QUÉ SIGNIFICA NOT BAD EN INGLÉS

Litotes

Litotes

En la retórica, litotes es una figura de la palabra en la que la subestimación se emplea para el efecto retórico, principalmente a través de doble negativos. Por ejemplo, en lugar de decir que algo es atractivo, uno podría simplemente decir que no es "poco atractivo". Litotes es una forma de eufemismo, siempre deliberada y con la intención de enfatizar. Sin embargo, la interpretación de la negación puede depender del contexto, incluido el contexto cultural. En el habla, también puede depender de la entonación y el énfasis; Por ejemplo, la frase "no malo" puede decirse de una manera que signifique algo desde "mediocre" a "excelente". Se puede utilizar para suavizar las expresiones más duras, similar al eufemismo. El uso de litotes es común en inglés, ruso, alemán, holandés, hebreo, arameo, griego y francés. Son rasgos de la vieja poesía inglesa y de las sagas islandesas y son un medio de mucha retención estoica. La palabra litotes se deriva de la palabra griega litos que significa "llanura, pequeña o escasa". George Orwell se quejó sobre el uso excesivo de la construcción 'not un ...' en su ensayo "Politics and the English Language".

In rhetoric, litotes is a figure of speech in which understatement is employed for rhetoric effect, principally via double negatives. For example, rather than saying that something is attractive, one might merely say it is "not unattractive". Litotes is a form of understatement, always deliberate and with the intention of emphasis. However, the interpretation of negation may depend on context, including cultural context. In speech, it may also depend on intonation and emphasis; for example, the phrase "not bad" can be said in such a way as to mean anything from "mediocre" to "excellent". It can be used to soften harsher expressions, similar to euphemism. The use of litotes is common in English, Russian, German, Dutch, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and French. They are features of Old English poetry and of the Icelandic sagas and are a means of much stoical restraint. The word litotes is derived from the Greek word litos meaning "plain, small or meager". George Orwell complained about overuse of the 'not un...' construction in his essay "Politics and the English Language".
