Stylistics Syntax

1. Continue the classification of SD of the syntax: SD of the syntax can be divided into 3 groups:

1. SD based on the reduction of the given model; SD based on the redundancy of the given model; SD based on the violation of word-order in the sentence structure.

2. SD based on the interaction of several syntactic constructions; SD based on the transposition of the meaning of the syntactic construction; SD based on the transposition of the meaning of the ways of connection.

3. SD based on the reduction of the given model; SD based on the transposition of the meaning of the given model; SD based on the expansion of the given model;

4. SD based on the interaction of the given model; SD based on the transposition of the meaning of the given model; SD based on the violation of the word-order of the given model.

2. Decide what SD of the syntax the following example contains:

e.g. Oh, why doesn't he shut up?

1. rhetoric question;

2. chiasmus;

3. parallel construction;

4. parcellation.

3. Decide what SD of the syntax the following example contains:

e.g. The day was clear and they decided to climb the mountains.

1. rhetoric question;

2. chiasmus;

3. coordination instead of subordination;

4. parcellation.

4. Decide what SD of the syntax the following definition expounds: It is a SD consisting in unusual combination of clauses of the sentence which destroys the logic of syntactic relations.

a) parallel construction;

b) coordination instead of subordination;

c) rhetoric question;

d) chiasmus.

5. Decide what SD of the syntax the following definition expounds: It is a SD based on the use of the similar syntactic pattern in one or more sentences or syntagms.

a) parallel construction;

b) coordination instead of subordination;

c) rhetoric question;

d) chiasmus.

6. Decide what SD of the syntax the following definition expounds: It is a SD consisting in the repetition of the final element or two or several successive sentences.

7. Decide what SD of the syntax the following definition expounds: It is a SD based on the repetition of a syntactical pattern with a reverse word-order.

8. Decide what SD of the syntax the following example contains:

e.g. I told him you were sick,

I told him you were asleep.

9. Name 3 types of parallelism.

10. Fill in the table using the notions from the following list: asyndeton, anaphora, aposiopesis, ellipsis, epiphora, emphatic construction, chiasmus, coordination instead of subordination, inversion, nominative sentence, parenthetic sentence, parcellation, parallel construction, rhetoric question, repetition, reported speech.
