Parenthetic words, phrases and sentences:
In the following extract one can see the feverish succession of thoughts in Clyde Griffiths' mind:
"... he was struck by the thought (what devil's whisper? - what evil hint of an evil spirit?) - supposing that he and Roberta - no, say he and Sondra - (no, Sondra could swim so well, and so could he) - he and Roberta were in a small boat somewhere and it should capsize at the very time, say, of this dreadful complication which was so harassing him? What an escape! What a relief from a gigantic and by now really destroying problem! On the other hand - hold - not so fast! - for could a man even think of such a solution in connection with so difficult a problem as this without committing a crime in his heart, really — a horrible, terrible crime?" (Dreiser)
In other cases, the parenthetic form of a statement makes it more conspicuous, more important than it would be if it had the form of a subordinate clause:
"The main entrance (he had never ventured to look beyond that) was a splendiferous combination of a glass and iron awning, coupled with a marble corridor lined with palms." (Dreiser)
Paradigmatic semasiology deals with transfer of names or what are traditionally known as tropes. In Skrebnev’s classification these expressive means received the term based on their ability to rename: figures of replacement.
All figures of replacement are subdivided into 2 groups: figures of quantity and figures of quality.
