a phonetic pun is made Explanation: Duden, Paronomasie = Wortspiel durch zusammenstellen lautlich gleicher oder ähnlicher Wörter (von gleicher Herkunft). Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetics, paronomasia, see pun. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-30 14:44:50 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Examples: He published a series of intimate letters to Esther Johnson which he titled Journal to Stella, a phonetic pun on Esther\'s name. Later he published a poem detailing his love affair with Esther Vanhomrigh which he titled Cadenus and Vanessa identifying himself and his lover by word-play on their respective names. / The name Art-Bit derives from a phonetic pun of the word \"Heart-Beat\", as a metaphor of our emotions and energy. |

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1phonetic play on words Explanation: "tn The verb has no expressed subject, and so here too is made passive. The name "Hormah" is etymologically connected to the verb "utterly destroy," forming the popular etymology (or paronomasia, a phonetic word play capturing the significance of the event)." There are quite a few links discussing paronomasia (play upon words) to Bible interpretations. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-30 15:31:34 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Bible is rich in its use of various literary devices (such as phonetic play on the word \'Nazareth\' in messianic prophecy, anagrams of the divine name hidden in Esther the book that does not mention God, alphabetic sequences in Psalm 119, etc.) which give evidence of the inspiration of its sacred text, beyond the simple meaning of words, to even their grammar and spelling in the original http://users.iafrica.com/l/ll/lloyd/5-SpecialStudies/codes.h... |
