In reply to:Its def. of prosopopeia sent me to its listing for personification, and I think this helps clarify pretty well:
A figure of speech ... Also called: prosopopeia
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's with the 'also called'? Have I lost it completely this Friday afternoon or are the two spellings the same?
Or are we talking about a missing diaresis here (and to heck with the umlauts)?
Perhaps it's just a circular reference. Prosopopeia sends you to personification, which tells that it is also called prosopopeia. Please remember, when evaluating this post, that my status as gibbering loon has been universally accepted here.
