the
occurrence of similar elements in similar
position. Similarity can be phonetic,
morphological or structural. It brings unity to

see
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
(W. Shakespeare)

6.

Semantic field identifies lexical elements in text segments and
the whole work that provide its thematic and compositional
cohesion.
Ex.: Joe kept saying he did not want a fortieth birthday party. He
said he did not like parties—a palpable untruth—and particularly
and especially a large party in honor of his reaching forty...
At first there were going to be forty guests but the invitation list
grew larger and the party plans more elaborate, until Arthur
said that with so many people they ought to hire an orchestra,
and with an orchestra there would be dancing, and with dancing
there ought to be a good-size orchestra. The original small
dinner became a dinner dance at the Lantenengo Country Club.
Invitations were sent to more than three hundred persons... (Ten
North Frederick by O'Hara)

7.

Defeated
expectancy supposes an
appearance of an unpredictable element in

Ex.: Miss Fairfax, ever since I met you I have
admired you more than any girl... I have
met... since I met you. («The Importance of
Being Earnest» by O.Wilde)

8.

Accumulation of stylistic devices promoting the
same idea, emotion or motive.
Ex.: The door opened and from the cushions
within emerged a tall young man in a clinging
dove-gray coat. After him, like the first breath
of spring in 'he Champs-Elysee came Mrs. BesteChetwynde—two lizard-skin feet, silk legs,
chinchilla body, a tight little black hat, pinned
with platinum and diamonds, and the high
invariable voice that may be heard in any Ritz
Hotel from New York to Budapest. («Decline and
Fall» by E. Waugh)

9.

Attracting
attention to a particular feature
of a text.
Ex.:
Tired with all these for restful death I cry,
As to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimmed in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And gilded honour shamefully misplaced,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted…
(W. Shakespeare)
