ANACHRONISM. [Stress: ‘a-NA-kronizm’.] In
RHETORIC, the appearance of a person or thing in the wrong epoch, such as the clock in Shakespeare's
Julius Caesar. Linguistic anachronisms are generally a matter of awareness, context, and expectation: for example, the archaism
wight (person, man) may be appropriate at a seminar on the Elizabethan poet Spenser, but is incongruous and probably unintelligible elsewhere. Similarly, a character in a period novel who says
OK long before the phrase was current rings false for anyone who knows (or senses) that its time is out of joint. Compare
ARCHAISM.
