";s:4:"text";s:7937:"<p>Understatement is used for comic relief or to downplay the severity of a situation. (Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address to the Nation, January 20, 1989), "I also scheduled a physical, since my readers deserve up-to-the-decade information. </p> <p>It is listed in conjunction with antenantiosis and meiosis, two other forms of rhetorical deminutio. For example, when one chances to meet someone after a long time it is usual to say: "Det var inte igår" ("It wasn't yesterday"). </p> <p>In this figure of speech, the usages are intentional, ironical and provide emphasis to the words. [7], The use of litotes is common in English, Russian, German, Dutch, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Ukrainian, Polish, Mandarin,  French, Czech and Slovak, and is also prevalent in a number of other languages and dialects. Definition, Examples of Figure of Speech. (Abigail Adams, letter to John Adams, May 7, 1776), "Oh, you think you're so special because you get to play Picture Pages up there? In rhetoric, litotes (/ˈlaɪtətiːz/,[1] US: /ˈlɪtətiːz/ or /laɪˈtoʊtiːz/; also known classically as antenantiosis or moderatour) is a figure of speech and form of verbal irony in which understatement is used to emphasize a point by stating a negative to further affirm a positive, often incorporating double negatives for effect. </p> <p>Litotes causes the listener to think and consider the statement. What Is the Figure of Speech Antiphrasis? What is understatement? Adjective: litotic. Two negatives are used to express the contrary: That it is actually common for this to occur. </p> <p>What is double negative? Another typical example is "Ce n'est pas bête!" ("Not so bad") as a form of compliment. Douglass likely utilizes litotes to emphasize that this behavior was common. In speech, it may also depend on intonation and emphasis; for example, the phrase "not bad" ca… Though often used to convey positive thoughts, it can be used for negative thoughts as well. In Acts 12:18, for instance, Luke says there was “no small commotion” among the soldiers over Peter’s absence from prison. "'Not a bad day's work on the whole,' he muttered, as he quietly took off his mask, and his pale, fox-like eyes glittered in the red glow of the fire. In Welsh, "Siomi ar yr ochr orau" ("To be disappointed on the best side") means "to be pleasantly surprised. Some common words are derived from litotes: "nonnulli" from "non nulli" ("not none") is understood to mean "several", while "nonnumquam" from "non numquam" ("not never") is used for "sometimes". </p> <p>(Baroness Emmuska Orczy, "Now we have a refuge to go to. In French, "pas mal" (not bad) is used similarly to the English, while "il n'est pas antipathique" ("he is not disagreeable") is another example, actually meaning "il est très sympathique" ("he is nice"), though you don't want to admit it. Litotes is a way to state the affirmative without actually stating the affirmative. Home » The Writer’s Dictionary » What is Litotes? A refuge that the Cylons know nothing about! </p> <p>(Jonathan Swift. 'He didn't set the world on fire' conveys exactly the opposite impression: that his efforts didn't heat up Earth one degree, thank goodness" (​Word Hero, 2011). </p> <p>[2][3][4] Litotes is a form of understatement, more specifically meiosis, and is always deliberate with the intention of emphasis. </p> <p>Litotes is a figure of speech. </p> <p>(silpae-ra haji anhal su eopda) literally means "It’s impossible to not call it a failure.". Litotes is confusing because the meaning is not what it seems. (As with all litotes, this phrase can also be used with its literal meaning that the thing is not stupid but rather may be clever or occupy the middle ground between stupid and clever.).
