All visual and expressive means are divided into:
- lexical (special: tropes, non-special: synonyms, antonyms, etc.)
- syntactic (stylistic figures of speech);
- phonetic.
Lexical figurative and expressive means of language - tropes - are words and expressions used in a figurative sense in order to create an emotional image when describing a phenomenon. Paths make it possible not only to understand, but also to feel what is described or said in words.
Syntactic figurative and expressive means - figures of speech - are a special construction of words to enhance the emotional impact of the text. Figures of speech make you feel more strongly those moments on which the author emphasizes.
In turn, tropes and figures of speech have their own classification:
Basic elements - paths
So, below we list the main elements of lexical figurative and expressive means - tropes.
An epithet is an artistic and figurative description of a phenomenon: stately aspens, mighty oak, languid light.
A metaphor is a hidden comparison: an airplane wing, a crescent moon, a sunset fire.
Metonymy is the renaming of an object or phenomenon based on close, easily understood connections between the words being replaced. For example, the forest sings (instead of “the birds in the forest sing”); the city is sleeping (instead of “the inhabitants of the city are sleeping”); the kettle is boiling (instead of “the water in the kettle is boiling”).
Synecdoche is the name of a whole through its part and vice versa. For example, save a penny (money); the viewer(s) are worried.
Hyperbole is an artistic exaggeration: an ocean of love; endless plain; not seeing each other for a hundred years.

They ate up to 200 varieties that enrich the language.
Means of expressive speech are divided according to language level into:
- phonetic;
- lexical;
- syntactic.
The use of phonetics is traditional for poetry. Musical sounds often predominate in a poem, giving poetic speech a special melodiousness. In the drawing of a verse, stress, rhythm and rhyme, and combinations of sounds are used for emphasis.
Types of means of expression
Anaphora is the repetition of sounds, words or phrases at the beginning of sentences, poetic lines or stanzas. “The golden stars dozed off...” - repetition of the initial sounds, Yesenin used phonetic anaphora.
And here is an example of lexical anaphora in Pushkin’s poems:
Alone you rush across the clear azure, Alone you cast a dull shadow, Alone you sadden the jubilant day.
Epiphora is a similar technique, but is much less common, in which words or phrases are repeated at the end of lines or sentences.
The use of lexical devices associated with a word, lexeme, as well as phrases and sentences, syntax, is considered as a tradition of literary creativity, although it is also widely found in poetry.
Conventionally, all means of expressiveness of the Russian language can be divided into tropes and stylistic figures.
Trails
Tropes are the use of words and phrases in a figurative sense. Paths make speech more figurative, enliven and enrich it. Some tropes and their examples in literary work are listed below.
Epithet is an artistic definition. Using it, the author gives the word additional emotional overtones and his own assessment. To understand how an epithet differs from an ordinary definition, you need to understand when reading whether the definition gives a new connotation to the word? Here's a simple test. Compare: late autumn - golden autumn, early spring - young spring, quiet breeze - gentle breeze.
Personification is the transfer of signs of living beings to inanimate objects, nature: “The gloomy rocks looked sternly...”.
Comparison is a direct comparison of one object or phenomenon with another. “The night is gloomy, like a beast...” (Tyutchev).
Metaphor is the transfer of the meaning of one word, object, phenomenon to another. Identifying similarities, implicit comparison.
“There is a red rowan fire burning in the garden...” (Yesenin). The rowan brushes remind the poet of the flame of a fire.
Metonymy is renaming. Transferring a property or meaning from one object to another according to the principle of contiguity. “The one in felt, let’s argue” (Vysotsky). In felt (material) - in a felt hat.
Synecdoche is a type of metonymy. Transferring the meaning of one word to another based on a quantitative connection: singular - plural, part - whole. “We all look at Napoleons” (Pushkin).

Synonyms for these words outside the text:
Kind - warm-hearted, sincere, compassionate, humane, etc.
Soft - plump, plastic, elastic, fluffy.
Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings (reject - approve, original - fake, callous - responsive).
Contextual antonyms are words that are antonyms only in a given context. The contrast of such words is a purely individual author’s decision.
For example: one day is a whole life, wolves are sheep, a poet is a poet.
Homonyms are words that are spelled the same, but have completely different meanings (a maiden’s braid and a scythe as an agricultural tool).
Paronyms are words that are similar in spelling and sound, but have different meanings (great - majestic, spectacular - effective).

Types of words by origin
Outdated vocabulary (archaisms ) are outdated words that came out of constant speech, as over time they were replaced by other words (eyes, eyes, cheeks, cheeks).
Historicisms are obsolete words that have fallen out of use due to the disappearance of the phenomena that they denoted. These words can be used to describe a historical era (chain mail, boots).
Neologisms are new words that have recently appeared in the language and have not lost their novelty. Over time, these words become part of the group of commonly used words. So, quite recently, neologisms were the words: computer, tablet, mobile phone, smartphone, but today they are already moving into the category of commonly used words.
Original Russian words - words that arose in ancient times among the Eastern Slavs, Old Church Slavonicisms (sweet, enemy, know)
Borrowed words (foreign words) - by origin, these words are borrowed from other languages. This often happens during a period of economic, cultural communication, interconnections between countries and peoples. (For example, hyperbole is a word of Greek origin, modernization is of French origin).
Barbarisms are foreign words that have entered Russian speech, but are always perceived as foreign. They are often used to describe foreign life, etiquette, etc. (For example: monsieur, boyfriend, businesswoman).
