If anyone thinks they might need this:
25 Language Devices: Defined & Explained!
1. Pathetic Fallacy
Is when the weather or the atmosphere describes the mood.
For example, when the weather is rainy people are sad and depressed
2nd example, the dark night could symbolise something supernatural like 3AM Satan etc…
2. Personification
Is when a non-human is given human qualities.
For example, the tree is waving to John as drives away.
3. Simile
When you are comparing two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’
For example, his facial vision looked like a falcon’s eye
4. Metaphor
Is when you are comparing two things with is or are
Example He is an orc
5. Extended Metaphor
Pick a metaphor and explain how --- > turn in to an extended metaphor
Metaphor --- > Life is a rollercoaster. Now turning into extended metaphor add explanation so, Life is a rollercoaster you don’t know when you will be at the top or at the bottom, it will all happen in an instance, at the greatest heights you will be at the greatest heights and at times it will crash, but every day is never the same, just like in a turn in a Rolle coaster is never the same.
6. Oxymoron
2 opposite words side-by-side
Example, the small giant
7. Juxtaposition
You explain an oxymoron.
The small giant tip-toing trying to reach the top shelf, however, his small arms and puny fingers prevented him from grabbing the bar of jam.
8. Symbolism
Is when objects represent a meaning.
For example, moon and the star represent Islam.
2nd Example, if you get a priest you will think someone died.
In Macbeth the dagger links to death.
9. Semantic field
Is where words are linked to an idea.
For example, PPE, 2m and Hand Sanitiser, Head of Year link to COVID.
10. Irony
Is when events in the text surprises the characters. Something not expected!
Mr Birling offering a 1000.
Scrooge changing his nature.
11. Rhetorical Question
Question does not require an answer
12. Hyperbole
Is when you hype, when over-exaggerating.
I am going to eat the whole restaurant.
13. Assonance
Is the repetition of the vowel sound.
I am too cool for school.
14. Alliteration
Words in a row begin with the same letter.
15. Sibilance
Is when words in a row have the s letter or the s sound
Example: the snake was slowly hissing
16. Euphemism
Is when you say something in an indirect manner.
He is not with us anymore.
17. Emotive Language
Is when the writer makes the reader feel emotional. By making them angry.
18. Onomatopoeia
Words describe the sound
Boom bang skirr pop
19. Ruel of 3 / Power of 3 / Triplets
Words or phrases in a row describe something (3)
The table is black, hard and wide
20. Facts/ Stats
Uses evidence to support their facts.
50 % of the students prefer using email rather than social media .
21. Plosive
Reptation of harsh sound
Words such as 'P' 'D' 'B'
22. Zoomorphism
Is when you give a person animal features.
Example John barked at me / John shouted at me.

Basically:
Do 2 paragraphs, one on a successful method the writer has implemented (similes or metaphors) and the other on another such as lexis or semantic fields. Be sure to include a lot of connotations (like what the method suggests) and develop them. Make your paragraphs short and efficient (they get the specific point across).

Mr Bruff's videos have changed so much, in regards to aesthetics. They look more professional and honestly it shows how far he's come... I kinda feel proud.

Why do I feel like this question revolves around waffle?

1) You work out the effect the writer is trying to convey.

2) You identify language features or striking phrases that convey this effect.

3) You describe the effect further by waffling for about three sentences. (THIS!)

4) You might finish with a clever point to impress the examiner, such as "perhaps the writer does this to further emphasise Brightley's desire to live somewhere more appealing and idyllic than his current home." (Eventhough no language analysis is even needed for the question)

If I pass my English exams, it will only be because of you. Keep up the good work!

Remember to embed quotes. It makes your answer sound more sophisticated, especially if you use the writers actual name instead of ‘the writer’. (I’m not sure if the writers name is shown for every extract)

May I just thank you for your excellent informative and wise videos. I am an elderly (ex Primary Head) attempting to help my granddaughter who is hoping to gain a level 4 in GCSE English this year (2024). After much searching (many fruitless, cumbersome and confusing sitesI) finally we have found supportive informative that explains the system, content and requirements in a helpful manner, many thanks.
