Figuring out language methods Composers work with various dialect techniques or features to generate their text messages more interesting and engaging to the avalar.

Some terminology techniques employed by Stephen Herrick in The Basic Gift will be: • simile: comparing the one thing with another using the words ‘like’ or perhaps ‘as’ • metaphor: an evaluation where a very important factor is said to be one more • colloquial language: every day speech characterized by informal language and shortened phrases (g’day, can’t) • immediate speech: quote marks (“) are used to reveal direct presentation, that is, the complete words that are spoken • slang: words which are stylish within a small group for a short period of time • literary occult meaning: makingreference to other recognized books, videos, etc • first person: making use of the pronouns I, me, my own, us, we all • comparatives and superlatives: adjectives intended for comparing, e. g.

|Adjective |Comparative |Superlative | |long |longer |longest | |small |smaller |smallest | |bright |brighter |brightest | • ellipsis: 3 dots to provide a pause, showing that some thing has been omitted • technique: gives information about the degree of conviction involved in an actions, e. g. |Low modality |Medium modality |High modality | |possibly |probably |definitely | |could |should |must | |never |sometimes |always | • juxtaposition: the close positioning of words or perhaps images to create an effect • imagery: to create a set of good mental images in the responder’s mind • repetition: a word or key phrase used often times to add emphasis • rhetorical question: something that is asked but which does not anticipate or want an answer.
