zeugmaPage 1 of 1zeugmaGk. "a yoking"adnexio, iunctiosingle supplyzyoog'-maA general term describing when one part of speech (most often the mainverb, but sometimes a noun) governs two or more other parts of a sentence(often in a series). Zeugma comprises several more specialized terms, all ofwhich employ ellipsis and parallelism (among the governed members of thesentence).Zeugma figures are of two types: those in which the governing word is themain verb (in which case these are subsequently categorized according to theposition of that governing verb), and those in which the governing word isanother part of speech (usually the subject noun).Zeugma figures: Position of Governing Verb:llllprozeugma (beginning position)hypozeugma (ending position)epizeugma (beginning or ending position)mesozeugma or synzeugma (middle position)Zeugma figures: Governing Noun:lldiazeugmaA single subject governs several verbs or verbal constructionshypozeuxisEvery clause (in a series of parallel clauses) has its own (different) verbZeugma is sometimes used simply as a synonym for syllepsis, though this termis better understood as a more specific kind of zeugma: when there is disparityin the way that the parallel members relate to the governing word (as a vice orfor comic effect).Sources: Ad Herennium 4.27.37-38 ("disiunctio"; "coniunctio"; "adiunctio"); Isidore 1.36.3; Sherry (1550) 29 ("zeugma,""iunctio"); Peacham (1577) E4v, K2v; Putt.

syllepsisPage 1 of 2syllepsissil-lep'-sisfrom Gk. syn, "together" and lepsis, "taking"Also sp. sillepsis, silepsis, syllempsisconceptio, concepciodouble supply, change in concordWhen a single word that governs or modifies two or more othersmust be understood differently with respect to each of those words.This combination of parallelism and incongruity often has a witty orcomical effect. Not to be confused with zeugma.Originally, syllepsis named that grammatical incongruity resulting when a wordgoverning two or more others could not agree with both or all of them; forexample, when a singular verb serves as the predicate to two subjects, singularand plural ("His boat and his riches is sinking"). In the rhetorical sense,syllepsis has more to do with applying the same single word to the others itgoverns in distinct senses (e.g., literal and metaphorical); thus, "His boat andhis dreams sank."ExamplesIn the following example, "rend" governs both objects, but the firstrending is figurative; the second, literal:Rend your heart, and not your garments. Joel 2:13You held your breath and the door for me--Alanis MorissetteRelated FiguresllzeugmaellipsisSyllepsis is a form of ellipsis, and like ellipsis the sense of the word isrepeated, but not the word itself. The difference from ellipsis is that thesense varies in its repetition.Related Topics of InventionlDivisionSources: Isidore 1.36.5-6; Sherry (1550) 30 ("silepsis," "concepcio"); Peacham (1577) F1r; Putt.
