Слайд 2CLIMAX(gradation)
a semantically complicated parallel construction, in which each next word

combination (clause, sentence) is logically more important or emotionally stronger and more explicit

Слайд 3emotive climax
a two-step climax, in which the second part repeats

the first one and is further strengthened by an intensifier
is based on the relative emotional tension produced by words with emotive meaning

Слайд 4He was so helpless, so very helpless. (W.Deeping)
e.g. She felt better,

immensely better. (W.Deeping)
e.g. I have been so unhappy here, so very very unhappy. (Dickens)

Examples:


Слайд 5logical climax
a three-step climax, in which intensification of logical importance,

of emotion or quantity (size, dimensions) is gradually rising step by step
e.g. Better to borrow, better to beg, better to die! (Dickens)
e.g. For that one instant there was no one else in the room, in the house, in the world, besides themselves. (M.Wilson)

Слайд 6quantitative climax
an evident increase in the volume of the corresponding

concepts
e.g. They looked at hundreds of houses; they climbed thousands of stairs; they inspected innumerable kitchens. (S.Maugham)
e.g. Little by little, bit by bit, and day by day, and year by year the baron got the worst of some disputed question. (Dickens)

Слайд 7anticlimax
a climax suddenly interrupted by an unexpected turn of the thought

which defeats expectations of the reader and ends in complete semantic reversal of the emphasised idea
Eg.Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious. (Wilde)
. He was uncon’solable - for an afternoon

Слайд 8simile/ˈsɪmɪli/
an imaginative comparison of two unlike objects belonging to two

different classes on the grounds of similarity of some quality. Used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g. as brave as a lion).
two semantic poles of the simile can be connected by one of the following link words: “like”, “as”, “as though”, “as if”, “as like”, “such as”, “as ... as”, etc.

Слайд 9Examples:
e.g. She is like a rose.
e.g. He stood immovable like a

rock in a torrent. (J.Reed)
e.g. His muscles are hard as rock. (T.Capote)
e.g. Maidens, like moths, are ever caught by glare. (Byron)
But:The boy seems to be as clever as his mother. – logical comparison (the same class of objects)

Слайд 10trite simile
A simile, often repeated, becomes trite and adds to the

stock of language phraseology. Most of trite similes have the foundation mentioned and conjunctions "as", "as...as" used as connectives. Cf.: "as brisk as a bee", "as strong as a horse", "as live as a bird"
Similes in which the link is expressed by notional verbs such as "to resemble", "to seem", "to recollect", "to remember", "to look like", "to appear", etc. are called disguised, because the realization of the comparison is somewhat suspended, as the likeness between the objects seems less evident. Eg:"His strangely taut, full-width grin made his large teeth resemble a dazzling miniature piano keyboard in the green light."

Слайд 11litotes [laɪ’təʊtiz]
is a sd consisting of a peculiar use of negative

constructions: the negation plus noun or adjective serves to establish a positive feature in a person or thing. Expresses politeness or irony. Litotes intensifies the emotion intended by the writer and moderately conveys the feelings.

e.g.Her face isn't a bad one.
e.g. Soames, with his lips and his squared chin was not unlike a bull dog. (Galsworthy)
'Indeed, it is not uncommon for slaves even to fall out and quarrel among themselves about the relative goodness of their masters .

Слайд 12E[amples
She's not the friendliest person I know. (= she's an unfriendly

person)
The idea was not totally erroneous. The thought did not displease me. (I.Murdoch)
He is no coward.- Не is a brave man.
It was not unnatural if Gilbert felt a certain embarrassment. (E.Waugh)


Слайд 13antithesis /ænˈtɪθəsɪs/
a semantically complicated parallel construction, the two parts of

which are semantically opposite to each other
- is to stress the heterogenity of the described phenomenon, to show that the latter is a dialectical unity of two (or more) opposing features
- basic functions: rhythm-forming copulative; dissevering; comparative
often signalled by the introductory connective but, when so, the other structural signal, the parallel arrangement, may not be evident, it may be unnecessary;

Слайд 14Examples:
I want you to be wise in what is good, and

innocent in what is evil.
Some people have much to live on, and little to live for. (Wilde)
If we don’t know who gains by his death we do know who loses by it. (A.Christie)

Слайд 15  periphrasis /pəˈrɪfrəsɪs/circumlocution
. a) using a roundabout form of expression instead of

a simpler one
b) using a more or less complicated syntactical structure instead of a word
e.g. The lamp-lighter made his nightly failure in attempting to brighten up the street with gas. [= lit the street lamps] (Dickens)


Слайд 16figurative periphrasis
a periphrasis that is made of phrase-metonymies or phrase-metaphors
-is

to convey a purely individual perception of the described object
e.g. The hospital was crowded with the surgically interesting products of the fighting in Africa. [=wounded] (I.Shaw)


Слайд 17logical periphrasis
phrase synonymic with the words which were substituted by periphrasis

because the direct nomination of the not too elegant feature of appearance was substituted by a roundabout description

e.g. I am thinking an unmentionable thing about your mother.

Слайд 18euphemism

a word or phrase used to replace an unpleasant

word or expression by a conventionally more acceptable one e.g. to lie = to possess a vivid imagination, to tell stories;
e.g. to die = to pass away, to expire, to be no more, to depart, to join the majority
