Antiptosis (original) (raw)
Antiptosis, which translates from the Greek ανταλλαγή (exchange of) and περίπτωση (case), is a rhetorical device. Specifically, it is a type of enallage (the substitution of grammatically different but semantically equivalent constructions) in which one grammatical case is substituted for another. In English, this technique is used only with pronouns, and is more effective with languages that use inflected nouns, such as Greek and Latin.
