3. Hyperbole is used to evoke an emotional response, irony, humor. Hyperbole is an exaggeration not to be taken literally. Through frequent repetition hyperbole becomes trite: "scared to death", "a thousand pardons" etc. Hyperbole is often combined with metaphor. Round numerals used in hyperbole seem rather trite (e.g. "I feel a hundred years old." trite. "I feel ninety-seven years old." original hyperbole). 4. Understatement 1. it is deliberately lessening the size or significance of something 2. it is expressing an affirmation through the denial of its contrary. Understatement is an essential part of English humor (e.g. "He was just five words in his vocabulary." Affirming by denying: not bad = good.). The function of understatement apart from humor is not to sound too categorical. (8) III. Stylistic devices based on the interaction of primary and secondary meaning (Lexical Stylistic Devices) 1
kinship and solidarity. Their powerful inner strength emerged in the silent but unshakeable love 2 towards nature, their equal kinsmen and, above all, towards their own home. Among the first composers to derive inspiration from native folk sources was Juhan Aavik. His Estonian Rhapsody (1930) is an orchestral fantasy, developed from three folk tunes. There are shortcomings lessening the favourable general impression: scant contrast between themes, use of variations rather than symphonic development, rather simple harmonic devices and loose form. Nevertheless, the Rhapsody is melodious, colourful and easily acceptable to a musically undemanding audience. Aavik made use of folk tunes in all his symphonic works. He did not strive towards originality or invoking deep emotion. The composer is a born lyricist. His
Hyperbole is often combined with metaphor (e.g. "She cried in a voice that hit me between the eyebrows and went out at the back of my head." "She swallowed men whole. You could see their feet sticking out of her mouth."). Round numerals used in hyperbole seem rather trite (e.g. "I feel a hundred years old." trite. "I feel ninety-seven years old." original hyperbole). 4. Understatement 1. it is deliberately lessening the size or significance of something 2. it is expressing an affirmation through the denial of its contrary. Understatement is an essential part of English humor (e.g. "He was just five words in his vocabulary." "She has not a thought for years." Affirming by denying: "She is not particularly honest indeed." "My patience is not inexhaustible." Not bad = good.). The
Using the word “enlightenment” in a wider sense than the conventionally accepted one, we could look upon flowers as the enlightenment of plants. Any life-form in any realm – mineral, vegetable, animal, or human – can be said to undergo “enlightenment.” It is, however, an extremely rare occurrence since it is more than an evolutionary progression: It also implies a discontinuity in its development, a leap to an entirely different level of Being and, most important, a lessening of materiality. What could be heavier and more impenetrable than a rock, the densest of all forms? And yet some rocks undergo a change in their molecular structure, turn into crystals, and so become transparent to the light. Some carbons, under inconceivable heat and pressure, turn into diamonds, and some heavy minerals into other precious stones. Most crawling reptilians, the most earthbound of all creatures, have remained unchanged for millions of years

forward, reaching hopefully for the phone. "Hello?" Alice asked. "No, she's right here." She held the phone out to me. Your mother, she mouthed. "Hello?" "Bella? Bella?" It was my mother's voice, in a familiar tone I had heard a thousand times in my childhood, anytime I'd gotten too close to the edge of the sidewalk or strayed out of her sight in a crowded place. It was the sound of panic. I sighed. I'd been expecting this, though I'd tried to make my message as unalarming as possible without lessening the urgency of it. "Calm down, Mom," I said in my most soothing voice, walking slowly away from Alice. I wasn't sure if I could lie as convincingly with her eyes on me. "Everything is fine, okay? Just give me a minute and I'll explain everything, I promise." I paused, surprised that she hadn't interrupted me yet. "Mom?" "Be very careful not to say anything until I tell you to." The voice I heard now was as unfamiliar as it was unexpected
" "I do not see what right Mr. Darcy had to decide on the propriety of his friend's inclination, or why, upon his own judgement alone, he was to determine and direct in what manner his friend was to be happy. But," she continued, recollecting herself, "as we know none of the particulars, it is not fair to condemn him. It is not to be supposed that there was much affection in the case." "That is not an unnatural surmise," said Fitzwilliam, "but it is a lessening of the honour of my cousin's triumph very sadly." This was spoken jestingly; but it appeared to her so just a picture of Mr. Darcy, that she would not trust herself with an answer, and therefore, abruptly changing the conversation talked on indifferent matters until they reached the Parsonage. There, shut into her own room, as soon as their visitor left them, she could think without interruption of all that she had heard
