Inglise keele stilistika
In other
words, a device to draw attention to oneself.
e.g C.Mansfield: ,,I do not want to write: I want to live." What does she mean by that?
Nowadays, the archaic second person singular ,,thou" and its forms such as (thee, thy, thine,
thyself) may be used in poetry where they create elevated high-flow colouring.
In prose, they may may create geographical or historical background. Geographical
background: Hemingway render the speeech of a spanyard (spanish) by using thou in his
dialogue to imply his non-english nationality. Strangely, he doesn't make speaker use spanish
words, in fact.
Third person singular he/she may be used in personification (The moon smiled her faint
smile.). It, when used about people, turns them into a class of objects. The result is usually
irony, humor, contempt or negative attitude.
e.g The woman went a longer road. Then it (ought to be she) stopped and grinned.
