Figurative Language Definition
Figurative language is a way of speaking or writing which is in a non-literal sense and is designed to have more of an impact about the subject it is referring to. It is used to add a more vivid or imaginative description of something, someone or a situation. When using figurative language, the speaker wishes to convey something in a way which is not usual to everyday language. It will have a more rhetorical meaning and may not seem to make sense until the listener understands the concept of figurative language. When used in a literary sense, figurative language adds new layers to the meaning of the text and can create a more emotional, deep response for the reader. Types of Figurative Language
