Derivatives

parodic

adjective pəˈrɒdɪkpəˈrɑdɪk

Even for the parodic and satiric intent, there is a greater interest in the design and design faults of language than a care for what the reader will take away.
Example sentencesExamples
- Fan fiction, Harvey says, falls into the legal blur between fair use, which allows people to use another's work for criticism, academic and parodic purposes, and the author's moral right to have their creation used
- It took a lot of clicking around (more, in retrospect, than it should have) to come to the conclusion that the whole site was parodic (although their links at the bottom of the page are for real, which was what had puzzled me).

- This oscillation between different parodic and satirical tactics makes it something of a moving target for potential litigation.

parodically

adjective

Conventional wisdom holds that allegory fell out of fashion near the end of the sixteenth century; even Spenser retreated from the mode late in The Faerie Queene, Milton used it only incidentally or parodically, and Sidney not at all.
Example sentencesExamples
- By exposing identity as accreted rather than fixed, performance does not parodically deform an original identity: what is parodied is the notion of an original identity per se.
- A second coming is what the movie is darkly and parodically all about, a second coming of a father whom the boys would love passionately if they were given the smallest encouragement.

parodist

noun ˈparədɪstˈpɛrədəst

Example sentencesExamples

- It is one thing, we have learned, to describe something as being ‘beyond parody’, but another, as would-be parodists, to experience the consequences of this phenomenon.
- It triggered a veritable tidal wave of imitators, parodists, and artists wishing to capitalize on its success.
- The parodist must both imitate and create incongruity in relation to the pretext, and parody has, contrary to pastiche, traditionally had a comic dimension.

Origin

Late 16th century: via late Latin from Greek parōidia 'burlesque poem', from para- 'beside' (expressing alteration) + ōidē 'ode'.

This came via late Latin from Greek parōidia ‘burlesque poem’, from para- ‘mock-’ and ōidē ‘ode’. The sense ‘feeble imitation’ dates from the early 19th century.
