    I don't think punctuation counts as a literary device, but that might just be me. When I said elipsis, I didn't mean this sucker: . . .. And if someone were to say apostrophe, they'd better not mean '!

    It is just as much a literary device as an Allegory, in the sense that it can be used to drive the litterature to an artistic level. Most all forms of art can be performed with a double entandra; better yet, it can layer into even more devices as symbolism. A whole story can often be a double entandra, as in simplistic satire. It is an amazing thing - as am I.


    Literary devices refers to specific aspects of literature, in the sense of its universal function as an art form which expresses ideas through language, or with regard to a particular work, which we can recognize, identify, interpret and/or analyze. Both literary elements and literary techniques can rightly be called literary devices.

    Then punctuation should also be considered a device, as when it is used in different ways, different interpretations would arise. Amazings things are things you don't expect. I expect nothing less from a GOE.

    Definitely onomatopoeia.

    Punctuation is grammar, and if you're going to meddle in fallacies tavrobel, I would say that would belong to rhetorical devices, which is outside the scope of the topic!

    How wrong you are.

    I winnar you. As a punishment, I want the rights to in medias res, as well.

    Words in Literature are often misleading. Don't stop to think for even a second that if you don't know what something is, that you can simply get its proper meaning from context or related words, Grasshopper.

    I will argue that which is correct, and regardless of whether or not she wants to ban me, I will not lose sleep if I ever am incorrect. Perhaps you would not like to argue with a Cid's Knight, but I will do it as I deem fit.
