Abstract:
The article presents special methodology for developing figurative speech, which has a compensatory value among primary schoolchildren, with reduced vision. The complexity of the figurative speech understanding process and the need for developing it among visually impaired children was specified by the scientists, Litvak (2006), Sineva (2008), Fedorenko (2015). The principles (general didactic, linguo-didactic, and special) and the main tasks for developing and correcting each figurative speech component among younger vision-impaired learners are defined as follows: cognitive (development of the visual-figurative basis of speech); emotional (the development of speech expressiveness and the emotional-sensory sphere) and creative-practical (formation of skills and abilities for using the exponents of imagery in speech proficiently, the development of skills for active work with words). The directions of correctional work for each figurative speech component are described. The results obtained by implementing the experimental method indicated positive dynamism in figurative speech development among younger vision-impaired learners in the experimental classes for all the components established in the experimental study, pointing to the effectiveness of the proposed work method on their formation and correction. It was stated that vision impaired children are able to understand and explain the essence of imagery expression, which is available to pupils of primary school age; expressively read and talk about their feelings and emotions from the read literary text; use the means of imagery in their own speech consciously and appropriately, with special pedagogical guidance.

Abstract:
Speeches became an important media for a president like Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to deliver messages, persuade people, influence audience. The speech making process involved a long discussion between Jokowi and a particular team since they should consider some language aspects such as lexical choices and sentence structure in order to achieve certain goals. With regard to this, languages in speeches became important to be analyzed. There are two objects that will be analyzed. These are: kind of hyperbole and synecdoche expression are used by Jokowi in his two political speeches and How is the utterance of hyperbole and synecdoche expression used in the two of Jokowi’s political speeches.

Keywords: Hyperbole, Synecdoche, and Political Speech Abstract: Sebuah Pidato merupakan media yang penting bagi seorang President seperti Joko Widodo dalam menyampaikan pesan, mengajak seseorang dan dapat memberi pengaruh terhadap audien. Sebuah pidato kepresidenan melewati proses yang panjang antara Jokowi dan team tertentu karena harus mempertimbangkan beberapa aspek kebahasaan seperti pemilihan kata secara leksikal dan susunan kalimat agar dapat menyampaikan beberapa tujuan. Sehingga, sehubungan dengan ini, bahasa dalam sebuah pidato menjadi penting untuk dianalisa. Ada dua focus penelitian (1) apa saja ungkapan hyperbola dan synecdoche yang disampaikan Jokowi dalam pidato politiknya?

Abstract:
The acquisition of native language phraseology is important for the speech and mental development of preschool children, because with the help of phraseology children can expressively reproduce a variety of social events in speech, impartially characterise people, their actions and deeds. The purpose of the study was to investigate psycholinguistic features of children's development of operations of understanding figurative meaning of phraseological expressions and their verbalisation in speech. To this end, the authors used methods of assessing the understanding of figurative meaning of proverbs and metaphors, direct interpretation of a word, choosing one variant of meaning from several paraphrases, interviewing children, recording their statements on a voice recorder, and talking to children. The analysis of children's speech was carried out according to the criteria and corresponding indicators: semantic (lexical, metaphorical, conceptual), pragmatic (active use of phrases, correct reproduction, appropriateness of actualisation), expressive-stylistic (evaluative, emotional, figurative speech). Four levels of children's operations of understanding figurative meaning of phraseological expressions and their use in speech were identified: high, sufficient, average, low, each of which correlated with certain psychological and psycholinguistic characteristics. It was found that children acquire phraseology spontaneously, under the influence of the speech of others, and selectively. It has been revealed that preschool children understand the meaning of phraseological units better than they use them in oral speech; the use of phraseological units in spontaneous speech is a more complex speech operation for children than the operation of decoding the figurative meaning of a phraseological unit. However, both the operations of understanding the figurative meaning of phraseological units and the operations of verbalising phraseological units in spontaneous speech require further development. The practical value of the research lies in the development of a diagnostic technique for studying the operations of understanding figurative meaning of phraseological expressions and their use in spontaneous speech in the zone of a child's speech activity and thinking development

Abstract:
We develop a model of figurative or indirect speech, which may convey a meaning that differs from its literal meaning. The model yields analytical conditions for speech to be figurative in equilibrium and delivers a number of comparative statics results. For instance, it predicts that the likelihood of figurative speech is greater if the benefit to the listener of correctly understanding the speaker is greater. We then apply the model to analyze particular forms of indirect speech, including terseness, irony, and veiled bribery. Interestingly, the model provides a novel argument for the effectiveness of laws that strictly punish attempted bribery. (JEL D83, K42, Z13)

Abstract:
In this article, we examine the discourse goals that are accomplished by the use of eight forms of figurative language: hyperbole, idiom, indirect request, irony, understatement, metaphor, rhetorical question, and simile. Subjects were asked to provide reasons why they would use a particular figure of speech. Based on their responses, a discourse goal taxonomy that includes each of the eight figures was developed. The goal taxonomy indicates that each figure of speech is used to accomplish a unique constellation of communicative goals. The degree of goal overlap between the eight forms was also calculated, and the results provide support for theoretical claims about the relatedness of certain figures. Taken together, the goal taxonomy and overlap scores broaden our understanding of functional and theoretical differences between the various kinds of figurative language.

