1. Alliteration: The repetition of an initial consonant sound. Example: She sells seashells by the seashore.

2. Anaphora: The repetition of the same word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or verses. Example: Unfortunately, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time on the wrong day.

3. Antithesis: The juxtaposition of contrasting ideas in balanced phrases. Example: As Abraham Lincoln said, "Folks who have no vices have very few virtues."

4. Apostrophe: Directly addressing a nonexistent person or an inanimate object as though it were a living being. Example: "Oh, you stupid car, you never work when I need you to," Bert sighed.

5. Assonance: Identity or similarity in sound between internal vowels in neighboring words. Example: How now, brown cow?

6. Chiasmus: A verbal pattern in which the second half of an expression is balanced against the first but with the parts reversed. Example: The famous chef said people should live to eat, not eat to live.

7. Euphemism: The substitution of an inoffensive term for one considered offensively explicit. Example: "We're teaching our toddler how to go potty," Bob said.

8. Hyperbole: An extravagant statement; the use of exaggerated terms for the purpose of emphasis or heightened effect. Example: I have a ton of things to do when I get home.

9. Irony: The use of words to convey the opposite of their literal meaning. Also, a statement or situation where the meaning is contradicted by the appearance or presentation of the idea. Example: "Oh, I love spending big bucks," said my dad, a notorious penny pincher.

10. Litotes: A figure of speech consisting of an understatement in which an affirmative is expressed by negating its opposite. Example: A million dollars is no small chunk of change.

Question

Write figure of speech

Answer

Figure of speech

◇A figure of speech is a deviation from the ordinary use of words in order to increase their effectiveness.

◇Basically, it is a figurative language that may consist of a single word or phrase.

◇It may be a simile, a metaphor or personification to convey the meaning other than the literal meaning.

Types of figures of Speech:

\Large\fbox\blue{Simile}

In simile two unlike things are explicitly compared. For example, “She is like a fairy”. A simile is introduced by words such as like, so, as etc.

\Large\fbox\blue{Metaphor}

It is an informal or implied simile in which words like, as, so are omitted. For example, “He is like a lion (Simile) “and “He is a lion (metaphor)”. In the following examples, metaphors are underlined.

◇She is a star of our family.

◇The childhood of the world

◇She is now in the sunset of her days.

\Large\fbox\blue{Personification}

Personification is an attribution of personal nature, intelligence or character to inanimate objects or abstract notions. For example, in some phrases we use, the furious storm, the thirsty ground, and the pitiless cold. Some other examples are:

◇Little sorrows sit and weep. (Boccaccio)

◇The dish ran away with the spoon. (Blake)

\Large\fbox\blue{Hyperbole}

Hyperbole is a statement made emphatic by overstatement. For example, “Virtues as the sands of the shore.”

\Large\fbox\blue{Synecdoche}

Synecdoche is the understanding of one thing by means of another. Here, a part is used to designate the whole or the whole to designate a part. For example, “I have the Viceroy, love the man.”, and “All hands (crew) at work.”

\Large\fbox\blue{TransferredEpithets}

In transferred epithets, the qualifying objective is transferred from a person to a thing as in phrases. For example, “sleepless night”, “sunburn mirth”, and “melodious plain”.

\Large\fbox\blue{Epigram}

It is a brief pointed saying. It couples words which apparently contradict each other. The language of the epigram is remarkable for its brevity. Examples are as under:

\Large\fbox\blue{Oxymoron}

It is a figure of speech which combines two seemingly contradictory or incongruous words for sharp emphasis or effect. For example,

◇“darkness visible” (Milton);

◇“make haste slowly” (Suetonius)

◇“loving hate” (Romeo and Juliet)
