The position of One word changed so as to be set over against the Other<\/p>\n
A-nas-tro-phee. Greek, , from (ana), back again, and (strephein), to turn, a turning back.<\/p>\n
The figure is so-called because one word is turned, or turned back out of its proper or usual position in a sentence.<\/p>\n
Hence it is a kind of Hyperbaton; but affecting only one word, instead of several words, in a sentence.<\/p>\n
It is called also PARALLAGE, Par-al-la-gee. Greek, , from (parallasso), to make things alternate. Hence Parallage means a deviation, a turning aside, variation. And SYNCATEGOREMA, syn-cat-ee-gor-ee-ma, from (syn), together with, and , an arraignment. Hence the figure is so called because one word is set over against or arraigned against another. Reversal would be a good English name for this figure.<\/p>\n
The Latins called it TRAJECTIO: i.e., a crossing over, a transposition or trajection of words. And INVERSIO, a turning about, an inversion of words.<\/p>\n
The word thus put out of its usual place receives great emphasis.<\/p>\n
We have many examples in English:-<\/p>\n
The Verb before its Noun.<\/p>\n
Burns Marmions swarthy cheek like fire.-Scott.<\/p>\n
Adjective after its Noun.<\/p>\n
He ceased; and death involved him dark around.-Cowper.<\/p>\n
Objective before the Verb.<\/p>\n
Me didst thou constitute a priest of thine.-Wordsworth.<\/p>\n
Preposition before the Participle.<\/p>\n
Into what pit thou seest, from what height fallen.-Milton.<\/p>\n
Preposition after the Noun.<\/p>\n
It only stands our lives upon, to use<\/p>\n
Our strongest hands.-Shakespeare.<\/p>\n
Noun at end of sentence.<\/p>\n
Ape-born, not God-born, is what the atheists say of-man.<\/p>\n
Deu 22:1.-Thou shalt not see thy brothers ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them.<\/p>\n
Here, the negative is put with see instead of with hide, in order to emphasize the command, which would otherwise tamely read:-If thou shalt see thou shalt not hide, etc. See under Metonymy.<\/p>\n
Mic 6:10.-Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked? In the Hebrew, the verse begins with the adverb: Still are there in the house of the wicked man treasures of wickedness?<\/p>\n
Act 7:48.-In the English, the negative is joined with the verb, with which it is to be read: but in the Greek, the negative is put at the beginning of the clause, and the verb at the end, which greatly intensifies the force of the word not.<\/p>\n
But not the Most High in hand-made temples dwelleth.<\/p>\n
