Question

name any two figure of speech in the line swish of the skirt

Answer 1

onemotopoeia and metaphor

Answer 2

The two figures of speech used in this line are onomatopoeia and alliteration.

Onomatopoeia

• Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech in which words are used to mimic the sounds produced.
• Here, the movement of the skirt produces a ‘swish’ sound.
• Coincidentally, ‘swish’ sounds a lot like the sound clothes make, in real life. That is the kind of sound our ears hear.
• Therefore, the word ‘swish’ resembles the sound produced by a skirt in real life.
• Thus, when the word sounds like the sound itself, onomatopoeia has been used.

Alliteration

• Alliteration is the repetition of sounds, particularly the initial sounds, of consecutive words or words that are in quick succession.
• Here, the /s/ sound is repeated in the words ‘swish’ and ‘skirt’.
• Thus, alliteration has been used here.
