What is a "rhetorical figure"?
My question is In what ways is the "Green Works" name utilizing a rhetorical figure?
Re: School help - sTr - 10-14-2009
Quote:A rhetorical figure has traditionally been defined as an artful deviation (Corbett 1990). More formally, a rhetorical figure occurs when an expression deviates from expectation, the expression is not rejected as nonsensical or faulty, the deviation occurs at the level of form rather than content, and the deviation conforms to a template that is invariant across a variety of content and contexts. This definition supplies the standard against which deviation is to be measured (i.e., expectations), sets a limit on the amount and kind of deviation (i.e., short of a mistake), locates the deviation at the level of the formal structure of a text, and imposes a grouping requirement (i.e., there are a limited number of templates, each with distinct characteristics).

Sooo does that mean that Green Works utilizes the name saying that it is green which is just assumed to be good for the environment?
