# Rhetorical Figures The document is a list of rhetorical figures, with their definitions and examples in French. **OXYMORE** * **Definition:** Bringing together two words with opposite meanings within a single expression. * **Example:** "Manger son assiette" (eating one's plate) -- This is an oxymoron, implying the absurdity of such a statement. **PERIPHRASE** * **Definition:** Replacing a word with an expression that defines it. * **Example:** "La capitale de la France" (the capital of France) – a phrase used to specify Paris. **PERSONIFICATION** * **Definition:** Attributing human qualities to inanimate objects. * **Example:** "Un soleil voit naître et mourir la rose" (The sun sees the rose born and die). **PLEONASM** * **Definition:** The excessive use of words, with no added meaning. * **Example:** "Un géant vraiment grand" (a giant truly big) -- The word grand is used twice but doesn't add anything to the phrase. **SYNECDOCHE** * **Definition:** Replacing a word with another that is associated with it (part for whole, or whole for part). * **Example:** "Metz a gagné la finale" (Metz won the final) -- Assuming you refer to a sports team or a similar context. * **Example:** "Je quitterai bientôt ces murs" (I will leave these walls shortly) -- The walls are used to refer to the whole house, or the home environment. **POLYSYNDETE** * **Definition:** Using many coordinating conjunctions in a sentence. * **Example:** The document mentions the use of conjunctions to emphasize something. **ZEUGMA** * **Definition:** (briefly). A figure of speech involving a word or a phrase applied to several objects or actions. **Other terms** The document also includes words like: "clarity," and briefly discusses "Anaphoric parallelism", "anaphora", "paronomasia", and "reification". More context or further images would be needed to fully dissect each of these topics.
