A3. Abstraction
Figurative language creates figures (pictures) in the mind of the
reader or listener. These pictures help convey the meaning faster
and more vividly than words alone. We use figures of speech in
"figurative language" to add color and interest, and to awaken the
imagination.
1. Simile - the most commonly used figure of speech, it directly
compares one object to another, using words 'as', 'as though', 'as
if', 'as '.. as' and 'like' eg. Eyes as blue as the sky and deep like the
ocean
2. Metaphor - it is similar to simile but uses indirect comparison. It
compares two things by saying one thing is another thing. It does
not use the words like or as e.g. He was a lion in the battle field
3. Personification - personification simply means making
inanimate things behave in a very human like way. e.g. The wind
whispers secrets in my ears
4. Hyperbole - it is another very commonly used figure of speech,
which simply translated means exaggeration. E.g. A thousand times
I begged his pardon
5. Idiom - is a type of figurative language that is a phrase that
people say that is commonly accepted as having a different
meaning that the individual words may lead you to believe. For
example, stating that “it’s raining cats and dogs” does not mean
that there are literally cats and dogs falling from the sky. Instead,
it means that it is raining heavily. Many of the idioms in English
have roots back to older ways of saying things.
6. Apostrophe - it is a diversion of discourse from the topic at
hand to addressing some person or thing, either present or absent.
E.g. O, Rizal! Rise and save the youth
