Rhythm and its functions Rhythm is a complicated language system. This system comprises well organized
elements of different sizes in whish smaller rhythmic units are joined into more complex ones: a rhythmic group – an intonation group – a phrase (a line in poetry) – a phonopassage. Rhythm serves to unite elements in speech: smaller units are organized into larger ones, larger units include smaller ones. So rhythm unites text segments into a whole and at the same time cuts the discourse into elements. This is integrative and delimitative function. Rhythmically organized speech is easily perceived. From the psycholinguistic point of view the regularity in rhythm seems to be in harmony with his biological rhythms. On the linguistic level the pragmatic value of speech rhythm is realized in its volitional function. Rhythm is capable of expressing different degrees of emotional effect of the listener.

The semantic relation of meanings of a word on the one hand literal, and on the other, transferred. For example: "It is not linen you are wearing out but human creature's life!" Pun. Pun is another stylistic device based on the interaction of two well-known meanings of a word or phrase. It is difficult to draw a distinction between zeugma and pun. The only distinguishing feature is that zeugma is the realization of two meanings with the help of a verb - direct and indirect. The pun is more independent.
