"Beauty is truth, and truth is beauty in the ideal world of the absolute. According to this interpretation, what seems to be a paradox, the oneness of beauty and truth, is not a paradox" (Austin 49). A paradox, but then not?

A Chia Pet? No, a Chiasmus!

“There is no ‘literary’ device – metonymy, synecdoche, litotes, chiasmus and so on – which is not quite intensively used in daily discourse.” (Eagleton 5)

Who would have thought that adding the word “no”, would create a whole new term?
“Litotes (LY-toh-teez, from the Greek word for “simple” or “plain”) is a figure of thought in which a point is affirmed by negating its opposite. It is a special kind of understatement, where the surface denial serves, through ironic contrast, to reinforce the underlying assertion”(Hamilton 57).

"There is no 'literary' device - metonymy, synecdoche, litotes, chiasmus and so on - which is not quite intensively used in daily discourse." (Eagleton 6).

“There is not ‘literary’ device- metonymy, synecdoche, litotes, chiasmus, and so on- which is not quite intensively used in daily discourse.”

I hate to admit it, but the word synecdoche always stumps me.

Metonymy, Synecdoche, Smetonyche...?
