FIGURES OF SPEECH ENGLISH GRADE 10 MS G MAHLANGU
FIGURES OF SPEECH A figure of speech is a clever way of using words to get a specific outcome. Metaphor, simile, and metonymy are examples of figures of speech that are used often in spoken language. Others, like as antithesis, circumlocution, and puns, require more writing experience to use well. Figures of speech are around us all the time (and thats not hyperbole!), but its the deliberate deployment of them that makes writing stand out (did you catch that alliteration? ALICE (2023)
LITERAL AND FUGURATIVE LANGUAGE
ALLITERATION DEFINATION In words that are near to one another, alliteration refers to the recurrence of an initial consonant sound. ALICE (2023)
ASSONANCE DEFINATION Assonance is frequently referred to as "vowel rhyme" since it has a similar impact on readers as a rhyme. Additionally, assonance occasionally produces explicit rhymes, as it does in this statement. ALICE (2023)
EXAMPLES ASSONANCE Common phrases No pain, no gain. Keep your eyes on the prize. A rolling stone gathers no moss. ALLITERATION Youve also heard (and spoken!) alliteration in tongue twisters: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers She sells seashells by the seashore ALICE (2023)
SIMILE DEFINATION A simile is a form of figurative language that compares one thing to another using the terms like or as to describe it. ALICE (2023)
METAPHOR DEFINATION Metaphors are a type of figurative language, which is used to describe words or statements that have a deeper meaning than they really do. ALICE (2023)
EXAMPLES OF SIMILE I know that definition like the back of my hand. Those two are as different as night and day. He stood out like a sore thumb. That answer is as clear as mud. Grandpa has a memory like a sieve. ALICE (2023)
EXAMPLES OF METAPHOR Work today was a nightmare! You are my shining star. Their bedroom is a pigsty! That athlete is a machine. ALICE (2023)
