Examples of rhetorical figures of speech "mimicry"

Parody is based on well-known words, idioms, proverbs, poems, official documents, etc. as the body, and uses different semantics as the body, and cleverly combines the two to create a comedy effect.

The imitation of text messages includes both word and sentence imitation and stylistic imitation.

1. Imitation of words and sentences, that is, creating new words and sentences based on existing words or imitating previous sentence patterns to express new content. Such as:

(1) Silent dedication. (Mosquito Repellent Repellent Advertisement)

(2) The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the hope for this year is too slim. The water is winding, the road is long, and the days without money are too long. The buildings are tall and people are busy, wanting to rob the bank.

(3) I will never regret it when my clothes become wider, often because of Ninghong slimming tea.

(4) No gifts will be given during the holidays this year, only 50 million for gifts: Be safe, be healthy, be happy, be content, and never forget me!

(5) Paper full of waste numbers, a handful of bitter tears. All the people are crazy, who can understand it?

(6) The wind is blowing, the stock market is cold, and the money is gone and will never be returned!

(7) I missed countless friends last night. After thinking about it, you are still the coolest. The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, you were lying deep in the pig pen, instigating, stirring up countless mosquitoes!

(1) It is a new word created by imitating the idiom "obscure" and using morphemes with the same sound to highlight the efficacy of mosquito-repellent incense.

(2) is modeled after the phrase "The sky is blue, the fields are vast, the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low". It vents the inner depression in humorous ridicule, which is very suitable for the busy life and study. , work is a kind of adjustment.

(3) It is modeled after "the clothes are getting wider and you will never regret it, and you will feel haggard because of the pain", highlighting the efficacy of slimming tea.

(4) is modeled after the advertising slogan "No gifts will be accepted during the holidays this year, only melatonin will be accepted for gifts." When it read 50 million, people were shocked and thought it was 50 million. Ten million yuan. As I read further, a warmth overflowed my whole body. It turned out to contain five "ten million" blessings. Among the many blessings, it appears to be extremely novel and unique, making it unforgettable.

(5) is imitated by "a paper full of absurd words and a handful of bitter tears. It is said that the author is crazy, who can understand the meaning?" Replace "waste number" with "ridiculous words" and "author" with "lottery player". The replacement is extremely appropriate, relevant and vivid.

(6) is imitated by "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!"

These two text messages (5) and (6) reveal the social reality that in real life many people have lost a lot of money or even gone bankrupt by buying lottery tickets and stock trading, but they still remain obsessed with it. The humorous ridicule emphasizes the bitterness and pain of the parties involved.

(7) is based on the tone of "Last night the west wind withered the green trees, I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world", and changed the tone of "The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but suddenly looked back, that person was in the dim light."

You know that you are being teased, but you also know that the person who sent you the text message does not mean any harm. I couldn't help but smile.

2. Stylistic imitation. Imitate ancient poems, weather forecasts, official document styles, etc. to create humorous text messages and deliver funny content. For example:

(8) There is nothing you can do to relieve your worries on weekdays, so send text messages to relieve your worries. Occasionally, a beautiful girl comes to tease me, lotto, lotto; the exchange of messages never ends, and at the end of the conversation, it turns out to be the old lady from far away, making me gag, gag.

(9) I missed you a little during the day, and then I missed you violently in the afternoon. The mood will thus drop by five degrees, and with this low mood, this type of weather is expected to continue until we see you.

(10) From tonight to tomorrow day, goose-feather blessings will appear on your mobile phone. Your mood will be mainly sunny. Affected by the atmosphere, laughter will sweep around you. It is expected that in the next 52 weeks The tailwind will continue to blow!

(11) Five prohibitions in the new law of the Ministry of Public Security: It is forbidden to pretend to be busy at work and ignore me! Forbidden to get rich and forget about me! Don't help me if I'm in trouble! Forbidden to eat without calling me! Don’t miss me during your free time! The requirements must be implemented.

(12) Dear user:

Hello! You are in arrears. Please sell shoes, hats, rice, smash pots, sell iron, sell yourself, and pay your mobile phone bill in the near future. Thank you for your cooperation!

Example (1) is modeled after Li Qingzhao's "Ru Meng Ling". "The girl came to tease you, lotto, lotto", "we talked to the end", but unexpectedly, "it turned out to be an old lady from far away, disgusting, disgusting", which made people laugh.

Examples (2) and (3) imitate weather forecast formats. Example (2) replaces "heavy to heavy rain" with "heavy to heavy rain" and "temperature" with "mood" , "cold wave" is replaced by "low mood", which is extremely appropriate and appropriate, emphasizing that I miss the person deeply and eager to see the person I miss. Example (4) imitates a notice from the Public Security Bureau. The form is solemn and serious, but the content is lively and lively because it is a true confession between friends.

Example (5) is created to imitate the notice style of network services, and the language is vivid and playful. This kind of stylistic imitation creates a strong contrast between the theme and the language style, which makes people laugh.

It can be seen that no matter what type of imitation it is, it is actually imitating the existing form with slight changes to express new content, turn familiarity into unfamiliarity, turn ordinary into novelty, and conform to people's needs. The psychology of seeking novelty and difference. In text messages, the appropriate use of simulation can produce the following effects:

1. Increase the humor and fun of the language. Please take a look at the following two slogans:

(13) Get rid of "spots" as soon as possible, and don't leave "acne". (a certain cosmetic)

(14) A smell will last for thousands of years, and the fragrance will spread for thousands of miles. (Bean curd)

Example (13) imitates idiomatic expressions and gently encourages people to use a certain product as soon as possible. Get rid of spots and acne as soon as possible, and there is a lot of humor in the words;

Example (14) is imitating the idiom "to be stinking for thousands of years", but it turns it into a compliment. One emphasizes that the product has a long history, and the other highlights the product. The quality is high and pure, especially the correspondence between "stinky" and "fragrant", which highlights the "notorious" reputation of fermented bean curd, the fragrance spreads thousands of miles, and is full of humor. Not only is the use appropriate, but it is also very expressive.

2. It has a satirical and mocking effect on negative things and bad phenomena. For example, Examples (5) and (6) humorously ridicule people's addiction to buying lottery tickets and stock trading, deepening people's concerns about this phenomenon. Another example is "There are new people coming out from generation to generation, each occupying the page for only a few days", which is modeled after "Each generation has talented people, and each has led the way for tens of thousands of years." It makes a sharp contrast between the emergence of corrupt officials and the emergence of talented people, and it is a bitter mockery. The bad phenomenon of certain cadres being "corrupted" before and then "succumbing to corruption", and the contrast between "each leading the way for tens of thousands of years" and "each occupying the page for only a few days" implicitly reveal that these corrupt elements will soon be eliminated by history. The consequences of abandonment have profound implications.

The imitation in text messages not only maintains the characteristics similar to the original format in form, but also gives new ideas in content. Imitation makes the language novel, vivid, humorous, and produces strong irony and humor.
