Oxymoron - what it is, examples in Russian, as well as the correct emphasis and difference from Oksimoron (or Aksemorone)

Hello, dear blog readers Website. Oxymoron is variety of figures of speech (The phrase, consisting of usually from two words), which is "all such a contradiction" (just like a woman), which is for living beetted. No, really. In oxymeror (permissible in Russian such writing on a par with Oxymoron - emphasis on the letter) Combined, it would seem that inequate qualities and essence. This is the figures and notable data.

This term has Greek roots and is a composite of two again contradictory words - sharply (in the sense of smart, i.e. funny) and stupidly (in the sense of stupid). That you beat some kind of witty nonsense, and if you use a faster, then it is nothing but nonsense, or nonsenpitsa (the latter, probably best suits).

So what is the oxymoron (sometimes they write it wrong in requests as Aremmerev), if you try to give a definition? And this, in essence, connection of two contrasting words (Often those opposite by the value of the type "Cold as Fire"). Want examples? Yes, please, as much as you like.

Just below you will find their tens, but for now, for the seed: "Virtual reality", "truthful lies" (remember such a movie with Schwarzen?), "Flying Fall" (and this is from advertising), "Listening silence", "Loud Silence" , "Beautiful to horror" (as an option - "terribly beautiful"), "hot ice" (hockey fans will understand), "Living dead", "silent cry", etc. All these are examples of oxymoronuses, but they appear more and more, for they cling to and attract attention. Why? Let's deal with.

What is an oxymorone or why combine incompatible?

First of all oxymoron is a way to attract attention, Integrate, make a person will surprise, stop, think about ... For example, the phrase "Long MiG" or "Complex Easy" discourages somewhat, stunning (as is it possible?), It causes unusual and unexpected associations, someone can even get smile. (So \u200b\u200bwrapped!).

And where is it best to use? Well, of course, where it is necessary to attract attention with a literally several words. So oxymifiers are very often found in the names of books (examples - "live corpse", "hot ice", "honest thief", "eloquent silence", "optimistic tragedy", "end of eternity"), film names (Bright examples - "truthful lies", "Ordinary Miracle", "Old New Year", "Back to the Future", "Tomorrow was war"), in advertising slogans, verses.

Our brain stumbles with you about these expressions, it starts to process them, actively tries to imagine, awakens the right hemisphere responsible for creativity ... Literally two words excite the imagination, they begin to distort the imagination ... But this is exactly what the author of the book and the film director ( Yes, even the author of the advertising slogan and roller) - they need to awaken in you interest in their work.

I'm not talking about poets - similar speech figures give verses charm And make them unique.

Leading to the name of the work (or verses) of the oxymoron (two opposite and mutually exclusive concepts), they seek that both words lose their initial meaning, but in the end something new, unprecedented formed in the headSo, maleing and causing the desire to read this book, watch a movie, and poems read and read without end. Wonderful thing, isn't it?

The oxymoron is often used to create some drama - for example, "cruel kindness" or "deafening silence". No wonder they say that the brevity sister of talent. And then it turns out very briefly (only two words) and at the same time so emotion ... but set nearby, they often give the work of artistic brightnessFor they have a strong surprise effect and put in front of the reading their logical paradox, which each places for itself in its own way. And this is the whole charm ...

But not only here you can find examples. Look, one word that contradicts itself is tragicomedy. Or from the field of creativity: "Roman in verse." In general, they invent such phrases mostly creative people, therefore, and in their everyday life, they also settle down (for example, in painters, stylists and even culinary principle there is the principle of "combinations of incompatible", and this is nothing more than an oxymmer).

Advertisers also use oxomeron (smart nonsense, if you translate this word from Greek literally) also because this kind of phrase is very well remembered (literally enjoyed into consciousness). Yes, and not only to advertising it applies. You probably have heard the expression "dry water", which, in contrast to the official name of this chemical compound with a six-storey formula (fluorouplen), is easily laid in the head. Or "liquid nails" - bright and most importantly understandable.

Do you want more examples from the Great and Mighty Russian Language? A little below there will be a lot, but still a separate string to emphasize historical examplesThat, due to their literal perception, became peculiar dogmas, although in essence are representatives of the oxymoron family.

In a not very distant socialist past, we considered the expression "Public property", but, in fact, this phrase was composed of the concepts of concepts contradictory (public - it means indivisible, and property means separation, separation). Even from there, an example is "a certificate duty" (in relation to the service in the army) or a little later (in the dashing nineties) was in the use of the phrase "unpaid salary", although the word "fee" already means a perfect action. In general, examples mass.
