AP english language and composition vocab

<p>Hey, thought it would be helpful to have a list of CRUCIAL vocab words - words that can be tricky but are almsot guranteed to appear in either the MC or the essay section. If you have any please post. thanks</p>

<p>I believe that there are lists incorporated within the review books.</p>

<p>I don’t think this would be a good use of your time. Just know basic things like metaphor, similie, allusion, and personification, and you should be good. Nothing is almost guaranteed to appear despite the big ones, and it wouldn’t really help to just memorize terms. What IS beneficial, however, is being able to recognize terms, analyze the rhetoric, and incorporate that into an essay.</p>

<p>There are around 30 or 40 literary devices I’d say you should have down, as well as whatever working vocab you need to get through passages. Being a latin student, all of the fun greek/latin devices are already down pat, so here are a couple my friends usually forget:</p>

<p>anaphora-(pronounced uh-nahh-fur-uh, although my teacher doesn’t know that.)
apostrophe
metonymy/synecdoche
asyndeton
assonance</p>
