Figurative Language

English
1 answer:
n200080 [17]2 years ago
6 0

Figurative language refers to the use of words in a way that deviates from traditional meaning in order to convey a complicated meaning, colorful writing, clarity, or evocative comparison. It uses an ordinary sentence to refer to something without directly stating it.

Alliteration: the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.

Example: Three grey geese in a field grazing. Grey were the geese and green was the grazing.

Onomatopoeia: the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named

Example: The bridge collapsed creating a tremendous boom.

Hyperbole: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

Example: He's running faster than the wind.
