25 Interminus Contradiction and Examples

Still remember about kinds of figure of speech contradiction? In the previous article, we have described it at lecturerBahasa.com. Several kinds of contradictory figure of speech are hyperbole, litotes, irony, paradox, antithetic, oxymoron, interminus contradiction and anachronism.

We have described some of these oppositional figures of speech in detail in several previous articles. To complete the previous discussion, this time we will also discuss in more detail the interminus contradiction figure of speech. Interminus contradiction is a figure of speech that expresses a denial of a statement that has been said before. Pay attention sentence following :

• "When Uncle came, he brought us all kinds of fruit from his village, except durian which failed to harvest."

(The sentence states 'all kinds of fruits', but in the final statement denies it, 'except durian which failed to harvest‘)

• All students are allowed to audition for a marching band major, except for those who wear glasses

(statement'except those who wear glasses' refutes the previous sentence, i.e. ‘all studentsa',)

For clarity, the following is an example of an interminus contradiction in a sentence.

• There are strict attendance laws in schools. No one is allowed to be absent from school except those who are sick and get letterfrom doctor.
