Talk:Meiosis (figure of speech)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Clean-Up Needed

This article could do with clean up. It doesn't cite sources, and it does thing like give an example and then have an example section. I can't find verification of this word meaning what the author of this page claims. Can anyone else? Goyston 14:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I added another source. The term is mostly used in description of rhetorical techniques, which is probably why you had difficulty finding it. Maria Caliban 04:22, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I found another too. I have fixed up the references section a bit, I think, and removed the tag. Hoorah! Can anyone check that I did indeed format the citation for the online dictionary correctly? Thanks!--Goyston 22:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "except that in auxesis, the goal is ironic effect"

Funny, of the four examples in the article on auxesis, none is ironic.Bgp2000 18:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed move

I think Meiosis (rhetoric) might be a more appropriate location for this article. 'Figure of speech' would apply well to examples of Meiosis, but not to the term itself. There are only a handful of incoming links, so it'll be an easy move. -- Vary | Talk 03:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
