a. Alliteration
Alliteration is the repetition of the first letters or sounds in words. The figure of speech is used to create special effects or establish a particular mood or feeling, Giroux (1974: 14). For examples: 1) The sweet of bitter bark and burning clove. 2) The slow sea rises and the sheer cliff crumbles.
Hyperbole is exaggeration of a statement, usually deliberate and not meant to be taken literally, Hotben D. Lingga (2006: 286). For examples: 1) Let‟s have dinner, I am starving => very hungry. 2) When she was in Paris, she spent ton of money => a lot of money.

Irony is the use words to convey the opposite of their literal meaning. A statement or situation meaning is contradicted by the appearance or presentation of the idea, Barnet (1963: 34). For examples: 1) A man who is a traffic cop gets his license suspended for unpaid parking tickets. 2) Someone says to his friend “you are very slim” whereas the fact is that his friend is very fat. The types of Irony: a) Verbal irony, it is a disparity of expression and intention when a speaker says one thing but means another, or when a literal meaning is contrary to its intended effect. b) Dramatic irony, it is a disparity of expression and awareness when words and actions possess significance that the listener or audience understands, but the speaker or character does not. Situational irony, it is the disparity of intention and result, when result of an action is contrary to the desired or expected effect. For example: “Launder becomes a dirty word”. Download 0.55 Mb.
