Language is a single, integrated structure, composed of phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, and rhetoric. Each component influences the others. Grammatical positions in sentences influence rhetorical meanings, which have both apparent and inferred connotations, central or peripheral.
The beauty of expression in rhetoric stems from the solidity and strength of meaning. Meaning is shaped by grammatical positions in sentences and revealed by words. Grammatical positions influence simile sentences, which are a subset of rhetoric.
