Answer:

A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is an intentional deviation from ordinary language, chosen to produce a rhetorical effect.[1] Figures of speech are traditionally classified into schemes, which vary the ordinary sequence or pattern of words, and tropes, where words are made to carry a meaning other than what they ordinarily signify. A type of scheme is polysyndeton, the repeating of a conjunction before every element in a list, where normally the conjunction would appear only before the last element, as in "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!"—emphasizing the danger and number of animals more than the prosaic wording with only the second "and". A type of trope is metaphor, describing one thing as something that it clearly is not, in order to lead the mind to compare them, as in "All the world's a stage."

Answer:

Explanation:

There are 7 figures of speech. Simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, idiom, onomatopoeia, and alliteration. A simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form. A hyperbole is an exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. An idiom is a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words. Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. And lastly, alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.
