IAS English Literature Figurative Language IAS English Literature

What is figurative language? When a writer uses literal language, he or she is simply stating the facts as they are. Figurative language is language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. To speak figuratively is to not mean what you saying but to imply something else.

Types of figurative langauge Today, we will focus on four types of figurative language Simile Metaphor Personification Hyperbole

Simile – What is it? Simile is a figure of speech where two unlike things are compared, generally by using the word like or as. ‘Lennie was as a strong as a bull.’

Simile - Effects Similes attract the attention and appeals directly to the senses of listeners or readers encouraging their imagination to comprehend what is being communicated. Makes it easier for the readers to understand the subject matter of a literary text. Like metaphors, similes also offer variety in our ways of thinking and offers new perspectives of viewing the world.

Metaphor – What is it? Metaphor is a figure of speech where two unlike things are compared, without using the word like or as. A metaphor very often uses the verb 'to be’. ‘The assignment was a breeze.’

Metaphor - Effect It is stronger than a simile because it does more than just compare. It attracts the attention and appeals directly to the senses of listeners or readers encouraging their imagination to comprehend what is being communicated. It makes it easier for the readers to understand the subject matter of a literary text. It offers variety in our ways of thinking and offers new perspectives of viewing the world.

Personification – What is it? Personification is when a writer gives non-human things, human qualities or traits. ‘The flowers danced in the gentle breeze.’

Personification - Effects It adds vividness to expressions as we always look at the world from a human perspective. It brings inanimate things to life, so that their nature and movements are understood in a better way. It is easier for us to relate to something that is human or that possesses human traits.

Hyperbole – What is it? Hyperbole is a form of exaggeration. - “I am so hungry I could eat a horse!”

Hyperbole - Effects Can communicate ideas, emotions, and images in a more efficient way than through plain language. Can add humor and drama to a text Can help to characterise the speaker as being overly- dramatic, tense, insane, or outlandish Can help to build context and deliver the author’s intended message more effectively

Hyperbole - Effects - Can make common human feelings remarkable and intense to such an extent that they do not remain ordinary. Can develop contrasts: when one thing is described with an over-statement and the other thing is presented normally, a striking contrast is developed. Can be employed to catch the reader’s attention.
