In this video, we discuss 9 literary devices definition examples - Imagery, Personification, Litotes, Onomatopoeia, Kenning, Metonymy, Synecdoche, Synesthesia and Zeugma. • Figures of speech in English Literature are used to highlight a particular description or to emphasize an interesting detail in order to beautify the literary work. Literary devices are used widely in poems, plays, novels and essays. • The first two figures of speech in english grammar that we look at are Imagery and Personification. • Imagery figure of speech is visually descriptive or figurative language that appeals to the five senses of the readers. They are of 5 types: Visual Imagery, Auditory Imagery, Olfactory Imagery, Tactile Imagery and Gustatory Imagery. • You can understand it better through the Imagery examples discussed in the video. • You can also find Personification meaning and Personification definition that will help you understand how it is different from imagery. We also discuss a few Personification examples from English Literature. • Next we talk about Litotes meaning and litotes examples. Litotes uses double negatives to affirm a positive statement. • Onomatopoeia figure of speech is the formation of words that imitate the natural sounds of a thing such as splash, tinkle. The Onomatopoeia meaning and Onomatopoeia examples are discussed in the video. • Kenning in English Literature is used as a metaphor. It is the combination of two words to form a compound phrase. In the video, we talk in detail about kenning meaning and kenning examples. • Next on our list is Metonymy. Metonymy meaning is simplified so that you can understand how it is used along with some easy Metonymy examples. • Synecdoche in poetry is used to replace part instead of whole and vice versa. You can understand the Synecdoche meaning when you take a closer look at the Synecdoche examples discussed in the video. • The Synesthesia figure of speech is used by writers to present characters, places and objects in such a way that they can appeal to more than one sense of the reader at a given time. Classic Synesthesia example is from Dante's Divine Comedy- 'Back to the region where the Sun is silent.' The statement appeals to both the senses of sight and hearing. • The Zeugma figure of speech is the usage of one word to govern two or more words for a powerful effect. You can understand zeugma meaning when you will take a look at the zeugma examples discussed in the video. • It is very important for every English Literature student to know about the several literary devices or figures of speech.
