FIGURES
OF SPEECH
What Are
Figures of Speech?
Figures
of speech are an integral part of any language, which are used extensively not
only in our day-to-day speech but also in written texts and oral literature.
These are a word or a phrase used in a distinctive way to produce a rhetorical
effect. To say in very simple terms, it is a phrase whose actual meaning is
different from its literal meaning. These are developed and expressed through a
variety of different rhetorical techniques. All of us use different figures of
speech in our daily conversations, both deliberately and subconsciously.
