ZEUGMA: TRAINING MATERIAL WITH QUESTIONS AND TASKS
Journal Title: Записки з романо-германської філології - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The paper discusses zeugma as a device characterized by a violation in the meaning of words functioning within the limits of the same grammatical structure. The semantic shift from what is semantically expected to unexpected meanings results in an illogical combination of words. The paper is intended as a practical aid while teaching the linguistic peculiarity of a stylistic device.
