Adianoeta
Techniques > Use of language > Figures of speech > Adianoeta Method | Example | Discussion | See also
DescriptionAdianoeta occurs where a word or phrase is used with a clear meaning, yet a second, more subtle, meaning also exists. Example'That play was rubbish!' I go with your heart. DiscussionThis is a subtle and clever way of playing with words and meaning. Adianoeta may be used in insults, where the obvious meaning is harmless, yet the second meaning (which may be denied) is insulting. The multiple meanings possible also makes it popular with poets.
