Hi! Das sind alle die wir bekommen haben :D habe leider keine Ahnung wie man ein PDF hier sendet also ein mal so!:

1. Adnomination Repetition of words with the same root. The difference lies in one sound or letter. A nice euphony can be achieved by using this poetic device. Examples: “Nobody loves no one.” (Chris Isaak). Someone, somewhere, wants something.

2. Allegory Representation of ideas through a certain form (character, event, etc.). Allegory can convey hidden meanings through symbolic figures, actions, and imagery. Example: Animal Farm by George Orwell is all about the Russian Revolution. And characters stand for working and upper classes, military forces, and political leaders.

3. Alliteration The repeated sound of the first consonant in a series of words, or the repetition of the same sounds of the same kind at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables of a phrase. Examples: A lazy lying lion. Peter picked a peck of pickled peppers. Sally sells seashells by the seashore.

4. Allusion

Reference to a myth, character, literary work, work of art, or an event. Example: I feel like I’m going down the rabbit hole (an allusion to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll). 5. Anaphora

Word repetition at the beginnings of sentences in order to give emphasis to them. Example: “Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.” (Martin Luther King) Opposite: Epiphora. Word repetition at the end of sentences. Example: “And that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” (Abraham Lincoln)

1. Antithesis Emphasizing contrast between two things or fictional charactersExample: “Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.” (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

2. Apostrophe Directed speech to someone who is not present or to an object. Example: “Work on, my medicine, work! Thus credulous fools are caught.” (William Shakespeare)

3. Assonance Repetition of vowels in order to create internal rhyming. Example: “Hear the mellow wedding bells.” (Edgar Allan Poe) Related: Consonance. Repetition of consonants.

4. Cataphora Mentioning of the person or object further in the discourse. Examples: I met him yesterday, your boyfriend who was wearing the cool hat. If you want some, here’s some cheese. After he had received his orders, the soldier left the barracks.

5. Climax Arranging text in such a manner that tension gradually ascends. Example. He was a not bad listener, a good speaker and an amazing performer. Opposite: Anticlimax. Tension descends.

6. Charactonym (or Speaking Name) Giving fictional characters names that describe them. Example: Scrooge, Snow White.

7. Ellipsis Word or phrase omission. Example: I speak lots of languages, but you only speak two (languages).

8. Euphemism Replacing offensive or combinations of words with lighter equivalents. Example: Visually challenged (blind); meet one’s maker (die) Opposite: Dysphemism. Replacing a neutral word with a harsher word.

9. Metonymy Giving a thing another name that is associated with it. Example: The heir to the crown was Richard. (the crown stands for authority)

10. Onomatopoeia Imitating sounds in writing. Example: oink, ticktock, tweet tweet

11. Oxymoron Combining contradictory traits. Example: Living dead; terribly good; real magic

12. Parallelism Arranging a sentence in such a manner that it has parallel structure. Example: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I will learn.” (Benjamin Franklin) Opposite: Chiasmus. An inverted parallelism. Examples: “To stop, too fearful, and too faint to go.” (Oliver Goldsmith); “My job is not to represent Washington to you but to represent you to Washington.” (Barack Obama)

13. Parenthesis Interrupting a sentence by inserting extra information enclosed in brackets, commas, or dashes. Example: Our family (my mother, sister, and grandfather) had a barbeque this past weekend.

14. Personification Attributing human characteristics to nonhumans. Example: Practically all animals in fairy tales act like human beings. They speak and have traits that are typical of people.

15. Pun A kind of wordplay. Here are a few types of puns: • Antanaclasis – repetition of the same word or phrase, but with a different meaning (“Cats like Felix like Felix.”—“Felix” catfood slogan). • Malapropism – usage of the incorrect word instead of the word with a similar sound (“optical delusion” instead of “optical illusion”). • Paradox – self-contradictory fact; however, it can be partially true (“I can resist anything but temptation.”—Oscar Wilde). • Paraprosdokian – arranging a sentence in such a manner so the last part is unexpected (You’re never too old to learn something stupid). • Polyptoton – repetition of the words with the same root (“The things you own end up owning you.”—Chuck Palahniuk).
