The French language is also rich through its aesthetics - that is, its good use – only in the various parts of speech that do not consider its norm. These deviations, which are not accepted but no longer formally prohibited in the use of the language french, are more than expressive. We find them both in literary works and in daily conversations. Among the figures of rhetoric, or figures of speech or even figures of style, we have the figures of construction, the figures of sound, the figures of meaning. This the latter play an important role in speeches, and they give rise to many questions that have not yet been answered satisfactorily. These questions concern several theoretical and defining aspects of hyperbole through literary works are relating to the actualization of this figure and from a linguistic approach.

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.

Full textAbstract:
This article mainly deals with the figures of speech, which are nowadays widely used in French spoken language. The article points out that the figures of speech, found mainly in examples from literary materials, are often used during dialogues to give speech specificity and to make ordinary colloquial speech more expressive. During a discourse, it is unavoidable to use descriptive means to convey emotions and feelings to the other party. In order to develop this factor in detail, this article explains some examples of the use of metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole, comparison, personification and other figures of speech from a number of novels by the 21st century French writer Faïza Guène. From the article we can see that figurative language is in most cases necessary for humans to express themselves clearly. However, it concludes that much research will be needed in the future to analyze the unique place of each figure of speech in modern colloquial French. Because, as the French linguist Ruth Amossy says, the importance of reflection on figures cannot fail to raise fruitful questions about the complex relationship between style and argumentation. Indeed, one may ask to what extent style contributes to the impact of speech.

Full textAbstract:
A figure of speech serves as a literary device, strategically employing words or phrases in a manner that transcends their literal meanings, and creates a distinct effect. This article aims to discern pervasive figures of speech in English poetic constructions crafted by various poets. Employing a qualitative stylistic approach, the article involves examples as the demonstrations,boldface words as discernment and explication of discerned figures of speech as clarification. It reveals the findings that figures of speech in poetic construction suggest rich layers of meaning, evoke vivid imagery and emotions, convey symbolic significance, enhance the musicality of the text, and invite readers to engage in interpretation and exploration. They are essential tools for poets to express complex ideas and evoke profound emotional responses from their readers. It is expected to prove beneficial to college students pursuing poetry as a major subject, as well as teachers keen on instructing figures of speech in English poetry. It is significant as it indicates that enhanced capacity for memorization and comprehension of figures of speech augments the overall grasp of poetic constructions thereby fostering a more profound understanding of entire poems among both students and teachers.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractUse of rhetorical figures has been an element of persuasive speech at least since Gorgias of Leontini, for whom such deliberate deviations from ordinary literal language were a defining feature of what he called the ‘psychagogic art’. But must we consider figures of speech limited to an ornamental and merely stylistic function, as some ancient and still many modern theorists suggest? Not according to contemporary cognitive rhetoric, which proposes that figures of speech can play a fundamentally argumentative role in speech by evoking a level of shared meaning between speaker and listener, and simultaneously by affording the possibility of reorganizing this common ground. This paper argues that, in Latin literature, zeugma—the ‘linking together’ of two elements (usually nouns or prepositional phrases) with a third (usually a verb) that is semantically compatible with only one of them—can and very often does operate argumentatively, and that it does so by surfacing figurative relationships that normally remain below the conscious awareness of Latin speakers and by imparting a certain structure to these relationships. What very often motivates the selection of elements within zeugma—and what makes zeugma more than simply a stylistic device—are in fact metaphorical structures that are highly conventionalized in Latin's semantic system. In tapping into symbolic associations that are deeply entrenched in the language and thought of Latin speakers, zeugma therefore provided a ready-made device for constructing arguments in context.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of stylistic figures employed to increase the effectiveness of social advertising. The purpose was to describe the figures of speech that are most often used when developing the argumentation of messages. The material was collected from various media banks on the Internet by a continuous sampling method. We have analyzed environmental social advertising posters, more than 4,000 units in total. Stylistic figures are traditionally classified into the figures of addition, omission, transposition, and comparison. The figures of addition in social advertising are represented by various forms of repetitions; the most actively used is anaphora, which helps the author of the text to emphasize the main idea of the message. The figures of addition clarify what has been said, they are a noticeable means of enhancing the expression of the text. Omission figures are much more common. This group includes ellipsis (the most frequent of all the described figures), asyndeton, aposiopesis. The main function of transposition figures is to facilitate assimilation of the thesis of the message: they are mainly employed to place logical accents, required for understanding the thesis of the message. They are divided into symmetrical (chiasm, inversion, parallelism) and asymmetric (parcellation, paronomasia). Comparison figures constitute more than a third of the total number of the figures found, which shows their high popularity on social advertising posters. They are represented in social advertising by identity (periphrasis), contrast (antithesis), alogism (amphiboly), and gradation. This group includes antithesis, which is considered the most frequent and important figure for social advertising since basic alternatives of groups, clusters, rubrics are based on antithesis. The special argumentative value of this figure is that antithesis makes it possible to double the declared attribute, by not only approving the correct behavior model but also simultaneously condemning the wrong one. That is why almost all forms of the antithesis construction are presented in social advertising: alloyosis, acrothesis, paradiastole, etc.

