It
is word and language are used to extend their meaning beyond the everyday and
create more than surface meaning.
Here
are kinds of figurative languages:
1.
Simile = a figure of speech that involves a direct comparison
between two unlike things and usually using LIKE or AS
Example: You are as beautiful as
rose
2.
Metaphor = a figure of speech that involves an implied
comparison between two relatively unlike things using the form of BE
Example: The hotel is a diamond
of sky
3.
Personification = a figure of speech which human
characteristics are given to an animal or object.
Example: The small dog laughed.
The flowers danced in the lawn
4. Imagery = language appeals to the five senses [sight,
hearing, taste, smell, and touch]. Description of people or object stated in
the term of our sense.
Example:
5.
Irony = to discover or construct the opposite of the apparent
meaning.
Example: You’re beautiful but you’re
ugly
6.
Hyperbole = an exaggeration statement that is so
dramatic.
Example: I’ve loved you for a
thousand years
7.
Alliteration = the repetition of the same initial
sound, letter, group of sound in the series of words.
Example: She sells seashells by seashore
8.
Synecdoche = to discuss apart as it represents the
whole
Example: The ship was lost with all
hands [sailors]
9.
Onomatopoeia = the use of word that imitates natural
sound made by object or action.
Example: Tik-tik-tik, the sound
of rain
10. Idiom = refers
to a construction or expressions in one language that cannot be directly translated
word by word.
Example: The task is a piece
of cake. It has meaning that the task is very easy.
11. Litotes = basically,
the opposite of hyperbole often it is ironic.
Example: Calling s
slow moving person, speedy.
