Stylistic semasiology

Quotation. It is a SD always even in scientific prose because we raise a certain sentence to the level of abstractedness (significance is attached to it which it had not in the context). Quotation is a nonce phraseological unit, i.e. coined for the occasion:
e.g. "Next to the originator of a good sentence comes the first quoter of it" (Emerson).
That is one who can see the generalized essence. A quotation is always set against the other sentences of the text by its greater volume of sense and significance:
e.g. Ecclesiastes said, mat "All is vanity" — Most modem preachers say the same, or show it By their examples of true Christianity" (G. Byron).
Quotations, unlike epigrams, need not be short; a whole paragraph or a long passage may be quoted as it suits the purpose.
Sometimes in spite of the fact that the exact wording is used, a quotation in a new environment may assume a new shade of meaning sought by the quoter but not intended by the writer of the original work.
Quotations are often used in epigraphs. In this case it possesses great asso­ciative power and calls forth much connotative meaning.

2.6 Phonetic expressive means and stylistic devices

They comprise all the ways of the use of sounds of sreech for stylistic purposes. The sound of most words taken separately will have little or no aesthetic value. It is in combination with other words that a word may acquire a desired phonetic effect.
Paralinguistic:
1) Intonation of a peculiar character "There is a cat" (means an animal, a woman, an especially good example of both).
Natural language is a breeding ground of amibiguity. In the written variety graphic means are used to show the correct or desired pronunciation (bold type, italics, inverted commas);
2) prolongation of vowels; 3) whisper; 4) shouting; 5) overstressing.
Euphony. The purpose of this phonetic expressive means is used mainly in prose be­cause poetry is euphonic in its essence. Euphony is a peculiar arrangement of speech which aims at a desired pleasing phonetic effect. Its main require­ments are: 1) the avoidance of similar sounds in close succession; 2) the avoidance of rhymes.
