- As we have seen through the different types of text, it was evident to see the effects of words in its content and function to achieve a certain purpose in the reader.
- Types of Meaning: In my opinion they are very attached to the dialectic character of languages. The standard definition we give to words, so we don’t get confuse while using the language code and the variations acquire by the everyday use of the language.
- Types of Context: I think that having domain of the context in its different level give you the resources to produce a discourse that will be well accepted by the audience.
- Primary and Contextual: The Metaphor, Metonymy and Irony emphasize ideas or objects that have similarities or that are totally opposite, this give a particular color to every text we see with them.
- Primary and Derivative: (Zeugma, pun) it would be difficult to understand a poem or an essay if we don’t read between the lines. The information is distinctively hidden so we understand the character and author feelings.
- Logical and Emotive: Oxymoron; In which kind of text is more common to find this figure of speech?
- Intensification of a Feature: The Metaphor and Simile seem to have similar bases. Which Characteristics determine their different in a text?
The figures of speech under the intensification level have the tendency to over-exaggerate a comparison or an object itself and the use of extensive words to express or avoid saying something.
- Set of Expressions: Here we can notice the twist given to proverbs and quotes. This modifications made as improve our writing by the utterance of others author experiences.
- Deconstruction of Set Expressions: This deal with the interplay of two meanings. But, how do we get to do this interplay?
