Transference the act of name exchange, of substitution
The name of one object

is transferred onto another on the basis of:
a. their similarity (of shape, color, function, form, etc.);
b. Their closeness (of material existence, cause and effect, instrument and the result, part and whole relations, etc.).

Слайд 3

Expressive means of a language (EMs)
EMs of a language are:
a) phonetic

means, morphological forms, means of word-building;
b) lexical, phraseological and syntactical forms.
Purpose: they function in the language for emotional or logical intensification of the utterance, e.g.: He shall do it.

Слайд 4

What is a stylistic device?
A SD - is a conscious

and intentional literary use of some facts of the language (including expressive means) with the purpose of further intensification of the emotional or logical emphasis contained in the corresponding expressive means.

Слайд 5

Examples of SDs
a) Andrew’s face looked as if it were made

of a wrotten apple (simile).
b) She gave him her best go-to-hell look (phrase epithet).
c) Her family is one aunt about a thousand years old (hyperbole).
d) I looked at the gun, and the gun looked at me (chiasmus).

Convergence of EMs and SDs

… And heaved and heaved, still

unrestingly heaved the black sea, as if its vast tides were a conscience
(H.Melville. Moby Dick).

Слайд 7

Convergence of EMs and SDs in H.Melville’s phrase
1. Inversion
2. Repetition
3. Polysyndeton
4. Rhythm
5.

Neologism
6. Expressive epithet «vast»
7. An unusual comparison: tides - conscience

CONVERGENCE
Ex.: Define the EMs and SDs in this example.
Sara was a menace

and a tonic, my best enemy; Rozzie was a desease, my worst friend. (J.Gary. The Horse’s Mouth).

Слайд 9

Check yourselves
1) Parallel constructions.
2) Antithesis: enemy-friend, worst - best.
3) Antonymical metaphors:

tonic - desease.
4) Violation of usual combinability: instead of best friend we read best enemy, worst friend
Stylistic function: deep contradictory rela-tions inside a love triangle are portrayed.

Phonetic EMs
1. Onomatopoeia - murmur, hiss, bump, etc.
2. Alliteration - «And

the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain ...»
(E.Poe. The Raven).
Stylistic function: authentic live communic- ation, the informality of speech acts: lemme, mighta, coupla...

3. Graphon:
a) «Yetalians», «peerading» (parading).
b) stumbling: N-n-nice weather, isn’t

it?
c) lisping: You don’t mean to thay that thith ith your firth time…
Stylistic function: authentic live commu-nication and speech characteristization.

Слайд 12

METAPHOR
A SD based on similarity

Слайд 13

What Is a Metaphor?
A metaphor is a relation between the dictionary

and contextual logical meanings based on the affinity (similarity) of certain properties (traits) of two corresponding concepts. I.V.Arnold qualifies metaphor as concealed simile. Compare:
a) You are my angel.
b) I hear your voice - it’s like an angel’s sigh.

Слайд 14

The Structure of a Metaphor
A metaphor consists of the following parts:
1)

tenor (the thing/object or person denoted); 2) vehicle (the object with which comparison is made); 3) the ground (basis for comparison, the commonness) [I.V.Arnold]. E.g.:
He is a snake.
The doctor wrapped himself in a mist of words.
