Seven Principles of Textuality
“each text should comprise”
De Beaugrande and Dressler (1982)
Simile
The heart of both these figures is comparison.
Simile establishes the comparison explicitly with the
words like or as.
“My daughter dances like an angel.”
Simile has three constituents:
1. the on which is compared, comparandum
2. the one being compared to, comparatum
3. the element common for both of them, tertium
comparationis
Metaphor
Metaphor employs no such explicit verbal clue.
“My daughter is an angel.”
The angelic attributes are not restricted to the way
she dances, they are more extensive, i. e. she may
be nice as an angel, white as an angel, saint as an
angel, or all possibilities mentioned above…
Symbolism and allegory
“A symbol is any object or action that means
more than itself, any object or action that
represents something beyond itself.”
(DiYanni, 1990)
In the extract we can see the examples of both end rhyme and
internal rhyme:
