仿擬（Parody）
仿擬仿擬是英語語言學分支修辭學的重要修辭手法。這是一種巧妙、機智、而有趣的修辭格。它有意仿照人們熟知的現成的語言材料，根據表達的需要臨時創造出新的語、句、篇來，以使語言生動活潑，或諷刺嘲弄，或幽默詼諧，妙趣盎然。在運用時所仿擬的一般是人們所熟知的語言材料，如成語、諺語、名言、警句。

仿擬(parody) 仿擬是為了表示新的內容所進行的修辭性改造.它可用在許多地方,但廣告無疑是一塊可以大事發揮仿擬的肥沃土地.廣告為了爭奪潛在顧客,常常藉助仿擬修辭格.在廣告中,仿擬可以分為"仿詞","仿語"和"仿句".《大學英語》中就有許多仿擬辭格(Parody),如:Lady Hermits---Down But Not Out. (潦而不倒的女隱士們) 它仿擬的是習語down and out(貧困潦倒);To Lie or Not To Lie,that is a question 它仿擬的是莎士比亞名著哈姆雷特的名句：To be or not to be,that is a question。