Balinese literature reflects numerous philosophical and spiritual concepts to live in harmony within the social and natural environment. Instead of identifying and describing the types of figurative speech, this study determined whether the figure of speech in Balinese literature reflected the education formation within Eco-cultural sustainability. Through a qualitative approach Balinese simile, metaphor, analogy, and personification found in 51 stanzas written in 7 lines to 10 lines were collected by a note-taking technique to know the dominant use of the figure of speech, characteristics, and education values. Each expression was analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that Balinese literature under investigation was composed of 42% comparative figures, 36% contradictive figures, and 22% correlative figures. Simile and metaphor were mostly expressed in Sampik Ingtai and the contradictive figure including hyperbole and irony took the second place. However, the number of animals, nature, and plants used as comparative words-object are rare and nearly extinct. This study enhanced a model of Ecocultural pedagogy to actualize character education for students’ social care and respect for the environment.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is based on a content analysis of the curriculum for the subject Serbian Language for grades 1-4 of primary school, the purpose of which was to determine to what extent the elements of the curriculum regulating the teaching and learning of figures of speech in the first four grades of primary school are in accordance with contemporary insights into the learning abilities of children of this age, and into the importance of figures of speech for learning. An analysis of the content of the reformed curriculum has shown that the enabling of students to understand the role that figures of speech play in a literary work begins in the third grade of primary school, and that instruction only focuses on two figures, namely, simile and personification. The levels of knowledge specified in the syllabus outcomes include knowledge of the instruction content pertaining to these figures, understanding of this content and its application in the course of analyzing a literary work. Learning about figures of speech is gradual, but there is some inconsistency in terms of the relationship of outcomes-content-instructions from grade to grade. It is not enough for instruction about figures of speech to be limited to only two figures, since understanding of the role of figures of speech is an important segment in the interpretation of literary works and helps improve students' language skills. In addition, work on figures of speech can represent the starting point for internal integration linking literature and stylistics instruction to language, i.e. grammar instruction. It is therefore suggested that enabling students to identify figures of speech in a literary work and to understand their role should start in the second grade of primary school, and that the number of figures of speech that students learn about in the first four grades should be increased.

Poetry, a form of literature, displays varieties of language use through figures of speech, the rhetorical devices. There are two views for and against the use of such rhetorical devices in language teaching. One of the views shows its strong resentment in using such figures of speech and does not find the space of them in language teaching whereas the next speaks in favour of using them in language teaching if the texts are wisely selected. It is the judicious or creative use of figures of speech. A language teacher tries to look at them from language teaching point of view. This writing primarily analyzes the representative figures of speech, states some examples with their language features and ultimately justifies how figures of speech support language teaching and learning.

En este artículo, a partir de figuras retóricas, se describen las distintas formas de lo risible en las canciones de la banda de música urbana Calle 13. Para ello, se revisó los cuatro álbumes de la banda, los sencillos y los trabajos en colaboración, y se seleccionaron algunas canciones en las que predomina lo risible. El análisis permitió agrupar las canciones en tres líneas temáticas: la sátira social, la tiraera y la imagen corporal del hombre y la mujer, desde allí se interpretaron las formas de lo risible y las figuras retóricas. Entre las formas de lo risible predominan la sátira, la ironía, lo cómico y lo humorístico, y las figuras que las sustentan son, principalmente, el símil, la metáfora, la aliteración, la metonimia y la rima.Palabras clave: Formas de lo risible, canciones, Calle 13, figuras retóricas, música urbana.

