Antiptosis (from Ancient Greek ανταλλαγή (antallagḗ) 'exchange of' and περίπτωση (períptōsē) 'case') is a rhetorical device. Specifically, it is a type of enallage (the substitution of grammatically different but semantically equivalent constructions) in which one grammatical case is substituted for another.
