Figurative Language

1) FIGURATIVE: expressing one thing in terms normally denoting another with which it may be regarded as analogous.

2) FIGURE OF SPEECH: a form of expression used to convey meaning or heighten effect often by comparing or identifying one thing with another that has a meaning or connotation familiar to the reader or listener.

IMAGERY: figurative language.

TROPE: the use of a word or expression in a figurative sense.


All of these words have to do with some part of speech.
