 Enumeration
Definition of Enumeration

Enumeration is a rhetorical device used for listing details, or a process of mentioning

words or phrases step by step. In fact, it is a type of amplification or division in which a
subject is further distributed into components or parts. Writers use enumeration to
elucidate a topic, to make it understandable for the readers. It also helps
avoid ambiguity in the minds of the readers.

Example #3: Elegy for Jane (by Theodore Roethke)

“I remember the neckcurls, limp and damp as tendrils;
And her quick look, a sidelong pickerel smile;
And how, once startled into talk, the light syllables leaped for her,
And she balanced in the delight of her thought … “
In the above lines, the speaker recalls how Jane – a dead student – looked. He gives
details by remembering her smile, her hair, and her beautiful spirit.

Hints Toward an Essay on Conversation (by Jonathan Swift)

“[A]mong such as deal in multitudes of words, none are comparable to the sober
deliberate talker, who proceedeth with much thought and caution, maketh his preface,
brancheth out into several digressions, findeth a hint that putteth him in mind of
another story, which he promiseth to tell you when this is done; cometh back regularly
to his subject, cannot readily call to mind some person’s name, holding his head,
complaineth of his memory; the whole company all this while in suspense; at length

says, it is no matter, and so goes on. And, to crown the business, it perhaps proveth at
last a story the company hath heard fifty times before; or, at best, some insipid
adventure of the relater.”
