Added DiffLines:
Language in media usually is ornate, and RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic. These notes are covering the ways that text can be constructed artistically, without needing to have SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.
These ''ways'' are also called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_speech "figures of speech"]], but we're not going to use that term because it could be confused as a synonym for "something to not take literally".
Methods to produce ornamentation in text involve features of words that aren't just their individual meaning, such as their relation to other words nearby, whether they repeat in a phrase, or the letters, or sounds, they start or end with, for example. Even DoubleMeaning is a way that phrasing is used rhetorically.
Technically, ConstrainedWriting is the same concept but generalized into whole works instead of just a single / few phrases, and without a rhetorical point to convey. A.k.a, whenever you deviate from "normal" speech, you're getting close to a manner of rhetorical phrasing, you just need an idea to convey to really make it.
Ideas that the writer might try to convey with these ways of phrasing can be categorized quite broadly, such as intensification of a subject, or drawing the audience's focus towards a subject.
While these notes are preoccupied with English / alphabetical writing systems, logographical systems such as Chinese can do similar things with similar features, like having multiple characters with the same radical, is similar to alliteration.
The repetition that makes the RepeatIndexIndex's tropes, are one way to be rhetorical, such as with:
* {{Anadiplosis}}
* {{Anaphora}}
* {{Epiphora}}
* {{Mesodiplosis}}
In any case, some other patterns that we have noticed are:

[[folder:Rhetorical patterns without formal names]]
* Juxtaposed Linked Phrases: Contrasting consecutive phrases of text that also relate to each other, such as in these trope names that contrast a small something and a big something else, and juxtaposition in phrasing is a good way to summarize / trope-name juxtapositions in general:
