Syntactical EM based on the redundancy of elements of the neutral syntactic model.




EM BASED ON THE REDUNDANCY OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE

Repetition is a reiteration of the same word or phrase to lay an emphatic stress on certain parts of the sentence.

Various types of repetition can be found in fiction:

1) ordinary repetition, i.e. a repetition of a word in close succession, e.g. She talked, in fact, and talked, and talked (A.Berkley);

2) framing or ring repetition, i.e. a repetition in which the opening word or phrase is repeated at the end of the sentence or a group of sentences, e.g. / cooled off where Frank was concerned; he didn't notice, but I cooled off (V. Pritchett);

3) anadiplosis or catch repetition, i.e. a repetition of the last word in a sentence or clause at the beginning of the next one, e.g. Yes, but I was afraid, afraid I'd go to one who'd tell Paul. I didn't know who to go to, who I could trust (D.Hammett);

4) chain repetition, i.e. a combination of catch repetitions, e.g. A smile would come into Mr. Pickwick's face. The smile extended into laugh; the laugh into roar, the roar became genera! (Ch. Dickens).

Enumeration is a repetition of homogeneous parts of the sentence, aimed at emphasising the whole utterance, e.g. / found battlers, secondmen, chauffeurs, cooks, maids, upstairs girls, downstairs girls, and a raft of miscellaneous flunkies - he had enough servants to run a hotel (D.Hammett).

Syntactical tautology is a superfluous repetition of semantically identical words or phrases to Say stress on a. certain part of the sentence e.g. She's always one for a change, Gladdie is... (A.Christie).

Polysyndeton is a repetition of conjunctions in close succession which are used to connect sentences, clauses, or words and make the utterance more rhythmical, e.g. She had herself a rich ruby look, for what with eating and drinking, and shouting and laughing and singing her face was crimson and almost steaming (J.Priestley).

Emphatic constructions may intensify or contrast any part of the sentence, giving it an emotive charge. The emphatic construction with "do" is used as a predicate intensifier. The construction "it is smb/smth who/that intensifies the subject; the construction "it is then that" stresses the adverbial modifier of time; "it is by/with/through smth that' makes prominent the adverbial modifier of manner. "It is to that/smth there that" brings to the foreground the object of the sentence, e.g. That evening it was Dave, who read to the boys their bed-time story (D. Carter); It was then that Poirot received a brief note from Sady Willard (A.Christie); / do know it! (D.Hammett).

Parenthetical clauses are sentences or phrases inserted into a syntactical structure without being grammatically connected with it. The functions of parenthesis are those of exemplification, deliberation, or reference. Parenthetical clauses may produce various stylistic effects:

1) creating two layers of the narrative, e.g. He tried to shake Wynant down by threatening to shoot him, bomb his house. Kidnap his children, cut his wife's throat - / don't know what all - if he didn't come across (D.Hammett);

2) emphasising this or that fact, e.g. He laughed - not loud but in complete delight - and stood up exclaiming: "Judith herself!" (D.Hammett);

3) exemplifying certain points, e.g. The dog - a shapeless monster in the night - buried itself at the other side of the gate and barked terrifically (D.Hammett).
