Thank you so much for these terms, two of which I have never heard of
and one that I had not thought of. I'll definitely search for the
Fludernik reference and try a broad search for "catachresis"? Would
you happen to have a source or rremember where you read about it Sean?
Thanks again to all for helping out. Gloria

>> Greetings. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of a term that
>> describes what I'm referring to as "dual voicing" (or something
>> similar) in any of the literature? The concept I'm referring to is
>> the presence of contrasting rhetoric within a phrase or sentence; or
>> another way of saying it might be the presence of contrasting lexicon
>> or lexical phrases in one
>> sentence. For example, "I stare in wonder at this eerie planet
>> floating in a sea of darkness". Rhetorically, very interesting in an
>> examination context in which the writer is probably aligning with an
>> examination prompt; yet, the writer introduces adjectives and
>> adjective phrases that send discordant rhetorical signals. I am
>> familiar with allusion and the
>> connotation-denotation divide...but, somehow these concepts don't
>> quite capture what I'm trying to express.
>>
>> I've come across multi-voicing in the literature but that seems to
>> refer to different types of forms of writing such as patch-work
>> writing or the inclusion in an essay of poetry, an anecdote, a letter,
>> etc.. My focus at this stage is not on the whole textual pattern but
>> on the contrastive rhetorical and communicative features at the lower
>> level of text (within a sentence). I anticipate my search to be a
>> linguistic or literary term as compared to a term appropriate within
>> theoretical (i.e. subjectivity) or intertextual analysis
>> (i.e.Bakhtinian concept of multiple voices, etc.. At this stage of my
>> writing, I'm sure any input would be helpful. Thanks. Gloria
