In antithesis part, the second and the third instances actually illustrate antimetabole, not antithesis
@alexanderlyon
@alexanderlyon 23 күн бұрын
Yes, sort of. I'd say the JFK quote is a good example of antimetabole. The 3rd (e.g., "example of our power") is a good example too. I've always heard it taught that an antimetabole is a specific type of antithesis rather than a different type of literary device. I just Googled it to check my memory and it says this, "An antimetabole is a specific form of antithesis where the contrast is achieved by reversing the word order." I also just found on Google that Quintilian considered an antimetabole as a type of antithesis. So, to say these are not antithesis examples isn't quite accurate. They can be both. But I appreciate your comment and it gave me the opportunity to double-check and it's also possible it's taught differently by others.
@bachirhabalet5618
@bachirhabalet5618 21 күн бұрын
​​​@@alexanderlyon​@alexanderlyon I beg to differ, coach; the two rhetorical devices are starkly different. The only thing to bring them in harmony is "anti" and only "anti" lol Antimetabole is a mirror pattern AB-BA which is based upon structural reversion, and not upon semantic contrast ( as it is the case with antithesis). Accordingly, it is by no means, a type of antithesis. And even if we could truly see their relation as one embracing the other, it would be wiser of us to take cautious steps about what is purely antithesis/ purely antimetabole, and pinpoint the differences before the similarities. I hope my rationale is rational.

Ethos, pathos, and logos are rhetorical *_appeals_* . As mentioned in the video, rhetorical or literary *_devices_* are specific techniques used to enhance words so they are more interesting, engaging, and provide value to a message beyond the straightforward meaning of the words. The two areas we are discussing here are not typically discussed together, compared/contrasted, etc. They only thing they have in common is the word rhetoric.

Is it a mistake to understand the repetition of "I have a dream", a phrase as ANAPHORA instead of parallelism?
@alexanderlyon
@alexanderlyon 3 жыл бұрын
A mistake? No. _Mistake_ is a strong word when discussing terms and real-life examples. There's so much room for overlap and interpretation. I can see how it might be fun to debate it but, in the end, I think it can be used as a fair example of both. I have a dream is very common example of Anaphora but its also an example of parallelism because the statements that follow each I have a dream lead-in are themselves very much crafted in parallel ways. But, the point of the video is not really about the labels themselves. I'm much more interested in speakers using these techniques to enhance our message.

So maybetake your communication skills and applied to your website my suggestion my opinion you don’t know me. It’s free. It’s worth what you paid.
