| Allusion | An indirect reference to a person or event. These may be, but not necessarily, people and events in mythology or history. An allusion can create an added dimension to an image often by comparison to similar qualities. |
| Connotation | The implied or suggested meaning of a word. E.g. Mother has the connotation of 'female' 'caring' 'sensible' 'loving' etc. |
| Symbolism | A word or phrase signifying a sign or mark representing something else. A symbol brings a significant idea and all connotations through use of a single word. E.g. The cross, Christianity. |
| Oxymoron | Two words or phrases of opposite or contrasting meaning placed together for effect. E.g. "Parting is such sweet sorrow." |
| Rhyme | The repetition of sounds. There are many effects that may be created through the use of rhyme. Rhyme can give a musical quality to the writing, help us remember verses and ideas, give us a sense of security as we know or can guess what's coming next, shock us if we are expecting a certain rhyme and don't get it or make us laugh. |
| Extended Metaphor | The comparison between two things is continued beyond the first point of comparison. This extends and deepens a description. |
| Simile | Comparing two ideas by drawing similarities using 'as' or 'like.' Used to emphasize specific characteristics or features of the subject. |
| Alliteration | The repetition of the same sound at the start of words in close proximity. This draws attention to the phrase and makes it more memorable. Can also create an onomatopoeic effect. |
| Metaphor | Directly comparing two things by saying one is the other. This creates a strong comparison and highlights the similarities between the two ideas in an almost exaggerated manner. |
| Assonance | Repeating the same vowel sounds in words of close proximity. This draws attention to the phrase and makes it more memorable. Can also create an onomatopoeic effect. |
| Repetition | Repeating the same word (or derivatives of the same word) throughout a piece of writing. It emphasizes the idea and makes it more memorable. Can also be used to link ideas together or create a structure in the writing. |
| Personification | Giving human qualities to inhuman, inanimate objects. |
| Onomatopoeia | Words which, when said, sound like the thing they are describing. E.g. 'POP' sounds like the noise a balloon makes when it bursts. |
