Glossary of Literary and Rhetorical Terms
Alphabetical list of definitions. By Jack Lynch.
Glossary of Literary and Rhetorical Terms By Jack Lynch, Rutgers University Last revised 3 August 1999 Please note that this guide isn't yet ready for public viewing — I'm still working on putting it together, and there are gaps aplenty
I've often given only traditional definitions, although I try, when possible, to indicate that many of these terms (especially those relating to historical periods and canonicity) have come under fire
I give the names only because they're familiar, and may help readers of this guide hang unfamiliar terms on familiar names — and vice versa
I've tried from time to time to introduce a few American examples and to define terms specific to American literature, but I've not tried to extend my range any further: I stop at the borders of English-language literature
The writings on rhetoric and literary terms are vast
For starters: , A Handlist of Rhetorical Terms , 2nd ed

The result of each search, of either type, is a number of pages together with their descriptions containing the search terms
After a Volltextsuche , the lines containing instances of the search terms are marked with a right-pointing triangle in the left hand margin and the first instance on each manuscript page will be aligned with the top of the screen when you shift to that page; to find the next mark, and consequently the next hit on that page, use [Alt-M] or the mouse
You may link two or more search criteria and terms with 'und' (and), 'oder' (or) and 'nicht' (not)
'[Spc]' represents a space.) Adjacency searching [Ctrl-v] may be used to limit the distance between two search terms
Verweis denotes references to specific manuscripts; Musil's complicated reference coding system has been standardized to facilitate the use of meaningful search terms
After a search your Referenzliste will contain only those pages which contain the terms and match the criteria from your previous search, the others will have been deleted
In preparing this list we have tried to locate the terms in a standard computer dictionary or a general German-English dictionary
