E.g.It was absurd, scandalous and beautiful. /Maugham The Voice of the Turtle/ [1]
E.g. I mean, there’re no wild animals or anything else for that matter except the stranglers. /J. Kellerman The Web/ [26]
Note: Climax as well as anticlimax may be part of macro-level structure, causing the plot to develop either climatically or anticlimatically.
ANTITHESIS (or contrast) is a SD consisting of two steps, the lexical meanings of which stand in opposition. [4, p. 222; 5, p. 63]
E.g. A few seabirds hovered above us, but the sky was inert. /J. Kellerman The Web/ [26]
E.g. Lieutenant David Elliot loved Colonel Jack Kreuter. Lieutenant David Elliot betrayed Colonel Jack Kreuter. /Joseph R. Garber Vertical Run/ [17]

11 Seminar. The syntactic expressive means and stylistic devices
The examination of syntax provides a deeper insight into the stylistic aspect of
utterances. I.R. Galperin groups all figures of speech according to:
1. Compositional patterns of syntactic arrangement
· Stylistic inversion
· Detached construction
· Parallel construction
· Chiasmus
· Repetition
· Suspense
·2. Particular ways of combining parts of the utterance
· Asyndeton
· Polysyndeton
3. Particular use of colloquial constructions
· Ellipsis
· Break-in-the-narrative (Aposiopesis)
· Question-in-the-narrative
· Represented speech
4. Stylistic use of structural meaning
· Rhetorical question


STYLISTIC INVERSION is a figure of speech based on specific word order. It aims at attaching logical stress or additional emotional colouring to the surface meaning of the utterance. Therefore a specific intonation pattern is the inevitable element of inversion.
Stylistic inversion in Modern English should not be regarded as violation of Standard English. It is only a practical realization of what is potential in the language itself [4, p. 204].
The following patterns of stylistic inversion are most frequently met in both English prose and poetry:
· The object is placed at the beginning of the sentence.
