Euphony

at a
 
desired pleasing phonetic effect.

Figures of contrast 
− based on opposition (incompatibility) of co-occurring 
notions. 
Figures of co-occurrence 
− based on interrelations of two or more units of 
meaning actually following one another. 
Figures of identity 
−
 
co-occurrence of synonymous or similar notions. 
Figures of inequality 
− based on differentiation of co-occurring notions. 
Figures of quality 
− based on radical qualitative difference between notion 
named and notion meant. 
Figures of quantity 
− based on only qualitative difference between 
traditional names and those actually used. 
Figures of replacement 
− tropes, 'renamings', replacing traditional names 
by situational ones. 
Foreign words
. Foreign words should not be confused with borrowed 
words. Foreign words in English are for the most part late borrowings from 
French — those words which have preserved their French pronunciation and 
spelling. 
E.g.:, 
the French formula «Au revoir» used in English by those ignorant of 
French has somethong exquisite. In the French word «chic» the same tinge 
of elegance is felt. 
Framing
− a particular kind of repetition in which the two repeated elements 
occupy the two most prominent positions — the initial and the final: 
«Never wonder. By means of addition, subtraction, multiplication and 
division, settle everything somehow, and never wonder» (Dickens).
