Figurative Speech and its Usage:

Figurative Speech:
A figure of speech is a word or phrase using figurative
language—language that has other meaning than its
normal definition. In other words, figures of speeches
rely on implied or suggested meaning, rather than a
dictionary definition. We express and develop them
through hundreds of different rhetorical techniques,
from specific types like metaphors and similes, to
more general forms like sarcasm and slang.

Usage of Figurative Speech:


Figure of speech is not only used to embellish the language, but
also cause a moment of excitement when reading. It is
used equally in writing as well as in speech. It, in fact,
provides emphasis, clarity or freshness to expression.
Clarity, however, may sometimes suffer because a
figure of speech introduces double meanings such as
connotative and denotative meanings. It also
strengthens the creative expression and description
along with making the language more graphic, pointed
and vivid.
