Zeugma is one of the most representative and challenging figures of speech in Mateo Alemán’s Guzmán de Alfarache. At times Alemán employs this kind of omission for the sole purpose of contrasting the habitual amplitude of the syntax, without making any changes in the omitted term. However, there is another type of zeugma, the complex one, where the missing term presents morphological or semantic variations. The study of this rhetorical mechanism also shows some of Alemán’s stylistic preferences, mainly due to the aim of entertaining the reader and also to the interest in avoiding the tedium that could be caused by the constant repetition or symmetry. This type also evidences the author’s wit, his expressiveness, and his faith in the intelligence of the readers. With all this in mind, the aim of this paper is to present the conclusions drawn from the analysis of the zeugma in the Guzmán de Alfarache, a book which combines variatio and decorum, amplificatio and brevitas ​
