Figurative language is common in literature and poetry as it uses exaggerations or alterations to make a particular linguistic point, it's also used in other forms of writing. Let's explore different variations to see what you'd like to use in your next writing piece.

alliteration - Alliteration helps writers punch points home by repeating the same sound (usually a consonant) of the first or second letter in a series of words. It tends to catch the reader's eye.
-The professor praised his pupil's flowery prose.

hyperbole - When a writer exaggerates something - typically in a humorous way - it's known as hyperbole.
-My eyes widened at the sight of the mile-high sundaes that were brought to our table.

metaphor - A metaphor is a comparison between two things. They don't necessarily have to be alike, but they should make a link in the reader's mind.
-Nobody invites Edward to parties because he is a wet blanket.

personification - When something non-human is given human-like qualities, this is known as personification.
-The leaves danced in the wind on the cold October afternoon.

simile - A simile is a direct comparison between two things, using like or as.
-Jamie runs as fast as the wind.

symbolism - Symbolism occurs when something that has one meaning is used to represent something entirely different. For example, using an image of the American flag to represent patriotism.
-The man proudly flew his flag on the 4th of July

In addition to the various types of words relating to the word’s meaning, a figurative language also includes unusual constructions or combination of words that provide a new perspective on the word.

For example:
assonance - Assonance occurs when you repeat a vowel sound in a phrase.
-True, I do like Sue.

cliché - A cliché is a phrase that is repeated so often, it's nearly meaningless.
-Try walking a mile in my shoes.

idiom - An idiom is an expression used by a group of people with a meaning that can only be understood through common usage.
-I'm waiting for him to kick the bucket. (Many idioms are also considered clichés.)

metonymy - Metonymy is a figure of speech where one word is replaced with a word that's closely associated with it. For example, you might hear Washington used to refer to the U.S. government. The political corruption in Washington is just unreal.

onomatopoeia - When the name of an action imitates the sound it makes, it's known as an onomatopoeia.
-The bees buzz angrily when their hive is disturbed.

synecdoche - A synecdoche is a figure of speech using a word or words to represent a whole. For example, if you refer to credit cards as "plastic," you're using a synecdoche. Rather than using cash, she just paid with her plastic.
