Question

What is figure of speech?

Answer

◇A figure of speech is a deviation from the ordinary use of words in order to increase their effectiveness.

◇Basically, it is a figurative language that may consist of a single word or phrase.

◇It may be a simile, a metaphor or personification to convey the meaning other than the literal meaning.

Types of figures of Speech:

$\Large\fbox\blue{Simile}$

In simile two unlike things are explicitly compared. For example, “She is like a fairy”. A simile is introduced by words such as like, so, as etc.

$\Large\fbox\blue{Metaphor}$

It is an informal or implied simile in which words like, as, so are omitted. For example, “He is like a lion (Simile) “and “He is a lion (metaphor)”. In the following examples, metaphors are underlined.

◇She is a star of our family.

◇The childhood of the world

◇She is now in the sunset of her days.

$\Large\fbox\blue{Personification}$

Personification is an attribution of personal nature, intelligence or character to inanimate objects or abstract notions. For example, in some phrases we use, the furious storm, the thirsty ground, and the pitiless cold. Some other examples are:

◇Little sorrows sit and weep. (Boccaccio)

◇The dish ran away with the spoon. (Blake)

$\Large\fbox\blue{Hyperbole}$

Hyperbole is a statement made emphatic by overstatement. For example, “Virtues as the sands of the shore.”

$\Large\fbox\blue{Synecdoche}$

Synecdoche is the understanding of one thing by means of another. Here, a part is used to designate the whole or the whole to designate a part. For example, “I have the Viceroy, love the man.”, and “All hands (crew) at work.”

$\Large\fbox\blue{TransferredEpithets}$

In transferred epithets, the qualifying objective is transferred from a person to a thing as in phrases. For example, “sleepless night”, “sunburn mirth”, and “melodious plain”.

$\Large\fbox\blue{Epigram}$

It is a brief pointed saying. It couples words which apparently contradict each other. The language of the epigram is remarkable for its brevity. Examples are as under:

$\Large\fbox\blue{Oxymoron}$

It is a figure of speech which combines two seemingly contradictory or incongruous words for sharp emphasis or effect. For example,

◇“darkness visible” (Milton);

◇“make haste slowly” (Suetonius)

◇“loving hate” (Romeo and Juliet)
