Periphrasisis the nomination of an object or action through exhibiting certain features of this object or action. Such periphrasis is based on one of the original features of the object: The sun was beginning to yawn and edge towards his bed, behind the far mountains, the sun was setting. She wondered a little to and fro, perhaps clumsily, but still with marked success, maintaining her balance on those two tiny supports, standing on her little feel.
Periphrasis is divided into two groups: logical and figurative. In the first group of periphrasis the logical notion prevails while in the second group — the figurative notion is leading and periphrasis is based on some image. The logical periphrasis constitutes the essence of traditional dictionary periphrasis: to turn over a new leaf (make a new, a better start), one's better half (one's wife), to tie the knot (to marry); the House of Cod (the church or chapel); to enter the House (to become an MP) etc. All these word combinations are synonyms by nature and have become phraseological units. Many of such word combinations are used in the language of mass media. Some of them are spread in the language of official style because they have become clichés: Many of them are based on the use of euphemisms.
Figurative periphrasis is often based on the use of a metaphor or metonymy: Five weeks of perfect liberty ... would have prepared her for the day of bells (for the day of wedding). He jumped to his feet, rattled his throat, and planted firmness on his brows and mouth ... that his blood might be lively at the throne of understanding (his brains). Everybody would smile when such expressions are used in everyday speech: "A period of unfavorable weather set ininstead of "It rained every day", "He showed satisfaction as he took possession of his well-earned reward" instead of "He grinned as he pocketed the coin".
One of the stylistic functions of periphrasis is to produce a satirical or humorous effect, sarcastic description: “Come on”, said Miss Handforth, “has the cat got your tongue?” (Can you speak?); to be snatched up to the skies (to die). It may create elevated style. E.g.: - And what do you do all day? – I imbibe nourishment in my room, replied the Baron.
In some cases periphrasis is regarded as a demerit and should have no place in good precise writing. It is generally called circumlocution.
