Lexical stylistic devices are classified in three groups:

Amosova think that unless they regularly form parts of former(a) sentences it is erroneous to include them into the system of language, because they are independent units of communication. N.N. Amosova hitherto thinks that there is no more reason to consider them as part of expression than, for instance, riddles and childrens counts.
