Synonymic repetition
− the use of synonyms denoting the same object of 
reality and occurring in the given segment of text. We should distinguish: 
1.
the use of 
synonyms of precision,
2.
the use of 
synonymic variations.
 
Synonyms of precision 
−
 
two or more synonyms may follow one another to 
characterize the object in a more precise way. The second synonym 
expresses some additional feature of the notion; both synonyms permit a 
fuller expression of it. E. g.: 
e.g.«Joe was a mild, good-natured, sweet-tempered, easy-going, foolish 
fellow» (Dickens).
Synonymic variations
. 
Frequently synonyms or synonymic expressions are 
used instead of the repetition of the same word or the same expression to 
avoid the monotonousness of speech, as excessive repetition of the same 
word makes the style poor. 
T 
Tautology 
− needless repetition of an idea in a different word, phrase or 
sentence; redundancy; pleonasm. 
Terminology 
− the system of terms used in a specific science, art or 
specialised subject. 
Trochee 
− in prosody: a foot of two syllables, a stressed followed by an 
unstressed one. 
Transfer 
− to convey, carry, remove or send from one position, place or 
person to another.
Transference 
− the act or process of transferring.

Trope 
− a figure of speech based on some kind of transfer of denomination. 
U 
Unfinished sentences (aposiopesis) 
− refers to cases when the speaker 
stops short in the very beginning or in the middle of the utterance, thus 
confining his mode of expression to a mere allusion, a mere hint at what 
remains unsaid.
e. g. 
«She had her lunches in the department-store restaurant at a cost
 
of 
sixty cents for the week; dinners were one dollar five cents. The evening 
papers... came to six cents; and Sumnday papers... were ten cents. The 
total amounts to 4 dollars 76 cents. Now, one had to buy clothes, and-» 
(O'Henry).
