If anyone thinks they might need this: 25 Language Devices: Defined & Explained! 1. Pathetic Fallacy Is when the weather or the atmosphere describes the mood. For example, when the weather is rainy people are sad and depressed 2nd example, the dark night could symbolise something supernatural like 3AM Satan etc… 2. Personification Is when a non-human is given human qualities. For example, the tree is waving to John as drives away. 3. Simile When you are comparing two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’ For example, his facial vision looked like a falcon’s eye 4. Metaphor Is when you are comparing two things with is or are Example He is an orc 5. Extended Metaphor Pick a metaphor and explain how --- > turn in to an extended metaphor Metaphor --- > Life is a rollercoaster. Now turning into extended metaphor add explanation so, Life is a rollercoaster you don’t know when you will be at the top or at the bottom, it will all happen in an instance, at the greatest heights you will be at the greatest heights and at times it will crash, but every day is never the same, just like in a turn in a Rolle coaster is never the same. 6. Oxymoron 2 opposite words side-by-side Example, the small giant 7. Juxtaposition You explain an oxymoron. The small giant tip-toing trying to reach the top shelf, however, his small arms and puny fingers prevented him from grabbing the bar of jam. 8. Symbolism Is when objects represent a meaning. For example, moon and the star represent Islam. 2nd Example, if you get a priest you will think someone died. In Macbeth the dagger links to death. 9. Semantic field Is where words are linked to an idea. For example, PPE, 2m and Hand Sanitiser, Head of Year link to COVID. 10. Irony Is when events in the text surprises the characters. Something not expected! Mr Birling offering a 1000. Scrooge changing his nature. 11. Rhetorical Question Question does not require an answer 12. Hyperbole Is when you hype, when over-exaggerating. I am going to eat the whole restaurant. 13. Assonance Is the repetition of the vowel sound. I am too cool for school. Oooooo 14. Alliteration Words in a row begin with the same letter. 15. Sibilance Is when words in a row have the s letter or the s sound Example: the snake was slowly hissing 16. Euphemism Is when you say something in an indirect manner. He is not with us anymore. 17. Emotive Language Is when the writer makes the reader feel emotional. By making them angry. 18. Onomatopoeia Words describe the sound Boom bang skirr pop 19. Ruel of 3 / Power of 3 / Triplets Words or phrases in a row describe something (3) The table is black, hard and wide 20. Facts/ Stats Uses evidence to support their facts. 50 % of the students prefer using email rather than social media . 21. Plosive Reptation of harsh sound Words such as 'P' 'D' 'B' 22. Zoomorphism Is when you give a person animal features. Example John barked at me / John shouted at me. 23. Opinion 24. Repetition Language Device and Structure. Is when the writer uses the words repletely to create an effect. Where is being repeated and why is that important 25. Noun, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs

[@mangoesyum]

it's so rare to see a south-asian english literature teacher- you're a huge inspiration!

[@Daniel-Adanri]

WE NEED TEACHER LIKE HIM GET TO THE POINT

[@NG-hg8ub]

Better than most English teachers very clear and concise

[@travishuggins4078]

Yes fr

[@linadjoudi5837]

additional useful devices: present participle- a verb which ends in "-ing" eg. "skipping", "swimming", "falling" > this usually creates an everlasting sense, as if the verb won't stop happening past participles- a verb that ends in "-ed" eg. "cried", "laughed", "showed" > creates an opposite atmosphere to present participles, has a finality to it or perhaps resolution

[@Cariyuu]

[@moleedaboi]

Wow, I like present principle a lot. Thanks for sharing.

[@tuckering7777]

A load of these techniques like oxymoron and zoomorphism i had never learnt before and i just realised how useful they would be for A Christmas Carol and Merchant Of Venice for analysing in my mocks

[@_angeell]

what did you get on your results? :)

[@harami8259]

How’d it got

[@ithinkitsjames619]

we were always told that rule of three, alliteration, repetition, rhetorical question and simile are all structure techniques. hearing this has made me understand why my entire class are consistently getting 3s and below

[@MrEverythingEnglish]

Lol

[@ibblebobblwblackbobble8385]

same my teacher said the same

[@ryan1413]

@ithinkitsjames: Your teacher should not be qualified

[@alexandramichon2334]

Your video on how to analyse structure is the best I have found! I am an English tutor and writer and as you say structure is not often discussed in English as much as language devices and so I was really confused and was sticking to long or short paragraphs! which is just so dull and obvious. I love your explanation of shifts! who knew! thanks so much! very simple very clear explanations! Love it! thanks

[@R3ALJ190]

Thank you so much for the quick revision, this video built my confidence for my Language paper 1.

[@francisbenedictdejesus5638]

Are there any other language devices in existence? If so can you please make a video on those. Furthermore, can you please also make videos describing what clauses, sub-clauses, and more if they exist? Finally can you please make a series on skills you'll need to be in a top set in English if you were doing GCSEs. The skills you need on writing a paper. Thanks

[@LapissHamster]

Yes, pretty much all the devices u can think of are valid and can be expressed using official words. But these are common ones taught in GCSE/IGCSE English. I recommend checking out PrepScholar's (website) article on devices if you're interested in learning about more!
