Figure of Speech
Figure of Speech

• A figure of speech is a word phrase using


figurative language – language that has other
meaning than its original definition.
• The purpose of a figure of speech is to lend
texture and color your writing.
Common Types of
Figure of Speech
Simile
It is a very common figure of speech that uses the
words “like” and “as” to compare two things that are
not related by definition.

Examples:

1. He is tall as a mountain.
2. The internet is like a window to the world.
3. The drumbeats sounded like distant thunder.
metaphor
A metaphor includes a word or phrase applied to an item that creates
imagery and explains the situation better. In simple terms, metaphors
state that one thing is another thing and makes a comparison between
similarities of those items

Examples:

1. America is a melting pot.


2. Life is a highway.
3. His grief is an ocean.
Idiom
An idiom is a saying or phrase with a figurative meaning that's
different from its literal meaning. It's basically a shortcut
expression that everyone familiar with the language understands.

Examples:

1. Break a leg – Good luck


2. See eye to eye – To agree or have the same opinion
3. Once in a blue moon - Something happens very rarely
ASSONANCE
Assonance is a figure of speech that focuses on the repetition of vowel sounds
in nearby words. It's not about rhyming, but rather creating a pleasing flow and
emphasis through repeated vowel sounds.

Examples:

1. "The slight spark started a fire" (repeated "i"


sound)
2. "He rowed the boat along the slow, still river"
(repeated "o" sound)
Hyperbole
Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement. It describes
something to be worse or better than it actually is. It’s
a way to catch the reader’s attention and to make
writing more interesting.

Examples:

1. I was dying of laughter.


2. I’m freezing.
3. Weighs a ton.
OXYMORON
Oxymoron allow writers to combine two ideas with
opposite meanings to create a deeper understanding
or emphasis.
Examples:

1. Pretty ugly
2. Acting natural
3. Alone together
4. Seriously funny
personification
When a writer attributes human characteristics, like abilities or
aesthetic qualities, to something non-human, they personify that
object or animal.

Examples:

1. “The moonlight danced across the mountain


ridges.”
2. “The story jumps right off the page.”
3. “That piece of cake is calling my name.”
alliteration
Alliteration is the repetition of the same letter or sound at the beginning of
words. Alliteration is used to make writing interesting for the reader- usually in
poems. It also creates rhythm and mood. It is important to note that different
repeated sounds will have different effects on the reader.

Examples:

1.The sly snake slithers slowly in the sand.


2. Peter piper picked a peck of peppers.
3. She sells seashells by the seashore.
onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like what it describes. It is a language
technique used to make it more interesting and helps the reader hear the sound
in their minds.
Examples:

1.The lion roared.


2. My phone rings.
3. The wolf howled.
4. The bee buzzled.
