| Break-in-the-Narrative (Aposiopesis).Aposiopesisis a device which dictionaries
define as “As stopping short for rhetorical effect.” This is true. But this definition is too general to disclose the stylistic functions of the device. In the spoken variety of the language a break in the narrative is usually caused by unwillingness to proceed; or by the supposition that what remains to be said can be understood by the implication embodied in what was said; or by uncertainty as to what should be said. In the following example the implication of the aposiopesis is a warning: “If you continue your intemperate way of living, in six months’ time…” “You just come home or I’ll…” the implication is a threat. Question-in-the-Narrative.Question-in-the-narrative changes the real nature a question and turns in into a stylistic device. A question in the narrative is asked and answered by one and the same person, usually the author. Rhetorical Questions.The rhetorical question is a special syntactical stylistic device the essence of which consists in reshaping the grammatical meaning of the interrogative sentence. In other words, the matical meaning of the interrogative sentence. In other words, the question is no longer a question but a statement expressed in the form of an interrogative sentence. Thus there is an interplay of two structural meanings: 1) that of the question and 2) that of the statement. Both are materialized simultaneously. For example: “Are these the remedies for a starving and desperate populace?” “Is there not blood enough upon your penal code that more must be poured forth to ascend to Heaven and testify against you?” (Byron) Litotes.Litotes is a stylistic device consisting of a peculiar use of negative constructions. The negation plus noun or adjective serve to establish a positive feature in a person or thing. This positive feature, however, is somewhat diminished in quality as compared with a synonymous expression making a straightforward assertion of the positive feature. Let us compare the following two pairs of sentences: 1. It’s not a bad thing – It’s a good thing. 2. He is no coward – He is a brave man. ‘Not bad’ is not equal to ‘good’ although the two constructions are synonymous. The same can be said about the second pair, ‘no coward’ and ‘a brave man’. In both cases the negative construction is weaker than the affirmative one. Still we connate say that the two negative construction produce a lesser effect than the corresponding affirmative ones. жүктеу/скачать 0.64 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
