Paronomasia
a figure of speech in which paronyms are set in opposition to produce a comic effect or suggest a figurative meaning. Paronyms are words whose similarity in sound or partial coincidence in morphemic composition may cause errors in usage or, more frequently, give rise to puns. Examples of paronomasia are the Russian muzh po drova, zhena so dvora (“when the husband leaves to get the firewood, the wife gets to leave the house”) and the French apprendre n’est pas comprendre (“studying is not the same as learning”).

No references found | Whether urged on by paronomasia or color illiteracy, much of the first half of Burt's essay means to incite, as when he counters arguments about the existence of "white male anxiety" by exclaiming, "Similarly, arguments that the black bodies of actors playing Othello are being exploited because they are commodified have no purchase" (emphases added, 166). Analyzing paronomasia in Webster's The Duchess of Malfi, Sid Ray, for example, argues that the play renders "the pregnant woman visible, intricate, redeemed and above all unfixed and heterogeneous--pregnant with possibilities" (28). Quanto a sintaxe: e uma UL conotativa e geralmente concisa; e conjugado em diferentes tempos verbais, mas sobretudo, no presente ou futuro; e impessoal, na maioria das vezes; e um enunciado completo, dispensando qualquer especificacao de sujeito ou complementos verbais; e pode combinar com diferentes recursos estilisticos (rima, aliteracao, assonancia, elipse de artigo, repeticao de palavras, hiperbole, antitese, dialogismo, paronomasia, trocadilho, etc). |
