Week 4 Vocab Pun: A pun twists the mean of words, often to create humorous effect. Puns have been frequently called “the lowest form of humor.” Still, even Shakespeare used puns. For instance, Romeo and Juliet includes a famous pun uttered by Mercutio as he is dying: “Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man.” (3.1.97-98) Onomatopoeia: Words that sound like what they mean. For example: Buzz; Click; Rattle; Clatter; Squish; Snap, Crackle; Pop; Grunt Tone: the general character or attitude of a place, piece of writing, situation, etc. See Ms. Scafone’s link on 200 words to describe tone. Diction: Is the way you talk, that is, the way you enunciate or pronounce you words, and the words and phrases you choose to use. Ex: Different parts of one country will have a different diction, even though they speak the same language. Aphorism: A pithy observation that contains a general truth. Such as, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
