Many figures of speech are directly related to syntactical
features of grammar (or can best be understood in terms of language departing
from conventional grammar). Schemes of grammatical construction can be
divided into four general categories:
- disorder / transposition
(See Four Categories of Change: Transposition;
Figures of Order)
- defect / subtraction
(See Four Categories of Change: Substitution)
- surplus / addition
(See Four Categories of Change: Addition)
- exchange / substitution
(See Four Categories of Change: Substitution)
