Re: Reference: Rhetorical and Poetic Devices
Some new ones I came across as I was studying Latin:
Praeteritio (Latin for "I shall pass over"): The act of mentioning something to an audience while saying you won't mention it. Usually used in oratory.
Example: I don't think I even need to mention the amount of media attention my opponent's recent affairs with one of his staff members has received.
Zeugma: Using one verb in two different senses at the same time.
Example: He could navigate a multimillion-dollar business deal and the new Black Diamond slope at his private ski resort.
