FILL IN the BLANK:
·
Antanagoge:
placing a good point or benefit next to a fault criticism, or problem in order
to reduce the impact or significance of the negative point. EXAMPLE: True, he
always forgets my birthday, but he buys me presents all year round.
·
METABASIS- consists of a brief statement of what
has been said and what will follow. It might be called a linking, running, or
transitional summary, whose function is to keep the discussion ordered and
clear in its progress. EXAMPLE: Such, then, would be my diagnosis of the
present condition of art. I must now, by special request, say what I think will
happen to art in the future. --Kenneth Clark
·
Scesis
Onomaton emphasizes an idea by expressing it in a string of generally
synonymous phrases or statements. While it should be used carefully, this
deliberate and obvious restatement can be quite effective. EXAMPLE: We
succeeded, we were victorious, we accomplished the feat!
·
Apophasis
(also called praeteritio or occupatio) asserts or emphasizes something by
pointedly seeming to pass over, ignore, or deny it. This device has both
legitimate and illegitimate uses. Legitimately, a writer uses it to call
attention to sensitive or inflammatory facts or statements while he remains
apparently detached from them. EXAMPLE: We will not bring up the matter of the
budget deficit here, or how programs like the one under consideration have
nearly pushed us into bankruptcy, because other reasons clearly enough show . .
. .
·
Catachresis
is an extravagant, implied metaphor using words in an alien or unusual way.
While difficult to invent, it can be wonderfully effective. EXAMPLE: I will
speak daggers to her. --Hamlet [In a more futuristic metaphor, we might say,
"I will laser-tongue her." Or as a more romantic student suggested,
"I will speak flowers to her."]
·
Antiphrasis:
one word irony, established by context. EXAMPLE: "Come here, Tiny," he
said to the fat man.
·
Aposiopesis:
stopping abruptly and leaving a statement unfinished. EXAMPLE: If they use that
section of the desert for bombing practice, the rock hunters will--.
·
Sententia:
quoting a maxim or wise saying to apply a general truth to the situation;
concluding or summing foregoing material by offering a single, pithy statement
of general wisdom. EXAMPLE: But, of course, to understand all is to forgive
all.
