English

Lunna [17]2 years ago

Most of us were taught (if we were taught grammar at all) never to split infinitives, but writers have been splitting them anyway--even long before the creators of the Star Trek<span> series provided us with the often-quoted phrase "to boldly go where no man has gone before." Those of us who were taught that the split infinitive is anathema might well benefit from examining the origins of this rule and considering cases where we might, with good reason, be excused for ignoring it.</span>

Match the phrases with the literary techniques used.
Troyanec [42]
<span>1) Alliteration is used in "Grim and greedy, he grasped". Alliteration is a literary technique that can be determined if there is  the same letter or sound at the beginning of closely connected words. In this case you can see the repetition of the letters "g,r'' which form the repeated sound [gr].
2) Synecdoche is used in "The Wale-path". Synecdoche a part of figurative language that describes one thing which is used to refer to a related thing. The origin meaning of the phrase 'The Wale-path' is actually 'the sea'. Synecdoche usually employs the use of metonymy, just like in this case.
3) Kenning is used in "they drive their keels o'er the darkling wave". Kenning came from the Anglo-Saxon poetry. This literary device usually appears as as a two-word phrase describing objects through metaphors.This phrase is actually taken from 'Beowulf' which is an example of Anglo-Saxon poetry.
4) Epithet is used in "the ruler-of-man". Epithet usually poses as an adjective or phrase that expresses a quality of the mentioned character. This phrase contains a characteristic that belongs to a person.<span>
