d. Litotes/Understatement
Litotes is emphasizing the magnitude of a statement by denying its opposite, Hotben D. Lingga (2006: 287). For examples: 1) Gosh there's not much money there. 2) Johnny wasn't exactly a good neighbor. e. Metaphor A metaphor asserts the identity, without a connective such as “like” or a verb as “appears”, of terms that are literally incompatible Barnet, Berman, and Burto (1963: 334).

For examples: 1) You are what you eat. 2) My home is heaven. f. Metonymy In metonymy, something is named that replaces something closely related to it. Metonymy is also the rhetorical strategy of describing something indirectly by referring to thing around it, such as describing someone‟s clothing to characterize the individual, Barnet, Berman, and Burto (1963: 335). For examples: 1) He bought a Chevrolet (Chevrolet is used to mean a car). 2) The kettle is boiling (the kettle is used in a figurative sense to mean water).
g. Paradox Paradox is a term in rhetoric for a situation or statement that is or seems self-contradictory and even absurd, but may contain an insight into life, McArthur (1996: 348). For examples: 1) The child is father of the man (the nature of one‟s earlier life affects later ideas and attitude). 2) Nobody goes to that restaurant because it is too crowded. Download 0.55 Mb.
