He Hyperbaton Is a rhetorical figure that consists of altering the natural position of the elements of a sentence in order to highlight a certain part of the discourse.
Usually used in poetry for reasons of metrics and rhythm. It should be noted that this figure is also used in popular language. For example: did you know...? Instead of did you know that...?
Traditionally four types of hyperbaton are distinguished: thesis, parenthesis, anastrophe and hysterology. The thesis is given when a word is inserted between the elements of a sentence; This word can be between commas (,), between dashes (-) or between parentheses.
The parenthesis, on the other hand, occurs when a phrase is inserted in the main sentence and the phrase has a different intonation from that of the sentence; It may be an exclamation or an interrogation.
Anastrophe occurs when the preposition precedes the verb that governs it. Finally, hysterology occurs when the constituents of the sentence are altered: subject and predicate.
