  2. Chiasmus • Chiasmus (kahy-az-muhs )- rhetoric  reversal of the order of words in the second of two parallel phrases: • He came in triumph and in defeat departs; He went to the country, to the town went she.

  3. Rhetorical Q • You know this, right?

  4. Inverted word order • Syntax: switching the word order from standard order • Home went I, weary from the burdens of the day and longing for rest.

  5. Imperative • Imperative tone/sentence- commanding

  6. Alliteration • You should know this one too! • alliteration- Used for poetic effect, a repetition of the initial sounds of several words in a group. • The following line from Robert Frost's poem "Acquainted with the Night provides us with an example of alliteration,": I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet." The repetition of the s sound creates a sense of quiet, reinforcing the meaning of the line

  7. litotes • Litotes (lahy-tuh-teez)- understatement, esp. that in which an affirmative is expressed by the negative of its contrary, as in “not bad at all.

  8. anaphora • Anaphora (uh-naf-er-uh)- A rhetorical term for the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses. • Example: I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun." (Raymond Chandler, Farewell, My Lovely). "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." (Rick Blaine in Casablanca)

  9. Metonymy • Metonymy- A figure of speech in which one word or phrase is substituted for another with which it is closely associated (such as "crown" for "royalty"). • Metonymy is also the rhetorical strategy of describing something indirectly by referring to things around it, such as describing someone's clothing to characterize the individual. • Example: The White House asked the television networks for air time on Monday night; The suits on Wall Street walked off with most of our savings

  10. Synecdoche • Synecdoche- A figure of speech in which a part is used to represent the whole. • Example: All hands on deck; "The sputtering economy could make the difference if you're trying to get a deal on a new set of wheels." White-collar criminals

  11. Aphorism • Aphorism-A brief statement which expresses an observation on life, usually intended as a wise observation. Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Richard's Almanac" contains numerous examples, one of which is Drive thy business; let it not drive thee. A brief saying embodying a moral, a concise statement of a principle or precept given in pointed words. • Example:Hippocrates: Life is short, art is long, opportunity fleeting, experimenting dangerous, reasoning difficult.Emerson: Imitation is suicideFranklin: Lost Time is never Found again.

Language choice affects the audience's emotional response, and emotional appeal can effectively be used to enhance an argument. • Logos(Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. This will be the most important technique we will study, and Aristotle's favorite.

  17. Conceit • A conceit, in literature, is a fanciful or unusual image in which apparently dissimilar things are shown to have a relationship. • Example: Emily Dickinson compares a book to a frigate (ship) that can take us to fanciful lands.
