![Page 12: The Four Kinds of Sentences](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568163d3550346895dd51c02/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Recognizing Figurative Language The opposite of literal language is figurative
language. Figurative language is language that means more than what it says on the surface.
• It usually gives us a feeling about its subject. • Poets use figurative language almost as
frequently as literal language. When you read poetry, you must be conscious of the difference. Otherwise, a poem may make no sense at all.

Recognizing Literal Language
“I’ve eaten so much I feel as if I could literally burst!”
• In this case, the person is not using the word literally in its true meaning. Literal means "exact" or "not exaggerated." By pretending that the statement is not exaggerated, the person stresses how much he has eaten.
Literal language is language that means exactly what is said.
Most of the time, we use literal language.

Simile• A figure of speech which
involves a direct comparison between two unlike things, usually with the words like or as. Example: The muscles on his
brawny arms are strong as iron bands.
![Page 18: The Four Kinds of Sentences](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568163d3550346895dd51c02/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Metaphor• A figure of speech which
involves an implied comparison between two relatively unlike things using a form of be. The comparison is not announced by like or as. Example: The road was a ribbon
wrapped through the dessert.

Alliteration• Repeated consonant sounds
occurring at the beginning of words or within words. Example: She was wide-eyed and
wondering while she waited for Walter to waken.

Personification• A figure of speech which gives
the qualities of a person to an animal, an object, or an idea. Example: “The wind yells while
blowing." The wind cannot yell. Only a living
thing can yell.

Onomatopoeia• The use of words that mimic
sounds. Example: The firecracker
made a loud ka-boom!
![Page 22: The Four Kinds of Sentences](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568163d3550346895dd51c02/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hyperbole• An exaggerated statement used
to heighten effect. It is not used to mislead the reader, but to emphasize a point. Example: She’s said so on several
million occasions.
![Page 23: The Four Kinds of Sentences](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568163d3550346895dd51c02/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Idioms• An idiom or idiomatic expression
refers to a construction or expression in one language that cannot be matched or directly translated word-for-word in another language. Example: "She has a bee
in her bonnet," meaning "she is obsessed," cannot be literally translated into another language word for word.
