Convergence (stylistic convergence)
— grouping several
stylistic devices round a notion, each setting off some of its
features. The concept of convergence was first introduced and
developed by M. Riffaterre [
Арнольд
, 1990: 64] He illustrated
this phenomenon by the following example from H. Mellville’s
‘Moby-Dick’:
e.g. And heaved and heaved, still unrestingly heaved the
black sea, as if its vast tides were a conscience.
In this example the following devices are actualized at once,
each punctuating the others: inversion and detachment, repetition,
polysyndeton, rhythm, the author’s coinage ‘unrestingly’, the
expressive epithet ‘vast’, the unusual direction of simile
‘concrete-> abstract’.
