Art/Literary | | French term or phrase: anantapodoton | | Linguistic term, I am looking for its DEFINITION. |
| | | anantapodoton | Explanation:
Marc, anantapodoton refers to that only half of a sentence exists, when the sentence should normally have two parts. For example:"Not only did I eat the ice-cream." (the second part "but also...." is missing).
Here's the definition from the Forest of Rhetoric (they give the definition of anapodoton, saying that if the expression trails off, leaving the subordinate clause incomplete, this is sometimes more specifically called "anantapodoton."
[Anapodoton literally means "without the main clause (or apodosis)." However, it is best understood as a figure in which a main clause is suggested by the introduction of a subordinate clause, but that main clause never occurs (this makes anapodoton a kind of anacoluthon, since grammatical expectations are interrupted). If the expression trails off, leaving the subordinate clause incomplete, this is sometimes more specifically called anantapodoton. Anapodoton has also named what occurs when a main clause is omitted because the speaker interrupts himself/herself to revise the thought, leaving the initial clause grammatically unresolved but making use of it nonetheless by recasting its content into a new, grammatically complete sentence.
Example
"If you think I'm going to sit here and take your insults..." ]

Explanation:
This is not a linguistic but a rhetorical term. Anantapodoton is a type of
anapodoton: "literally ... 'without the main clause (or apodosis).' However, it is best understood as a figure in which a main clause is suggested by the introduction of a subordinate clause, but that main clause never occurs (this makes anapodoton a kind of anacoluthon, since grammatical expectations are interrupted). If the expression trails off, leaving the subordinate clause incomplete, this is sometimes more specifically called anantapodoton. Anapodoton has also named what occurs when a main clause is omitted because the speaker interrupts himself/herself to revise the thought, leaving the initial clause grammatically unresolved but making use of it nonetheless by recasting its content into a new, grammatically complete sentence.
Examples
"If you think I'm going to sit here and take your insults..."
"When you decide to promote me to manager, -- when you see more clearly what will benefit this corporation, I will be at your service."
