E.g. Just then, a door on the second landing opened, and a face poked out wearing horn-rimmed glasses and a very annoyed expression. /J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire/ [49]

PUN is another stylistic device based on the interaction of two well-known meanings of а word or phrase. It aims at a humourous effect and is used in jokes, riddles, etc. It has much in common with zeugma, but it differs from it in its structure. Zeugma is the realization of the verb which refers to different subjects or objects, while pun is more independent. [4, p.151] It can, for example, be based on:
1. The play upon words with the same spelling and sounding, but different meaning
E.g. Army doctor: «Do you have any physical defects?»
In ductee; «Yes, no guts.» [6]
2. The play upon homophones (sound alike, but different in spelling and meaning)
E.g. «The storm caused a whole lot of damage»
«A hole lot of what?» [6]
3. The play upon mix of phrase and their word-components
E.g. There are only two political groups after the election, the appointed and the disappointed.
E.g. Father: «Are there half-fares for children?»
Conductor: «Yes, under fourteen.»
Father: «That's all right. I have only five.» [6]
THE EPITHET is a stylistic device based on the interplay of logical and emotive meanings in an attributive word, phrase or even sentence used to characterize an object (both existing and imaginary) [4; p. 157]. It aims at individual perception and evaluation, imposing on the reader the subjective attitude of the writer/speaker to the thing described. Epithets may be classified semantically and structurally.
Semantically, epithets are divided into:
· Associated (those which point to a feature which essential to the object they describe, i.e the idea expressed by the epithet is inherent in the concept of the object)
E.g. dark forest; careful attention; fantastic terrors.
· Unassociated (they are used to characterize the object by adding a feature not inherent in it).
