VOCABULARY TEST LIST:
FILL IN THE BLANK:
• ANTANAGOGE: placing
a good point or benefit next to a fault criticism, or problem in order to
reduce the impact or significance of the negative point. EXAMPLE: True, he
always forgets my birthday, but he buys me presents all year round.
• METABASIS- consists
of a brief statement of what has been said and what will follow. It might be
called a linking, running, or transitional summary, whose function is to keep
the discussion ordered and clear in its progress. EXAMPLE: Such, then, would be
my diagnosis of the present condition of art. I must now, by special request, say
what I think will happen to art in the future. --Kenneth Clark
• SCESIS ONOMATON
emphasizes an idea by expressing it in a string of generally synonymous phrases
or statements. While it should be used carefully, this deliberate and obvious
restatement can be quite effective. EXAMPLE: We succeeded, we were victorious,
we accomplished the feat!
• APOPHASIS (also
called praeteritio or occupatio) asserts or emphasizes something by pointedly
seeming to pass over, ignore, or deny it. This device has both legitimate and
illegitimate uses. Legitimately, a writer uses it to call attention to
sensitive or inflammatory facts or statements while he remains apparently
detached from them. EXAMPLE: We will not bring up the matter of the budget
deficit here, or how programs like the one under consideration have nearly
pushed us into bankruptcy, because other reasons clearly enough show . . . .
• CATACHRESIS is an
extravagant, implied metaphor using words in an alien or unusual way. While
difficult to invent, it can be wonderfully effective. EXAMPLE: I will speak
daggers to her. --Hamlet [In a more futuristic metaphor, we might say, "I
will laser-tongue her." Or as a more romantic student suggested, "I
will speak flowers to her."]
• ANTIPHRASIS: one
word irony, established by context. EXAMPLE: "Come here, Tiny," he
said to the fat man.
• APOSIOPESIS:
stopping abruptly and leaving a statement unfinished. EXAMPLE: If they use that
section of the desert for bombing practice, the rock hunters will--.
• SENTENTIA: quoting a
maxim or wise saying to apply a general truth to the situation; concluding or
summing foregoing material by offering a single, pithy statement of general
wisdom. EXAMPLE: But, of course, to understand all is to forgive all.
