 PATTERNS OF LEXICAL STYLISTIC DEVICES

 Interplay of different types of lexical meaning;

 Intensification of characteristic traits of the
phenomena described;
 Intentional mixing of word of different stylistic
aspects.

The following classification of lexical stylistic devices
is suggested by I.R.Galperin:
 stylistic devices based on interaction of primary dictionary and
contextually imposed meanings: metaphor, metonymy, irony;
 stylistic devices based on interaction of primary dictionary and
derivative logical meanings: zeugma and pun;
 stylistic devices based on interaction o f logical and emotive
meanings: epithet, oxymoron, hyperbole;
 a stylistic device based on interaction o f logical and nominal
meanings: antonomasia.
