Invective-Mood
AP Language and Composition Rhetorical Terms which have appeared on previous AP Language exams:
|
| A | B |
|---|
| Invective | a verbally abusive attack |
| Inversion | reversing the customary (subject first, then verb, then complement) order of elements in a sentence or phrase; it is used effectively in many cases, such as posing a question: “Are you going to the store?” Usually, the element that appears first is emphasized more than the subject. |
| Irony | a situation or statement in which the actual outcome or meaning is opposite to what was expected |
| Jargon | The special language of a profession or group. The term usually has pejorative associations, with the implication that jargon is evasive, tedious, and unintelligible to outsiders. The writings of the lawyer and the literary critic are both susceptible to jargon. |
| Logical Fallacy | a mistake in reasoning |
| Loose Sentence | a type of sentence in which the main idea (independent clause) comes first, followed by dependent grammatical units such as phrases and clauses. A work containing many loose sentences often seems informal, relaxed, and conversational |
| Lyrical | Songlike; characterized by emotions, subjectivity, and imagination. |
| Metaphor | a figure of speech in which one thing is referred to as another; for example, “my love is a fragile flower” |
| Metonymy | a figure of speech that uses the name of an object, person, or idea to represent something with which it is associated, such as using “the crown” to refer to a monarch ; Also, “The pen is mightier than the sword.” |
| Mood | similar to tone, it is the primary emotional attitude of a work (the feeling of the work; the atmosphere). Syntax is also a determiner of this term because sentence strength, length, and complexity affect pacing. |
