Final Vocabulary List for Quiz on December 5
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. MATCHING/FILL IN THE BLANK: • STAID- unemotional; serious • FRACTIOUS-quarrelsome; unruly • HACKNEYED- worn out through overuse; trite • TIMOROUS- timid; fearful about the future • NASCENT- coming into existence; emerging • CANDOR- sincerity; openness • SONOROUS- producing a deep or full sound • COPIOUS- large in scope or content • LAUDATORY- giving praise • SARDONIC-disdainfully or ironically humorous; harsh, bitter, or caustic • PROPITIOUS-presenting favorable circumstances; auspicious • DISPARITY-inequality in age, rank, or degree; difference
