Studies stylistic devices in English aphorisms, highlighting their artistic impact and significance.
This paper studies the main stylistic devices used in English aphorisms, since these devices are the principal source of the genre's beauty, expressiveness, and memorability. Although aphorisms consist of only a few words, they produce a strong artistic effect, and this effect is achieved through the careful use of figures of speech such as antithesis, parallelism, paradox, metaphor, chiasmus, and hyperbole.
