class.
3. Abstraction
Figure of speech, any intentional deviation
from literal statement or common usage that
emphasizes, clarifies, or embellishes both
written and spoken language. Forming an
integral part of language, figures of speech
are found in oral literatures as well as in
polished poetry and prose and in everyday
speech. Greeting-card rhymes, advertising
slogans, newspaper headlines, the captions of Students will listen carefully to the
cartoons, and the mottoes of families and discussion.
institutions often use figures of speech,
generally for humorous, mnemonic, or eye-
catching purposes. The argots of sports, jazz,
business, politics, or any specialized groups
abound in figurative language.
Types of Figure of Speech
Simile
Comparison between 2 unlike things
using "like" or "as".
Example: "She was acting like a pig."
Metaphor
Direct Comparison between 2 unlike
things.
Example: "She was a pig."
Onomatopoeia
A word expressing a sound
Example: “Ticktock, ticktock… the sound of
the clock was all that could be heard in the
hospital waiting room.”
Personification
An idea or thing is given human
attributes and/or feelings or is spoken of as if
it were human.
Example: "the branches danced in the wind"
Alliteration
A series of words with the same
beginning consonant sound
Example: "She sells seashells on the sea
shore."
Synecdoche
Creating an image by using a part to
represent a whole.
Example: “Get your nose out of my
business!"
Hyperbole
Extreme exaggeration.
Example: “I’ve heard you say that a million
times before.”
Why is figure of speech important in English
language? Yes, Student B?

Learning figures of speech, like similes,

metaphors or personification in English,
helps the learners to improve their
understanding of the figurative aspect of the
language while also exposing them to the use
and understanding of clichés and slangs. The
teaching of figures of speech plays an
 important role to the ESL (English as a
Second Language) learner.
Very good insights, Student B!
That’s the end of our discussion today. Any
question?

None
