Mayor types of the figure of speech ⑴. Simile It is a comparison between two distinctly different things and the comparison is indicated by the word as or like. It has three parts: the tenor, indicator of resemblance, and the vehicle. E.g.；Food is to the body (the tenor) as (indicator of resemblance) fuel is to the engine (the vehicle). ⑵. Metaphor It is the use of a word which originally denotes one thing to refer to another with a similar quality. It is also a comparison, but the comparison is implied, not expressed with the word as or like. E.g.: The green plant is a kind of food factory. The next day he had a red face. ⑶. Personification It is to treat a thing or an idea as if it were human or had human qualities. In poetry it is very common.E.g.: A soft wind kissed the tree tops. My only worry was that January would find me hunting for a job again. ⑷. Metonymy It is a figure of speech that has to do with the substitution of the name of one thing for that of another.E.g.: The mother did her best to take care of the cradle. Her purse would not allow his luxury. ⑸. Synecdoche It involves the substitution of part for the whole, or the whole for the part. E.g.: The farms were short of hands during the harvest season. It was reported that Britain beat New Zealand in a football match yesterday. ⑹. Irony It is the use of words which are clearly opposite to what it meant, in order to achieve a special effect. E.g.: What a fine weather! (In fact it is raining so heavily that you can not go outing as you planned.) ⑺. Transferred Epithet It is a figure of speech where an epithet (an adjective or descriptive phrase) is transferred from the noun it should rightly to another to which it does not really apply or belong. E.g.: The old man put a reassuring hand on may shoulder. There was a short, thoughtful silence. ⑻. Pun It is a play on words, or rather a play on the form and meaning of words. E.g.: Custom: Waiter, will the pancakes be long? Waiter: No, Sir. Round. Custom: Have you got chicken’s legs? Waiter: No, Sir. I always walk this way. Farewell to Arms. ⑼. Euphemism It is the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant. (It is the substitution of a mild or vague expression for a harsh or unpleasant one.) E.g.: Then you’ll see the sign for the rest room. Old people senior citizens ⑽. Alliteration It refers to the appearance of the some initial consonant sound in two or more words (often used in poetry). E.g.: proud as a peacock blind as a bat ⑾. Overstatement/ Exaggeration E.g.: The thriller made my hair stand on end. ⑿. Onomatopoeia It is the formation or use of words to imitate what they denote. E.g.: The north wind roared and howled. 2.
