This
powerpoint
is to teach you poetry vocabulary. After learning the words there will be a game to quiz the words you know. So lets begin! Slide3
Alliteration- Repetition of the same sounds to bind or balance—usually initial sounds, and usually consonants. Slide4
Allusion
- A form of trope in which the literal referents in a work (images, persons, plots) suggests analogies with well-known myths or stories, ranging from direct to less direct forms of reference. Slide5
Assonance
- Repetition of medial vowels in words that begin and end on different consonants; more generally, alliteration on vowels. For example, the short sounds, which is repeated in cast, fast and have. Slide6
Persona
- (literally mask) The rhetorical pose that the speaker invents and speaks through. It can be different from what we might expect the poet’s own rhetorical and intellectual position to be
.Slide7
Elision
- (literally, a striking out) The collapse of two syllables into one, marked by a curved line [curved line] beneath a word in scanning a poem. The most common elisions are the most effortless and involve the blurring of lightly aspirated consonants rather than hard ones. Slide8
Tension
- Pull, or tugging, which occurs either when syntax works against and diverges from line, or when other elements of style work against each other. Slide9
Sonnet
- A fourteen-line poem, first popular during the 14th to 17th centuries, with an intricate rhyme scheme and a built in propensity to shift viewpoint, tempo, or topic at the Volta or turn between lines 8 and 9 or before the final couplet Slide10
Volta
- (literally, a turn) The change in direction of argument in a sonnet that occurs between the octave and sestet. Slide11
Enjambment
- The linked continuation of phrase or clause across the line boundary, creating a certain “tugging” effect. Slide12
Trope
- (literally a turn) The element of poetry that includes all forms of comparison and transfer of meaning by means of which language means doubly. Since the late Middle Ages, trope has been associated with figures of thought rather than figures of speech. Slide13
