Figure of Speech Part - IV
=========================
💚 Metonymy
Metonymy literally means a change of name. In metonymy an object is denoted by the name of something which is generally associated with it.
🔹For example
🌸The Bench, for the judges
🌸The laurel, for success
🌸Bluejackets, for sailors
🌸Red-coats, for British sailors
🌸The Crown, for the king
🔸Since there are different kinds of association between objects, there are
several varieties of metonymy. For example, a metonymy may result from the use of the sign for the person or thing symbolized.
🌸From the cradle to the grave (= from infancy to death)
🧡 Lilotes
👉🏻 In Lilotes an affirmative is conveyed by negation of the opposite. It is the opposite of hyperbole.
🌸I am a citizen of no mean city. (= I am a citizen of a very celebrated
city.)
🌸He is no fool. (= He is very clever.)
💜 Exclamation
👉🏻 In this figure of speech, the exclamatory form is used to draw greater attention to a point.
What a piece of work is man!
🌸How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
💙 Climax
👉🏻Climax is the arrangement of a series of events or ideas in the order of increasing importance.
🌸What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties! In action, how like an angel! In apprehension, how like a God.
💛 Anticlimax
👉🏻Anticlimax is the opposite of climax. It shows a sudden descent from the
higher to the lower. The anticlimax is employed for the purpose of satire or
ridicule.
🌸Here thou great Anna! whom three realms obey,
🌸Dost sometimes counsel take – and sometimes tea.
