Figures of interruption

Figures describing various sorts of interruption are generally grammatical in character (see Figures of Grammar), as they disrupt normal grammatical arrangement for effect. As such, they are closely tied to the Figures of Order. Some of the figures of interruption are also aimed at disrupting the emotional flow of discourse (such as aposiopesis). The Latin figure interruptio is a synonym for aposiopesis, and does not embrace the varieties of interruption named by the following figures, and you can find details of all of these techniques by either clicking on the links below, or clicking on the dark blue "Figures of interruption" tag above.
