Anthimeria is the use of a word as if it were a member of a different word class.

Periphrasis is a style that involves indirect ways of expressing things.



A good way to remember anthimeria is that ant(i) usually means the opposite, so this is talking about something from an opposite group in effect.



For periphrasis, peri means around so this is going around or outside of the usual method of saying things.



I hope this helps.
