In nightmares, sometimes it happens: actions are repeated all the time, and it seems to a person that it will always be like this, and then he wakes up. But sometimes repetition is not something so terrible. For example, our everyday life is also cyclical, but some even like it if life is arranged reasonably and is not burdened with suffering. Today we will consider something that is also based on repetition. The adjective "sacramental" is in the center of the narrative, it will be informative and interesting.
Meaning
Every person or literary hero has words that belong only to him. For example, Sherlock Holmes is strongly associated with the exclamation “Elementary, Watson!”, although experts say that this phrase is not in the collected works about the famous detective. Or take Holmes' incarnation, Gregory House, perhaps his most famous maxim: "Everyone lies."
Before we reveal the cards and talk about how this all relates to the adjective "sacramental" (this can wait), we will turn to the explanatory dictionary and learn from him about the meaning of the object of study:
- Associated with a religious rite, ritual.
- Established in tradition, made common.
The first meaning is direct, and the second is figurative. Of course, when we are now talking about something sacramental, then we don’t even know about any rite. Rather, we mean just the language business card of this or that person. Because the object of study is primarily associated with words.
Characters and their lines
Of course, if the reader is given time, he will probably say what phrases he associates with his relatives and friends, we, in turn, could talk about our relatives and friends. In a word, all this promises a wonderful but endless conversation that we cannot afford. Therefore, we turn to film images that are close to many and are very popular.
Remember the wonderful film "Rain Man" (1988). With the main character Raymond Babbitt, the phrase "who plays first base?" and the adverb "categorically". This is exactly what Raymond Babbitt's sacramental words are, that is, what has become part of everyday life.
Do you remember Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future trilogy? When Marty went back in time, the refrain in a conversation with Doc about McFly's parents isJr. sounded the phrase "hard case." In general, everyone has their own associations. But any character, both in a film and in a book, is created precisely by such linguistic, speech refrains that stick to him tightly and, in this case, make him alive. This is such a paradoxical interaction of life and death in art. It turns out that the sacramental is not only an important part of religion, but also of art. Needless to say, "there are strange rapprochements." And perhaps, on the contrary, very natural.
Synonyms
To consolidate the success and diversify the reader's vocabulary, we, along with the meaning of "sacramental", also offer logical replacements for the object of study. Freedom of choice is everything. We must not lag behind the civilized world. So let's take a look at the list:
- regular;
- traditional;
- ritual.
Probably, the reader could manage without us, having carefully analyzed the previous narrative. But it is more convenient that synonyms are given in a list and in one place.
We remind you that today we considered the adjective "sacramental", and it was, we hope, curious.
