Inauthenticity (literary studies)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inauthenticity is a way of speaking in which a linguistic object means something other than what the wording says.

The term comes from rhetoric (improprietas). It is to be distinguished from indirectness and the counter-concept to authenticity / literality .

In the area of ​​literary inauthenticity, Rüdiger Zymner distinguishes between three sub-areas: the textual micro-area of ​​the tropics, e.g. metaphor , irony , metonymy , synecdoche , etc., the textual middle area of ​​partial inauthenticity (e.g. in metaphor complexes with the same or different images or also in allegorical ones Text passages) and the textual macro area of ​​the inauthenticity of full texts (such as the parabola and some forms of the fable ).
