Stylistic semasiology

Distant repetition:
e.g. "Nobody tells me anything" (J. Galsworthy).
James Forsite said throughout the novel.
Framing is 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).
The so called appended statement (the repetition of the pro­nominal subject and of the auxiliary part of the predicate) are also referred to framing:
«You've made a nice mess, you have...» (Jerome).
Anadiplosis is a kind of repetition in which a word or a group of words concluding a sentence, a phrase or a verse line recur at the beginning of the next segment:
«With Bewick on my knee, I was then happy; happy at least in my way» (Bronte).
Prolepsis is repetition of the noun subject in the form of a per­sonal pronoun. The stylistic purpose of this device is to emphasize the subject, to make it more conspicuous. E. g.:
«Miss Tillie Webster, she slept forty days and nights without waking up» (O'Henry).
Prolepsis is especially typical of uncultivated speech:
«Bolivar, he's plenty tired, and he can't carry double» (O'Henry).
In a way related to prolepsis proper is the repetition of the gen­eral scheme of the sentence, which is to avoided in literary speech: «.I know the like of you are, I do» (Shaw).
Polysyndeton. Stylistic significance is inherent in the inten­tional recurrence of form-words, for the most part conjunctions. The repetition of the conjunction and underlines close connection of the successive statements, e. g.:
«If (the tent) is soaked and heavy, and it flogs about, and tum­bles down on you, and clings round your head, and makes you mad» (Jerome).
Occasionally, it may create a general impression of solemnity, probably, due to certain association with the style of the Bible. E. g.:
«And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon the house; and it fell; and great was the fall of it» (Matthew).
The conjunction and is extremely often used in colloquial speech, where it is not a stylistic device but mere pleonasm caused by the poverty of the speaker's vocabulary.
It is connecting sentences, or phrases, or words by using connectives (mostly conjunctions and prepositions) before each component part:
e.g. By the time he had got all the bottles and dishes and knives and forks and glasses and plates and spoons and things piled up on big trays, he was getting very hot.
The function of polysyndeton is to straighten the idea of equal logical (emotive) importance of connected sentences. The conjunctions being generally unstressed, when placed before each meaningful member will cause the alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables. Hence, its rhythmical function. In addition it has a disintegrating function. Polysyndeton makes each member of a string of facts stand out conspicuously.

3.3 Order of speech elements

The English sentence is said to be built according to rigid pat­terns of word order. It means that any deviation from usual order of words which is permissible is very effective stylistically.
