ATLAS OF LANGUAGE

AT-HAR7-0014 · ATLAS 251

Hypotyposis

Vivid staging that makes an event appear immediately present.

Explanation

Readers become observers in an imagined spatial scene.

Example

The concepts detach themselves from the register, trace paths, and brightly find new neighbours.

Counterexample

The concepts are linked to one another.

Effect on thought and perception

Embodies abstract relations.

Resonance

What is described steps out of language into a navigable space of imagination.
