#Prolepsis
Vivimos en una prolepsis constante que pasa por encima de estaciones enteras como una apisonadora y encaja en el presente fechas venideras con semanas o meses de antelación. Ahora le toca a Halloween.

"Ik ben geen specialist, maar..." in de linguïstiek en psychologie wordt dit een disclaimer of een prolepsis genoemd: je anticipeert op een mogelijke tegenreactie om die direct te ontkrachten. Maar.. als je geen specialist bent, dan verkondig je beter geen idiote meningen.

I know what you're thinking: you can't just start with a prolepsis, can you? And I'm here to tell you, you can.

There’s a name for it: prolepsis. A small flash-forward that tells the reader something is coming, without saying what. “It was the last morning the house stood,” and suddenly an ordinary scene aches. Promise the future once, then let the quiet do the work.

Cicero, De Oratore, fifty-five before Christ, taught orators to voice the strongest objection before their opponent could. He called it prolepsis. Name the objection first and it becomes yours to answer. salesarmor.app #sales #objectionhandling #b2bsales

Efectivamente. Y para flash forwards tenemos otra estupenda: prolepsis. 💚
La gente que usa «flashback» desconoce que en español tenemos un término precioso para referirse a ello: «analepsis».

You're in luck, his sister👇 just fell in the door, she's says she particularly likes your subtle metaphysical imagery and masterful use of bathos.

(I did tell her you've a 9" tongue & can breathe through your ears but she'll forget when she sees your epistolary prolepsis.)

Prolepsis
At some point, and this is inevitable for any politician, Mamdani will stumble and get involved with some legitimately objectionable scandal around his administration. It will be an opportunity when this happens to observe if this gets more coverage than every Trump admin scandal combined (it will)

He obviously didn't have some of Guts' characterization figured out early on. Guts seems way less "ptsd" haunted in the "prolepsis." He mastered Puck's cute body early on though. Based etc

I don't like the word. Reminds me of.... (forces myself to stfu)

I like Prolepses in fiction though...

Gungrave reminded me of Berserk's "Flashforward" "Prolepsis" or "In Medias Res," so I checked out how that went in the manga (tbh I skipped the early chapters, I think I started to read around the chapters Griffith started to 'break bad')

Berserk's flashforward is so trashy!! I respect it.

Prolepsis is where events that happen after the narrative are mentioned within the narrative. Using the Hamilton example above, the narrative ends with Hamilton’s death in 1804, but the $10 bill first had Hamilton in 1928 (Eliza’s story at the end is prolepsis, but less effective as it is epilogue)

Prolepsis isn’t a bad thing. It’s a legitimate poetic device in ancient and even some modern poetry (poetry being less narrative now makes that harder, but when we have the line “the ten-dollar founding father”, we must concede its continued use). I teach ancient poetry; I’m a prolepsis fan

Über Vince McMahon als Trump-Prolepsis & -Vorbild hat @josie.zone das einschlägige Buch geeschrieben. Gibt's leider (noch?) nicht auf Deutsch.

Jag lärde mig också att det tekniska greppet att börja med att berätta vad som kommer hända och sen berätta VEM det händer (som även Garcia Marquez gör i Chronicle of a death foretold) kallas Prolepsis. Låter som en sjukdom.

«Ella fue la primera que le avisé».

Un ejemplo bien simple pero lleno de misterios gramaticales!
#relatruchos ! Hendidas! Insitus! Dativos!

Y aún hubiera cabido prolepsis y adjetivo invariable, aunque de lo último no estoy muy seguro.