Abstract:
Translating figurative language involves more than just replacing the figurative language with its equivalent in the target language. Therefore, it is not surprising for the translation of figurative language to have its own set of challenges. Problems the translator faces in translating the Malay Figurative Language into English include complexities in understanding, interpreting and recreating the Figurative language that are unique in the Source Language (SL) culture; which have to be explained and described in Target Language (TL) where such practices and customs are non - existent. Secondly, the Source Text (ST) figurative language may appear in a variety of types and have a distinct denotative and connotative meaning and reference; most often, it is difficult to find an equivalent which totally matches the original meaning or concept. This particular paper analyses the translation of figurative language extracted from UniMAP's Vice Chancellor Keynote Speech in 2015. Findings reveal that the three categories of figurative language identified were namely idioms, metaphors and similes. Translation strategies used are either not translated, paraphrased or translated with a similar meaning but in different form.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTIn conversation, speakers occasionally use figurative expressions such as “had a good innings,” “take with a pinch of salt,” or “come to the end of her tether.” This article investigates WHERE in conversation such expressions are used, in terms of their sequential distribution. One clear distributional pattern is found: Figurative expressions occur regularly in topic transition sequences, and specifically in the turn where a topic is summarized, thereby initiating the closing of a topic. The paper discusses some of the distinctive features of the topic termination/transition sequences with which figurative closings are associated, particularly participants' orientation to their moving to new topics. Finally, the interactional use of figurative expressions is considered in the context of instances where their use fails to secure topical closure, manifesting some conflict (disaffiliation, etc.) between the participants.

Abstract:
<p>The article investigates the rhetoric means that are used to adorn the artistic discourse. Adorning of the speech means to delever the artistic discourse to a reader by using various rhetoric means. This problem involved the attention of the rhetorics in ancient Greek, Rome etc., and they have interesting thoughts about adorning the speech by using rhetoric means. In those times the stated problem was introduced on political, law-court, and other speeches. In modern times this problem is also in the air. As the cognitive linguitics developes the problem that was proposed by the Roma rhetorics are investigated basing on conscious, mind frames. The article deals with the three main factors that can be introduced by a speaker. They are admonition, evocation and inspiration. These three factors have special importance in the artistic discourse. So, to adorn the speech is the main rhetoric means. The author states that the adorned speech gives the reader a special kind of inspiration and attracts the reader’s attention more effectively. Different lexical and syntactical constructions (for example, word order, lexical repetitions, inversion, chiasm etc.) as well as colorful figurative can be used as rhetorical means. The author tries to explain the importance of rhetoric means in the artistic discourse using some of the rhetoric means in the article. Gesture, mimics and others can also help to increase the effectiveness of the speech.</p><p>Having investigated the problem the author comes to the conclusion using the figurative, rhetoric means the speaker tries to increase the effectiveness of the information. The author claims that if the artistic discourse is attractive, the listener listens to it attentively, believes in it and remembers it easily. To create the figurative speech means that not depending on the educational level everyone perceives the speech and enjoys listening to it.</p>

Abstract:
The emotional and figurative norms of sentence members have different features, which also have a special place among the syntactic norms. Means of expression such as members, repetitions, parallels, parse, inversion, rhetoric are considered to be the emotional and figurative norms of sentence members. Among these units, which create emotional and figurative, parcel is distinguished by a number of features. Parselation is the transmission of the main idea in laconic parts. Parcels, which are considered to be one of the most important issues of modern syntax, are found in literary, scientific and journalistic works as a linguistic-stylistic phenomenon. The term parcel, translated as parcel, comes from French literary criticism. By means of parallelization, the text is divided into short thought units, so that the writer can draw the reader's attention to an important issue. Parallels are distinguished by punctuation in writing and intonation and pause in speech. Key words: parselation, parcel, informative, construction, norm, speech culture, speech act

