Figure of Speech
Types of Figure of speech
1. Simile
Is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things, often introduced with the word "like" or "as".
2. Metaphor
Is a figure of speech concisely comparing two things, saying that one is the other.
3. Personification
Is an ontological metaphor in which a thing or abstraction is represented as a person.
A description of an inanimate object as being a living person or animal as in.
An outstanding example of a quality or idea.
4. Trope
Is a way of turning a word away from its normal meaning, or turning it into something else.
5. Hyperbole
Is a figure of speech in which statements are exaggerated. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.
6. Synecdoche
It is a figure of speech in which a term denoting a part of something is used to refer to the whole thing or a term denoting a thing (a "whole") is used to refer to part of it.
7. Onomatopoeia
Is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes.
8. Irony
It is a situation, literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity, discordance or unintended connection that goes beyond the most evident meaning.
It is a disparity of expression and intention or when a literal meaning is contrary to its intended effect. Use of word in a way that conveys a meaning opposite to its usual meaning.
