hyperbaton. Rather than transposing
multiple words and phrases, it only
changes the position of a single word.

of words in a sentence for emphasis
or to make your reader think a little

Why do you think a poet
uses this type of figures of
transposition in poetry?
In poetry, a poet may use this type
of figures of speech in order to
make sure the word needed for the
rhyme comes at the end of the line.
Why do you think a writer
uses this type of figures of
speech in prose?
 In prose, writers may use this type of
speech when they want a particular line to
stand out. Since the words are out-of-
order, they will stick in the readers' minds
more easily.