Abstract: The use of figurative speech is pervasive in many cultures both in work of literature and day-to-day communication. This specific use of language is one of the many strategies of communication which is imaginative and indirect in nature. Since its meaning is culturally-bounded, then the maning of a particular figurative speech varies from one culture to another. The goals of this paper are a) presenting figurative speeches of animal used in ritual communication, delivered in the local languge, Kambera and then translated into Indonesian; b) explaining the meaning of the figurative speeches in the contexts of Sumbanese culture; c) categorizing the animal metaphors or similes in terms of its positive or negative meanings. Data of ritual couplets are obtained from a library study and interviews with some informatns from eastern Sumba. To understand the meanings of the couplets, the writer conducted interviews and discussion with the informants. The research shows that there are 26 kinds of animal involved in 64 collected couplets. Figurarive speeches using animals generally portray the undesirable traits working against the living norms in the Sumbanese society. They function as a social control over people’s behaviors. Keywords: figurative speech, ritual language, Eastern Sumba Abstrak: Penggunaan bahasa kiasan (atau majas) sangat umum dalam banyak kebudayaan, baik dalam dunia kesustraan sastra maupun komunikasi sehari-hari. Bahasa kiasan adalah salah satu strategi komunikasi yang bersifat imaginatif dan tidak langsung yang menggambarkan bagaimana pengguna memahami dunianya. Karena pemaknaannya berkaitan erat dengan konteks budaya orang yang menggunakannya, maka arti bahasa ini bervariasi dari satu budaya ke budaya yang lain. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah a) menghadirkan majas binatang dalam bahasa ritual yang terucap dalam bahasa lisan lokal, Kambera. Bahasa ritual Kambera juga diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia; b) menguraikan makna bahasa ritual tersebut dalam kaitannya dengan pengambaran realitas kehidupan, dan c), yang berkaitan dengan tujuan kedua, menjelaskan apakah potret manusia melalui majas tersebut berkonotasi positif atau negatif. Data diperoleh melalui convenience sampling dari studi pustaka dan wawancara dengan nara sumber dari Sumba Timur. Pemaknaan majas juga dilakukan melalui wawancara dan diskusi dengan beberapa nara sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 26 jenis binatang dalam 64 bait ritual yang dikumpulkan. Citra binatang pada umumnya mengambarkan perilaku yang bertentangan dengan tatanan norma atau kepatutan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Majas binatang dalam bahasa ritual orang Sumba menjadi semacam kontrol sosial terhadap perilaku anggota masyarakatnya. Kata kunci: majas, bahasa ritual, Sumba Timur

Abstract:
This study sets out to investigate the “poetry of grammar”, more specifically the role of the body in figurative speech, in African languages mainly belonging to Nilotic and Bantu. Apprehending the semantics and pragmatics of metaphorical and metonymic expressions in these languages presupposes an interaction between a number of cognitive processes, as argued below. Interestingly, these languages seem to use these strategies involving figurative speech in tandem with alternative strategies involving on-record statements. This multivocality only makes sense if we place language and language structure more in the social world in which it is used.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of linguistic means of sacrality as a style category, covering the solemnly elevated, traditionally established register of expressive linguistic means that hold the dominant values of the figurative book syntagms of religious style. Particular attention is paid to the unveiling of the stylistic potential of biblical words and expressions in the early speech-making of Maksym Rylskyi. The linguistic mechanisms of sacrality as a means of creating linguistic color, solemn, sublime, aesthetic perfection, positively-valued sounding of a poetic word are revealed. Performing stylistic, compositional, pragmatic functions in the artistic text, the sacral units are expressions of the individual-authorial reception of the values. Traditional artistic means of expressing sacrality in Maksym Rylskyi’s language are biblical words and phraseologisms, which are included in the registers not only of dictionaries of biblical words and expressions, but also of common phraseological and interpretative dictionaries dominant in the figurative book syntagms of the religious style and at the same time the expression of the gravity of the spiritual memory of the nation. In poetic contexts biblical words and expressions often acquire a metaphorical, lyrical sound, attesting to the sacral desemantization of lexemes, but instead actualizing implicit linguistic semantics.

Abstract:
The uniqueness of literary language is full of ambiguity, having no rule, sometimes irrational, and connotative. Figurative language is not only referential that refers to certain thing but it has also expressive function that shows the author behavior. Various kinds of technique had been created by the author; he used figurative languages, imageries, and certain diction to attract the readers. Stylistic is a science that study the use of language and language style in literary work including sound, diction, sentence, discourse, figurative language, and imageries. This research aims to unveil figurative languages used in Japanese song lyric written by Miwa entitled, Kimi ni Deaeta Kara, and to observe the objective of using connotative language as expression of the author to express his ideas. This research used was stylistic theory to analyze figure of speech and its meaning. The result found that the use of metaphor to express something as the same thing or equal too another thing that is actually not the same. Metaphor gives freshness in language, animates the lifeless, keeps away the boredom because of monotone, and actualizes something. Based on the result of the analysis, the song written has a theme of love; a lot of dictions symbolize love. Figure of speech used by the author adds aesthetic value of the song lyric and the message of the author is well delivered.

