There was a post like this going around tumblr a couple months back and it was really cool and interesting, so I thought the PB-community might enjoy it too - What are your favorite stilistic/rhetorical devices or even executions of literary themes? Do you have any specific examples of them being really well implemented? My favorite specific stylistic device by far is the hyperbaton, specifically in Latin and Ancient Greek, not in the simple sense of "inversion of word order" but rather of the separation of two gramatically connected words, e.g. "word [...] descriptive non-predicative adjective", because it (and any other use of a abnormal sentence structure) can be used to visually represent relations between the concepts behind the words or the characters and their feelings. I have some specific examples, but they would mostly be in Latin, but if someone is interested in knowing what they are, you're welcome to ask me, so then I can nerd out :) Otherwise, as I said, I simply enjoy interesting sentence structures, especially if they are meant to convey or visualise a message. Your turn :)
