[edit]I don't know how to do the template thing, but this should be merged with merismus, which appears to be the same thing. Widsith 15:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
I would advise to keep the briefer explanation of merism at this alphabetical location -- someone seeking "merism" would probably not know to look up "merismus." JPickett
I'm unclear on the relationship between http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendiadys and Merism. Are they synonyms, one a subset of the other, or distinct? --Wcoole (talk) 21:14, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- They are very much distinct. A hendiadys is the breaking up of a composite expression into its two parts. Nikolaj1905 (talk) 09:16, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Even though neither of these authors uses the "pretext" language in this article, the "citation needed" in the last paragraph could be met by:
Peter Tiersma, Legal Language (University of Chicago Press, 1999). summarized at http://www.languageandlaw.org/LEGALLANG.HTM
which was cited with approval in Deborah Cao, Translating Law (Multilingual Matters, Ltd, 2007) at page 89
