enallage
Enallage (; (ギリシア語:ἐναλλαγή), ''enallagḗ'', "interchange") is a figure of speech used to refer to the use of tense, form, or person for a grammatically incorrect counterpart.〔Silva Rhetoricae (2006). (Enallage )〕
==Form==
One use of enallage is to give a sentence improper form quite deliberately. Shakespeare wrote, “‘Is there not wars? Is there not employment?’” (2nd Henry IV, I, ii) In these cases, he uses enallage to achieve parallel structure. Byron stated, “The idols are broke in the temple of Baal.” Here he used the past tense form of ''break'' instead of the past participle, ''broken,'' which should have been used.
Another noted example is when professional prize fight manager Joe Jacobs cried, ''We was robbed!'', after his fighter lost a decision in 1932. Through this utterance Arthur Quinn claimed Jacobs "achieved for himself linguistic immortality."
A colorful Lake Charles, Louisiana politician, Johnny Myers, once was heard to say in a political speech, "I ain't got no dogs in that fight!" Of course, this is incorrect grammar, but it was the use by Johnny Myers of a good home-spun rhetorical device—known as enallage, coupled with his "dogfighting" metaphor—that is described as his having made his point emphatically and effectively—that he was not involved in a particular political dispute.
