English Language & Usage Asked on March 18, 2021
I am looking at different movie titles that put part of a word in parenthesis:
I have impression this gives the title a second meaning, perhaps the right one, e.g., "Treating Prisoners" would suggest the movie surveys how prisoners are treated, while "(Mis)Treating" suggests the conclusion from the survey: they are mistreated.
Does this way of using parenthesis have a name?
