Study Notes

Imagery

  • Imagery originated from the Old French word "imagerie," meaning "to make an image."
  • Imagery is a descriptive technique in writing that appeals to the five senses:
  • Visual: Describes what's seen. Examples include colors, shapes, sizes, and patterns.
  • Auditory: Describes what's heard. Examples include sounds of musical instruments, voices, and noises. Silence is also considered auditory imagery.
  • Olfactory: Describes what's smelled. Examples include fragrances, odors, and scents.
  • Gustatory: Describes what's tasted. Examples include sweetness, saltiness, bitterness, sourness, and spiciness.
  • Tactile: Describes what's felt. Examples include temperature, texture, touch, and movement.

Diction

  • In creative writing, diction refers to the author's word choice and style of expression.
  • Diction involves considering word connotations (associations and meanings beyond the dictionary definition). A word's connotation creates a stronger effect than its denotation (dictionary definition).
  • Examples of word choice elements include:
  • Idioms: Phrases with meanings that are not literal.
  • Slangs: Informal types of language, often associated with specific groups or times.
  • Jargons: Specialized vocabulary used by a particular group or profession.
  • Examples include: AWOL (absent without leave), BTW (by the way), LOL (laugh out loud), BFF (best friends forever)
  • Neologisms: Newly coined words or expressions not yet fully integrated into the language.
  • Examples include: Google (as a verb), troll(as a verb), Brangelina (a combination of names).YOLO
  • Regionalisms: Words with diverse meanings in different parts of a nation.
  • Examples include: Balo (Tagalog - meaning widow), (Capampangan - meaning to know), Lago (Tagalog - meaning fruit), (Capampangan- meaning beautiful)
  • Examples include: Kanan (Tagalog - meaning right direction), (Capampangan-meaning to eat)
  • Examples include: Kinis (Tagalog—smooth), (Capampangan -to bite).

Figures of Speech

  • Figures of speech are words or phrases that aren't literal, but are used to explain concepts more vividly.
