    There seems to be a lot of overlap between analogies, metaphors and similes. I'm not sure if it will help, but I like to differentiate between them by saying that similes and metaphors are used to describe, where as analogies are used to explain.

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  2 роки тому +1

      Ethos, pathos, and logos are rhetorical *_appeals_* . As mentioned in the video, rhetorical or literary *_devices_* are specific techniques used to enhance words so they are more interesting, engaging, and provide value to a message beyond the straightforward meaning of the words. The two areas we are discussing here are not typically discussed together, compared/contrasted, etc. They only thing they have in common is the word rhetoric.

    Is it a mistake to understand the repetition of "I have a dream", a phrase as ANAPHORA instead of parallelism?

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  2 роки тому

      A mistake? No. _Mistake_ is a strong word when discussing terms and real-life examples. There's so much room for overlap and interpretation. I can see how it might be fun to debate it but, in the end, I think it can be used as a fair example of both. I have a dream is very common example of Anaphora but its also an example of parallelism because the statements that follow each I have a dream lead-in are themselves very much crafted in parallel ways. But, the point of the video is not really about the labels themselves. I'm much more interested in speakers using these techniques to enhance our message.