Abstract:
A poet often uses the style of language in composing poetry in order to achieve the desired beauty. Likewise with one of the famous Arab poets in the modern era, namely Nizar Qabbani. He often uses language styles, one of which is the figurative language style, to compose verses in his poems. One of his works which contains a lot of this style of figurative language is his poem entitled "Mansyūrātun Fidāiyyatun ā Al Judrāni Isrāīl". This study aims to analyze the style of figurative language used in the poem. In this study, researchers used stylistic analysis, to be able to find out the types of figurative language used by poets. The results of this study indicate that poets use several kinds of figurative language styles, namely equation or simile (tasybīh), metaphor or isti’ārah, antonomasia or kināyah, pars pro toto (majāz mursal juz’iyyah), irony and cynicism. The most figurative style of speech used by poets is the style of equality or simile (tasybīh), irony and cynicism. This is because the poem is a criticism and representation of expressions of bitterness, anger, and disappointment of the Palestinian people both towards Israel, America, and other world communities.

Abstract. Speakers of three different languages (English, Latvian, and Mandarin) rated sets of idioms from their language for the analyzability of the relationship between each phrase’s literal and figurative meaning. For each language, subsets of idioms were selected based on these ratings. Latvian and Mandarin idioms were literally translated into English. Across three experiments, people classified idioms from the three languages according to their figurative meanings. Response times and error rates indicate that participants were able to interpret unfamiliar (e.g., other languages’) idioms depending largely on the degree to which they were analyzable, and that different forms of processing were used both within and between languages depending on this analyzability. Results support arguments for a continuum of analyzability ( Bortfeld & McGlone, 2001 ), along which figurative speech ranges from reflecting general conceptual structures to specific cultural and historical references.

The article is devoted to the study of geometric metaphor in the modern English language. Metaphor quite often can be found both in English and in many other languages. Very often metaphors are associated with the letter, but without noticing it, they often use them in everyday speech. The role of a metaphor in the English language is to diversify speech with turns that have a figurative meaning that gives expressiveness to phrases and sentences. To make English speech not only literate, but also beautiful. Metaphors enrich the language and show a high level of language proficiency. Therefore, when learning English, along with everyday vocabulary, idioms, phrasal verbs, it is not out of place to learn some common beautiful metaphors. The geometric metaphor can be considered an important element of the modern English economic discourse and correspondingly communication, thus it obtains a special status in the frame of cognition. It is understood from the research there are a lot of geometric metaphors and is actively used in the cognitive processes of conceptualization and classification of economic reality.

For a successful verbal communication, the ability of decoding the direct and figurative meaning is essential. Idioms as a part of any language have always been an issue for the discussion among scholars. It is said that artists add life to their artworks with colours while writers “add colour” to their writings with idioms and other figurative speech that fosters creative thinking. Therefore, the article deals with the perception of figurative meaning expressed in verbal communication through the usage of colour idioms. The paper discloses a different understanding and employment of colour idioms, black and white colour in particular, in various cultural settings. The analysis reveals that not all languages possess colour idioms with the same colour element within them. It also discloses cultural aspects of three linguistic communities, one colour could be considered as the most prominent example as in three languages it refers to a completely different phenomenon.

Connections are developed between Prior’s use of effervescent figures of speech and narrative tricks, and uses of figurative metaphysical language in Isaac Newton’s Opticks, the Principia Mathematica, and the ‘Leibniz–Clarke’ controversy of 1715–1716. It emerges that the poem’s main subject is figurative language and the arguments it serves. Alma is a very unusual critique of aspects of Newtonian thought, employing techniques of ‘metaphysical’ poetry to poke fun at Newtonian metaphysics.

Abstract:
This descriptive qualitative research identified briefly the figurative expressions on Donald Trump’s tweeter post. It used Abrams and Harpham’s theory. This research applied observational method and non-participation technique in collecting the data. Then, this research applied semantic identity method and semantic-competence in equalizing to analyze the data. The figure of similarity found mostly in the comments or responses. There were expressions of simile, metaphor, allusion, and personification. The comments or responses mostly compared the one to the other living or non-living things to express how loathe the writers of comments. The figures of speech criticized the one’s works and acts. On the other hand, the expressions attacked the face (FTA). Previously, the figures of speech were used in the literary works to show the expression aesthetically. But now, the freedom to express the ideas makes the figures of speech not only to show the ‘sweet and smooth’ language but also ‘rude’ language.
