Az érvelés és a stílus humora Gárdonyi regényeiben II.

Abstract

The first part of this study provides the analysis of Géza Gárdonyi’s works from a rhetorical perspective. The second part is the analysis of Gárdonyi’s characteristic style and witty word usage. It introduces Gárdonyi’s unique words, diminutives, humorous folk etymologies, naming, and the use of foreign words and participles. It also provides examples of how the spelling in the text and the copying of the speech manner becomes the source of his particular style. The study gives various examples of figures of speech and tropes. Examples of topic description, similes, questions, exclamation, repetition, synecdoche, and metaphor might be useful in teaching, too. The study proves the uniqueness and power in Géza Gárdonyi’s style in an expressive and convincing way.
