Chiasmus vs. Antimetabole
These two terms sound very similar and are often used to mean the same thing. However, there is a small difference:
Antimetabole: The exact same words are flipped (like the Kennedy quote).
Chiasmus: The grammar structure or ideas are flipped, but the exact words do not have to be repeatedJuly 13, 2026 at 8:59 am #164821
