Hendiadys

The Hendiadyoin [ ˌ hɛn ˌ dia ˌ dy'ɔʏn ] (Greek ἓν διὰ δυοῖν hen dia dyoin " one by two ", rarely Hendiadys ) referred to in rhetoric and linguistics, a style figure, a complex concept in two by the conjunction and related but semantically ungleichrangige expressions which are linked rather attributive describes. If three words ( lexemes ) are used instead of two, one speaks of a Hendiatris. Consequently, one uses the term Hendiatetris or Hendiatetrakis when an expression consists of four words.

Description

The Hendiadyoin is often a fixed expression, ie a so-called twin formula. It is in some cases one of the two words alone today disuse ( semantically obscured ): ( frank [ and free ], rank [ and slender ], clip [ and clear ] ). In contrast to the tautology Hendiadyoin form the two parts of words together until the actual meaning of the expression ( for example, " possessions " for " possession "). In the tautology, however, the two parts of words have the same meaning already taken alone as the entire expression that only a rhetorical amplification function as a whole fulfills the rule ( for example, "way ").

Hendiadyoine come in different forms:

• As phraseological connecting two synonyms ( special case of synonymy, definition of tautology often difficult ), as in " land ," " never, ever ";
• As phraseological connection of two similar terms, which together denote a common ( new ) term ( for example, "Fire and Flame" )
• As beiordnende connecting two nouns, which together denote a single object ( such as " house and home " ) wherein one can be logically subordinate to the other ( ie "from the plates and silverware to eat " instead of " eat from silver plates ").

Even in the legal language take hendiadyoinische pair formulas often together two closely related, but at least historically or formally distinguishable concepts to a topos.

Striking are alliterative Hendiadyoine where ( sound) start the pair of words with the same grapheme (letters) or phoneme.

The expression is in German but fairly uncommon, this is referred to as a rule generally of a triplet formula ( Examples of hendiatrionische Drilling formula would be " wine, women and song ", " secretly, quietly ," " Cheers, bustle, cheerfulness ," " bad luck and mishaps ," " peace, joy and pancakes ").

" Hendiatetris ", " Hendiatetrakis "

The special case of a fixed formula of four language elements is in the Romance linguistics as Hendiatetris [ ˌ hɛn ˌ dia'tɛ ˌ tris ] or Hendiatetrakis [ ˌ hɛn ˌ dia ˌ tɛ'tra ˌ ki ] denotes (Greek ἓν διὰ τετράκις hen dia tetrakis " one through four times ").
