An anacoluthon is a sentence or clause which is grammatically inconsistent, especially with respect to the type of clausal or phrasal complement for the initial clause.

An anacolouthon is another term for an anacoluthon - a break in a sequence which occurs when the scheme of a sentence is changed in its course.

An "anacoluthon" is a shift in grammar that is unexpected in a sentence. The term itself is a Greek word meaning "not following." Considered a stylistic error, it appears frequently in common speech as well as writing. In writing, it is sometimes signified by a long dash in a sentence. A famous example comes from Shakespeare's King Lear: "I will have such revenges on you both,That all the world shall--I will do such things,What they are, yet I know not."

antithesis is figure of speech in which one or idea is set against another in a strong contrast. It is the exact opposite of something.

For example:

1. Money is the root of all evils: poverty is the fruit of all goodness

2. The strong master gives his judgment and goes home; the weak servant collects his key and goes to jail
