I’m American- an English nerd with top marks and certifications, but I’m still here, for some reason. It’s comforting, I suppose? 😂😂😂 Not many people appreciate grammar and linguistics anymore. Thank you for your contributions to society. My favorite figure of speech(well, it’s a literary device? How would you categorize it?), by the way, is a zeugma. “John was on the fence...and on drugs.” 😂😂😂😂 I now look for ways to use these in all my novel writing!

Your comment made my day! "Contributions to society"...? I can only hope this channel does make a positive contribution to society and helps people get ahead through a deeper understanding of language. As for figures of speech vs. literary devices... yes, I often see these concepts being used interchangeably when I think they should probably be taught as separate things. (By the way, zeugma confuses me quite a bit... lol) Thank you so much for your support and for leaving such an inspiring comment! :D

Hi, Snap Language. Some of my top most favorite figures of speech are asyndeton & its opposite polysyndeton; aposiopesis; alliteration; epizeuxis; antanaclasis; ampliatio; allegory; & one that Samuel Coleridge disparagingly & ignorantly called "illeism" (i.e. "the referring to one's own self in third grammatical person terminology").
@snaplanguage
@snaplanguage 3 жыл бұрын
Some figures of speech and literary devices are wild. I didn't realize referring to yourself in the third person had a name. Thanks for teaching me a new word -- illeism. Marc Franco is happy about that Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I hope you're enjoying the other videos on the channel!
@fiery.mercaba
@fiery.mercaba 3 жыл бұрын
Marc Franco of @@snaplanguage (I caught your use of the rhetorical device, just so you know 😉👍🏼), first of all, my apologies for the delay. You are most welcome with regard to the information I shared about Samuel Coleridge's misnomer for the figure of speech that affords one the ability to quite strikingly make one's self a more conspicuous object to an audience's senses by third grammatical person self-reference terminology instead of by trite first grammatical person terminology. I must, however, at this juncture give a shout out to the BYU professor Gideon Burton whose very cool website Silva Rhetoricae I came across well over a decade ago made me aware of him & of his knowledge of figures of speech & thus also as a possible source of an answer for my question as to what this peculiar way of expression is actually called. As the Lord Jesus began to show me in about 2004 how that, in plain sight, & yet overlooked by the majority, He was referring to Himself in third grammatical person terminology throughout the Holy Bible, both in the OT (i.e. in pre-Incarnation contexts -- rf. Job 38:7; Isaiah 60:9; Malachi 3:1-3; etc) & in the NT (ie. in Incarnation contexts -- rf. John 3:16, with regard to His Deity, "God," & with regard to His Humanity, "Son"), my appetite to study out more about this figure of speech became quite whetted, & so, in the process of researching, I emailed Mr. Burton & he so graciously replied & put me onto the word "illeism." Yes, if I recall correctly, it was he who, after saying he had not come across anything amongst the classifications of the ancient Greek & Roman rhetoric scholars, noted the term "illeism" to me. I was already greatly interested in figures of speech, but this one was undoubtedly "a road less traveled," if you will, so I set out through the forest, as Mr. Burton calls it by metaphor (rf. "silva") with what evidences I already had of its existence, what leaves I already clutched in my hand, if you will. And, being a father, I had also been made quickly aware in this context of the existence of this rhetorical device that the Lord helped me to come up with two names for apart from & to replace Coleridge's intended to be derogatory label (I will get back to this thing of Coleridge soon & his cloudy thinking towards this expression device), for I realized I was indeed using it myself & quite frequently just like many other parents do without even realizing it; moreover, just like many kids do, my first child & then my subsequent children used it, too -- though it really stood out with my firstborn, for my awareness was already heightened by the time she used what I have come to identify as the nomenclature form (to be contrasted with the pronominal iterations, the nomen iterations employing either the actual name of the speaker or a noun that is descriptive of the speaker of the self-referencing device, e.g. "This politician standing before you here today will never ever lie to you"), my then toddler daughter having said one day, "[She used her own name] would like some ice cream." So, yeah, everytime I said to my own children, particularly when they were younger, "Daddy thus & thus," I was using this rhetorical device. Indeed, everytime a father in speaking to his own children references himself by terms of his fatherhood to them, he is using this rhetorical device. The same is true of women who are mothers, them referencing themselves by terms of their motherhood quite often when in conversations with their young children. "Mommy says don't yank on the cat's tail!" "Mom says drink up the rest of your mill in your babba [i.e. baby talk for 'bottle,' of course]." My studies of this topic also led me into finding out about the Ghanaian thinker Samuel Gayasi Obeng & his works on the Ghana language & this striking self-referencing device being featured in it. I cannot now recall any of the several titles of his I found out about & actually was able to find through libraries & thereby check out & read, but they were several & many offered me insights & confirmations on the topic. Additionally, & most significantly for my particular niche, I've gone through much of the Bible & have identified a variety of passages wherein this device occurs, & most definitely not all the instances are of the Almighty Himself using it, e.g. Genesis 2:23; 4:23-24; Exodus 3:1; Ruth 2:13; 2 Samuel 7:19-21, et al; Ecclesiastes 1:1-2; etc. Now, above I mentioned I would get back around to Samuel Coleridge & his notions about this enigmatic self-referencing practice, as well as I mentioned "politician." I don't know if it was that Coleridge from in his day had & heard politicians who favored this rhetorical device that can be very self-focusing & therefore had the view of the device as being nothing more than a linguistic tool of narcissists, but, as was his narrow view of the nature & uses of the device, so was his name for it, namely "illeism." From what I recall, the prefix of the label Coleridge gave it is from Latin & basically is the equivalent of the English pronoun "he." So, essentially, Coleridge named the practice "heism," as for one that is so obsessed with himself or herself that he or she finds ways of always talking about self. I will forgo getting into here how Coleridge's discolored view in this matter ended up negatively affecting his Biblically hermeneutics, but will just say that I immediately knew his thinking on this was wrong when I, by the Good Lord's help, came to the realization the Good Lord Himself used this same rhetorical device & repeatedly throughout the Scriptures, as I already noted above. So I saw Coleridge's label as a misnomer from early for that reason & for all the reasons already mentioned & for an unmentioned, at least not specifically, but, yeah, the label's attribution of the device to only the masculine gender. Well, sir, I hope this other information I'm sharing with you will be once again a delight & as much a delight as it was for me to share them with you. Speaking of delight, I think your unique emojis are cool. 👍🏼 Well, by for now, Marc Franco. I trust by the mercies of the Almighty I shall be able to pop by again in the near future. Be blessed. 🙏🏼

Favorite figures of speech: Metaphors and similes as used by PG Wodehouse: "to put on the nosebag with" = "to have dinner with"; "to feed out of the same dinner pail for life" = "to marry"; "his manner was like that of a wolf on the steppes of Russia, who, expecting a peasant, is fobbed off with a wafer biscuit"; "Mike nodded.

Foreing beginners students should make difference between FIGURES OF SPEECH & PARTS OF SPEECH ! PARTS OF SPEECH are traditional term to describe the different types of word wich are used to form sentences , such as noun , pronoun , verb , adjective , adverb , preposition , conjunction and interjunction .
