of word play Rhetorical question a leading question, or a question not intended to be answered Simile overt comparison between two dissimilar things, usually employs like or as Synecdoche a part stands for the whole, e.g. skirt for a woman, stuffed shirt for a businessman Synoesthesia mixing one type of sensory input with another in an impossible way, the scent of jasmine rang through the garden, that dress is so loud I can t hear myself think. Zeugma artfully using one verb with two or more different subjects or objects, changing the verb's meaning with each, sometimes called syllepsis: "If we don t hang together, we shall hang separately" (Ben Franklin). "The queen of England sometimes takes advice in that chamber, and sometimes tea." She exhausted both her audience and her repertoire. "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject," Winston Churchill. 2. Schemes Schemes arrangement of words for rhetorical effect; usually refers to sentence structure Alliosis alternatives presented in a balanced manner, e.g. You can smoke now and die sooner or quit now and live longer. While presenting a reader with only two alternatives may result in the logical fallacy known as false dichotomy or either/or fallacy, creating a parallel sentence using two alternatives in parallel structure can be an effective device rhetorically and artistically. Alliosis is the rhetorical use of any isocolon parallel sentence that presents two choices to the reader, e.g., "You can eat well, or you can sleep well." Alliteration repetition of initial or medial consonants in associated words near one another Anadiplosis repeating the last word of a clause at the beginning of the next, e.g. Nietzsche said, Talent is adornment; an adornment is also a concealment. Anaphora repetition of a word or group of words at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, or sentences. "Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach." Aristotle Anapodoton deliberate sentence fragment. Anastrophe customary word order changed for emphasis, e.g. Ask not what your country can do
3 for you... ; The first time ever I saw your face. Antimetabole repetition in reverse order, e.g. One should eat to live, not live to eat. "Winners never quit and quitters never win." Anonymous Antithesis expression of contrasting ideas, often in parallel structure, e.g. Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. Aporia talking about not being able to talk about something, e.g. I can t tell you how excruciating it was to watch the surgeon pull the fly larva out of the little boy s eyeball. Aposiopesis breaking off as if unable to continue, e.g. Oh, dread! Oh, dread! It swallowed my [slurp! gulp!] Apposition placing one noun or noun-equivalent beside another in a sentence to add description or explanation. The noun (or equivalent) must be equal in function and bear the same relation to the rest of the sentence as the original noun, eg. Alexander, the coppersmith, did very much evil. The second stage the translation of forecast pressure distribution was most difficult. Assonance repetition of initial or medial vowel sounds in associated words near one another. Asyndeton omission of connectives between a series of clauses Climax arrangement in order of increasing importance or impact, eg. I came, I saw, I conquered. Diacope uninterrupted repetition, or repetition with only one or two words between each repeated word or phrase, e.g. The horror, the horror. Ellipsis omitting a word implied by the previous clause, e.g. Their soldiers killed six of the villagers, ours eight. Epanalepsis repeating a word from the beginning of a clause at the end of the same clause, e.g. year after year, man s inhumanity to man, dog eat dog. Epistrophe the same word repeated at the end of successive phrases, e.g. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck... Parallelism the expression of similar meanings in similar grammatical constructions. Polysyndeton deliberate use of many connectives, e.g. I want six scoops of coconut ice cream on two brownies with hot fudge and whipped cream and chopped peanuts and sliced banana and one spoon and a big glass of water. Symploce repeating words at both the beginning and the ending of a phrase, e.g. Saint Paul wrote, Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am
4 I, (2 Corinthians 11:22). 3. General Literary Terms Alliteration repetition of the initial letter or sound in two or more words. Anthropomorphism literally, the changing into a man, usually the portrayal of animal as a human, for example, showing it speak, walk upright, or share human motives. Assonance similarity or repetition of a vowel sound in two or more words. Also called partial or near rhyme ( lake and stake are rhymes, lake and fate are assonance).

Cacophony harsh, discordant, unpleasant arrangement of syllables Commentary an explanatory essay. Consonance repetition of consonant sounds within a line or verse.

Euphony smooth, pleasant arrangement of poetic sound Exigency the need, demand, or requirement intrinsic to a circumstance, the purpose for which a literary work is created in its zeitgeist; theme is usually a response to it.

5 Meter patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables. Mood the emotion the author intends to evoke in the reader, usually conveyed through diction and imagery. Personification giving human characteristics to inanimate objects, abstractions, or animals. Reductio ad absurdum Latin for "reducing to the point of absurdity." A type of logical argument where one takes a claim to a ridiculous conclusion, thereby implying the claim is ridiculous. See "farce." Rhetoric the art of persuasion.

Rhyme likeness of sound at the end of two words Position of Rhyme end or internal rhyme Masculine Rhyme one-syllable word rhymes with another: dog, log Feminine Rhyme last two syllables of two words rhyme: lawful, awful Triple Rhyme three syllables of words rhyme: victorious, glorious. Satire human or individual vices or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule ideally with the intent to bring about improvement. Simile comparison between two unrelated things indicating a likeness between them. Stanza sections of poetry unified by idea and separated from others by a space break, named according to number of lines as follows: 2=couplet, 3=tercet, 4=quatrain, 5=cinquain, 6=sestet, 7=septet, 8=octet (octave), and afterward 9-lined stanza and so on. Stream of Consciousness a narrative technique in which a character seems not only to be thinking out loud, but also to be manifesting symptoms of subconscious experience. In creating this illusion the novelist dispenses with normal sentences and punctuation and instead runs words, notions, feelings, images, and vestiges from deep within the psyche's past together in one continuous stream, a technique also called "interior monologue." Syntax the way in which linguistic elements such as words are put together to form constituents, such as phrases or clauses; harmonious arrangement of parts or elements; the part of grammar dealing with arrangement of words into phrases or clauses; (it is not sentence length).
