The features of figurative language
The figurative language is a form of language use in which writers and speakers
Convey something other than the literal meaning of their words.
The main features of figurative language are:
>Metaphor: a comparison between essentially unlike things without an explicitly comparative
Word such as: like or as.
Example: This phone is a yellow, yellow banana.
>Simile: a figure of speech involving a comparison between unlike things using like, as or
as though .
Example: This phone is like a yellow, yellow banana.
>Hyperbole or exaggeration.
>Personification: endowing inanimate objects with human characteristics.
