Antithesis
Antithesis is a stylistic pair figure in the text used for expressive-visual, humorous, ironic, evaluative and other purposes. The antithesis is almost
always based on the parallelism of syntactic constructions [Ruzibaeva, 149].
Antithesis is the rhetorical contrast of ideas with the use of parallel arrangements of words, clauses, or sentences (as in "action, not words" or "they promised freedom and provided slavery") [2].
Antithesis is the placing of a sentence or one of its parts against another to which it is opposed to form a balanced contrast of ideas, as in “Give me liberty or give me death.” [3].
Antithesis, (from Greek antitheton, “opposition”), is a figure of speech in which incompatible opposites or firmly contrasting ideas are placed in sharp juxtaposition and sustained tension [4].
