THEME: PHONETIC STYLISTIC DEVICES AND
EXPRESSIVE MEANS
The stylistic approach to the utterance is not confined to its structure ana sense. The sound of most words taken separately will have little or no aesthetic value. It is in combination with other words that a word may acquire a desired phonetic effect. Thus, different types of sound combinations may produce certain stylistic effect especially if they are properly used.
Phonetic expressive means and stylistic devices are used for the purpose of producing certain acoustic effect, giving emphasis to the utterance and arousing emotions in the reader or the listener.
Euphony is such a combination of words and such an arrangement of utterance which produces pleasing acoustic effect, that is a pleasing effect on the ear.
Euphony is generally achieved by such phonetic stylistic devices as alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhythm, rhyme.
The laws of euphony in prose differ form the laws of euphony in poetry. Thus, alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhythm and rhyme may have different application and different stylistic effect in prose and poetry.
General Notes
Onomatopoeia is a use of words or combinations of words whose sounds produce an imitation of natural sound. E.g.:
“And the great pines grown aghast” (Shelley)
The repetition of the sounds [g] and [r] is aimed at imitating the sounds of the forest on a stormy night.
There are two varieties of onomatopoeia: direct and indirect.
Direct onomatopoeia is contained in words that imitate natural sounds, as ding-dang, bang, cuckoo, mew, ping-pong and the like. These words have different degrees of imitative quality.
Onomatopoeia
Alliteration is a phonetic stylistic device which aims at making a melodic effect to the utterance. It is based on the reiteration of initial similar consonant sounds in close succession, particularly at the beginning of successive word. E.g.: And the day is dark and dreary; no pay, no play; fa te and fortune.
Alliteration is generally regarded as a musical accompaniment of the authors idea, supporting it with somevague emotional atmosphere which each reader interprets for himself. Thus the repetition of a certain sound prompts the feeling of anxiety, fear, horror, anguish or all these feelings simultaneously.
Alliteration is often used in poetry, emotive prose and the style of mass media (specially headlines) as well as in proverbs and sayings.
Alliteration
Rhythm exists in all spheres of human activity and assumes multifarious form.
The stylistic device of rhythm is a regular alternation
of stressed and unstressed syllables in the utterance.
Rhyihmical arrangement may be found in prose too but it is an inconsistent element of poetry:
Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea,
Low, Iow, breathe and blow,
Over the rolling waters go.
(A. Tennyson)
Rhythm is sometimes used by the author to produce
the desired stylistic effect, whereas in poetry rhythmical arrangement is constant organic element, a natural outcome of poetic emotion.
Rhythm
Rhyme is the repetition of identical or similar sound combinations of words.
Rhyming words are generally placed at a regular distance from each other. In verse they are usually placed at the end of the corresponding lines. E.g.: say, day, play;
measure, pleasure.
So rhyme is most often used in poetry and performs different functions. One of the leaaing functions is to make the expressions bright, easy to remember:
