Some with a flattering word, 
The coward does it with a kiss, 
The brave man with a sword! 
 
Aposiopesis (Break - in - the narrative).
Sudden break in the narration has the 
function to convey the strong emotions, to reveal agitated state of the speaker, - he 
can’t proceed his speech[64]. 
e. g. You just come home or I’ll... 
The difference between ellipsis and break is that in ellipsis the speaker 
deliberately stops to let the listener guess, and in the break- he really or feigningly 
can’t speak. 
Question in the narrative
. Changes the real nature of a question and turns it 
into a stylistic device. A question in the narrative is asked and answered by one and 
the same person, usually the author. It becomes akin to a parenthetical statement with 
strong emotional implications. 
e. g. For what is left the poet here? For Greeks a blush 
- for Greece a tear. (Byron “Don Juan”) 
Unlike rhetorical questions it does not contain statements. Question in the 
narrative is very often used in oratory. This is explained by one of the leading features 
of oratorical style - to induce the desired reaction to the content of the speech. 
There are 3 ways of reproducing character's speech.1) direct speech; 2) indirect 
speech (reported speech) 
3) represented speech – introduction of the voice of the heroes in author’s speech.. 
Represented speech
(non-personal direct speech). There is also a device which 
coveys to the reader the unuttered or inner speech of the character, his thoughts and 
feelings. This device is also termed represented speech [48]. To distinguish between 
the two varieties of represented speech we call the representation of the actual 
utterance through the author's language «uttered represented speech», and the

representation of the thoughts and feelings of the character “unuttered or inner 
represented speech”. 
Peculiarities: 
1) the absence of quotation marks 
2) the usage of the 3
rd
person sg- mostly 
3) the specific choice of vocabulary 
4) question and exclamatory marks in narrative 
5) the great degree of emotional tension 
6) the usage of interjections
