Word of the week: Prolepsis, Dulcet

Prolepsis:
I have found a video that perfectly describes this word with an example.


Sherlock Holmes has an ability to 'flash-forward' and the slow-motion parts of the clip, where he throws punches basically shows when his 'flash-forwards' happens.

  1. Ohhh, nice work with the 'key concept' of Prolepsis - good example, it's so common isn't it? Much easier to spot visually rather than through language sometimes though.

    Good work with examples of 'dulcet' in poetry too - v good presentation of work, obvious you take pride in what you do. Lovely.
