Abstract:

This article deals with literary devices that, due to an author’s discretion, arise out of the simple description of a real object or an event. Alexandre Dumas used a technique of this kind in the central novel of his trilogy Queen Margot, La Dame de Monsoreau and The Forty-Five Guardsmen (1845—1848). In La Dame de Monsoreau, Dumas details a hunt, one of the favorite amusements of the royal court of Henry III of France and of the upper nobility. He describes it from the beginning of the exciting action to the end: first, the flushing out of a wild animal, then its pursuit, and, eventually, the

Abstract:

Literature plays an important role in teaching four basic language skills like reading, writing, listening and speaking. However, when using literature in the language classroom, skills should never be taught in isolation but in an integrated way. Teachers should try to teach basic language skills as an integral part of oral and written language use, as part of the means for creating both referential and interactional meaning, not merely as an aspect of the oral and written production of words, phrases and sentences.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the literary device used in Esther chapters 8-9, which the author intends to justify the massacre of the Jews. In a nutshell, there are three literary devices for that purpose in the text. The first is the repetition of the record that ‘but they laid not their hands on the prey.’ The second is the omission of mention of ‘little ones and women’ in their slaughter. The third is an explicit explanation of ‘protect themselves.’ The text persuades the readers through these literary devices that this slaughter was justified.

Abstract:

Social media are increasingly envisioned by public health authorities as a new promising arena for public engagement. Against this backdrop, this article attends to how citizens confirm, debate and resist governmental framings of health information online. By drawing upon STS and affect theory, it centers on the digital mediation of feelings on a Facebook engagement site for HPV vaccination. While the public authorities framed HPV vaccination as a matter of love and fear, a wide register of positive and negative feelings were mediated on the site. The article proposes the notion of ‘digitalise

Abstract:

This article deals with the use of irony and sarcasm as stylistic devices in world fiction. These instruments entertain readers as well as challenge ideas, societal systems, and characters. While sarcasm provides cutting, usually funny comments, irony lets writers build nuanced meanings that contradict literal interpretations. This paper shows how sarcasm and irony improve narrative depth and reveal underlying realities by means of analysis of a few chosen works from English, Russian, and Uzbek literature. In the end, these artistic approaches enhance literary conversation and involve readers

Abstract:

<em>This article is devoted to some difficulties of literary translation. The translation of fiction in almost any case requires the use of imagination from the translator, but it is necessary to master this skill to an adequate extent so as not to misrepresent the author’s work reproduced on paper. It happens that the original text seems meaningless, but this is not the fault of the author at all, but the lack of competence of the translator. Therefore, in order to avoid such ambiguities, the literary translator should make every effort to better understand the author’s intention.

Abstract:

This paper is wholly designed to discuss the use of Irony in two famous classic short stories: Rip Van Winkle and The Story of an Hour. The two stories used Irony as a literary device in many positions to add a sense of humor and surprise in the reader's perception. Irony could take three shapes, as literature usually explains. Irony could be verbal, situational, or dramatic. Two types of these appeared in the two stories as literary devices and added a sense of weirdness and humor as expected when using Irony. Irony is widely applied as a useful literary device. This paper stresses the point

Abstract:

The electronic rat-control devices are humane means of controlling harmful rodents without toxic substances. They are relatively inexpensive and very easy to use and have gained increasing popularity in recent years. Although they have been introduced long ago in the practice of deratization, scientific information about their real effectiveness is scarce and at the same time very controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the repellent efficiency of an electronic device using the combined action of ultrasonic waves, light signals, and electromagnetic field change in practice.

Abstract:

Addressing the problem of the prospering of the wicked, Psalm 37 uses a poetic device to enact their destruction symbolically and concretely for the reader/listener in visible and audible correspondence and semantic affinity. A pivotal alliterative word series, chiastic in sound and sense, serves as an organizing pattern to subsume a system of literary devices and imagery.
