Chapter Two   Literature Review 

Transferred epithet, as a figure of speech, has drawn worldwide attention of rhetoricians and  linguists  for  many  years  because  of  its  great  significance  in  communication.  And  great achievements  have  been  achieved,  which  will  lay  a  solid  foundation  for  the  studies  of  the coming researchers. In this chapter, the author will show a general review of the researches of transferred epithet from the following several aspects: definition, classification, and previous studies from different perspectives. 

2.1 Definitions of Transferred Epithet 
“Transferred epithet”, as one of the most effective and specific figures of speech, derives from  Greek  word  “hypallassein”,  which  means  “an  exchange,  interchange”.  Chen  Wangdao (2001)  is  the  first  person  who  puts  forward  this  term  of  rhetorical  device  in  the  Origin  of Rhetoric,  which  is  considered  as  the  first  fundamental  rhetorical  literature  in  modern  China. In Chinese rhetorical history, Tang Yue (1923) is the first person to discuss this phenomenon in his book Figure of Speech, but in that book the term “yijiu” is named “qiandege”. Because scholars either in western countries or China have different cognitive points of view, so there exist many different definitions.

Some people think transferred epithet includes empathy and transferring color. In fact, all things in the world are multifaceted. All things in the world can be analyzed from different dimensions and perspectives, therefore, they all have different  categories.  For  transfe本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
