Answer:

kenning

Explanation:

Kenning is a literary device widely used in medieval literature in Nordic countries. This device is used to replace words of direct and denotative meaning for words of figurative meaning.

We can perceive kenning in Beowulf's speech when he says "The shelterer of warriors and your people’s loved friend" instead of using the word king, thus translating a more poetic and connotative language.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) uses a fine humor style which is easily detected in extracts like:

<em>"Thish-yer Smiley had a mare; the boys called the fifteen minute nag(...) for all she was so slow and always had the asthma, or the distemper or the consumption, or something of that kind."</em>

<em>"...And he had a little small bull pup, that to look at him you´d think he warn´t worth a cent(...) his underjaw´d begin to stick out like the fo´castle of a steamboat..."</em>

<em>"...He ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal´klated to edercate him(...) and you bet you he did learn him, too.</em>

Twain is satirizing several aspects of American life, but specially the country "punks" who tend to speak at length about subjects that are close to them but are really unimportant an nonsensical.
