GRAPHICAL STYLISTIC MEANS.

In modern advertising, mass media & creative prose sound is foregrounded through the change of its accepted graphical representation. The intentional violation of the graphical shape of word or word comb-n used to reflect its authentic pronunciation is called a graphon. Introduced into E. novels & journalisms in the 18 century graphon proved to be an extremely effective means of supplying info about speaker’s origin, social & educ. Background, physical & emot. condition, etc. (sellybrated, illygitmet). Graphons are also good at conveying atmosphere of authentic life communication. We have such clichés as in conversation as gotta, wonna, gimme, lemme, wille, nowaru. It becomes popular with advertisers. E.g.: Pik-wik(pick quick). There also exist dif. Forms of foregrounding: 1)capitalization, 2)italics, 3)spacing of graphemes: - hyphenation(ч/з дефис, с пробела); multiplication(1 &the same letter written several times). A special trend- graphical imagism: e.g. the whole poem is written in form of a bird.

METAPHOR.

Metaphor (Gk. metaphora ‘transference’) is any kind of figurative use in art.It is often treated as parable or allegory that traditionally expresses abstract ideas through concrete pictures.As a SD metaphor is an imaginative identification of one concept (Т) with another (V), or a hidden comparison of two objects with no real connection. It is a transfer by similarity (likeness, affinity) resulting in the violation of normal correspondence between concepts and words. Function. Metaphors make descriptions concrete and vivid. Metaphors can be embodied in all the basic parts of speech – nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.

Noun Metaphors V.A. Maltzev isolated certain structural patterns of noun metaphors, depending on the type of identification of Т and V: Т is V: Love is a disease. Т turns into V: E.g. The fine autumn afternoon was losing its bright gold and turning into smoke and distant fading flame. Something makes Т into V: E.g. Lights were giving the unlit entrances a sombre air of mystery.

V replaces Т: E.g. The little devil raged in.

Adjective, Adverb and Verb Metaphors

In non-noun metaphors the vehicle is hidden and must be identified by properties or actions denoted by adjectives, adverbs and verbs. E.g. The passion that held Strickland was no less tyrannical than love. (Maugham)

Metaphor has no formal limitations: it can be a word, a phrase, any part of a sentence, or a sentence as a whole.