Full textAbstract:
Figures of speech are imaginative tools in both literature and ordinary communication used for explaining speech beyond its usual usage. Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (1847) – the only novel written by this writer - differs from many other literary works due to its style, its particular use of language and figures of speech. The literary tool and figure of speech we have illustrated in the present paper is the simile. Emily Brontë uses simile as a means both to creatively and purposefully convey her thoughts and ideas to the reader and to impact him/her. The literary analysis shows that the simile is also an excellent device for the author to make an unusual thing seem more familiar or a familiar thing seem more unique. Through simile the reader may imagine vividly the fictive world of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.

Difficulties in translating figures of speech should not be allowed to occur for a long time. There must be an effort to solve the problem immediately. Introducing electronic devices to facilitate the translation of figures of speech in the form of a transtool is an important effort to do. One of the efforts is to use the E-Litrans Tool as an electronic device that can improve the quality of the figures of speech translation. This trans tool was tested in experimental research of translating figures of speech from Indonesian to English and vice versa. Three figures of speech, metaphor, simile, and personification, were focused to analyze in this research because they are more widely used in everyday life in the Indonesian context. The three types of figures of speech are arranged into a set of test items, each consisting of 5 pieces so that there are 15 figures of speech. One set of test items was given to the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group consisted of 22 students while the control group consisted of 25 students. All of these students came from translation classes that we taught. The experimental group was treated using the E-Litrans Tool in translating figures of speech, while the control group was not. Based on the research results, it was known that the E-Litrans Tool was able to significantly improve the translation quality of the experimental group. The average translation quality score of the experimental group after using the E-Litrans Tool increased from 60.2 to 95.8. It means that there was an increase in the average value of 35.6. So the overall mean score of their translation quality is 78.36. The translation quality for the control group that did not use the E-Litrans Tool was insignificant and dropped drastically. The mean pretest and posttest scores were 56.88 and 55.84 or the overall mean score of their translation quality was 56.4 without the progress, even dropped decreasingly up to 1.04. It can be concluded that E-Litrans Tool increased the figures of speech translation quality scores significantly. Therefore, we suggest that translators can use the E-Litrans Tool to improve the quality of their figures of speech translation results.

Full textAbstract:
Compound figures of speech, such as hyperbolic metaphors, ironic metaphors and ironic hyperboles, have been investigated from several points of view, but the complexity of the phenomena is such that a thorough explanation is still lacking. This contribution will be focused on ironic metaphors. It will be suggested that a plausible explanation of their process of interpretation can be found within the framework of Conceptual Integration Networks. Specifically, two alternative proposals are discussed. The first one is in line with two-stage theories of figurative language comprehension, as it describes the interpretation of the compound as a blending of a blending. The second one analyses emergent meanings on a probabilistic base, as in constraint-satisfaction models of irony, which are consistent with one-stage theories. Finally, an interpretation of the empirical results obtained in previous studies is provided.

This paper proposes to investigate the theory of Gricean (1975, 1989) Figure of Speech within the framework of conversational implicatures in the dialogues of a very popular Manipuri Radio play. The Gricean figure of speech exploits or flouts the first maxim i.e. known as maxims of quality. In these maxims exploitation, he subsumes metaphor, irony, hyperbole and meiosis into implicatures as particularized implicatures to convey non-literal meaning. At the same time, in the figure of speech, he reconciled the implied meanings through his maxims and sub-maxims.It reveals divergence of meanings in language use, particularly in the study of dialogues in the play. When he reconciled the maxims of quality in various figures of speech, he flouted the maxims of truthfulness.

Full textAbstract:
Melengkan is a custom in the plateau of Gayo performed at a wedding expressed in poetical, lyrical or proverbial form. The study is aimed at identifying the types and uses of figures of speech in Melengkan of Gayo wedding supported by the concept of figures of speech proposed by Kosasih (2007). The data were collected through observation and a video-recording of the traditional Gayo wedding. as well as interviews with melengkan performers under descriptive qualitative method (Best, 1982). The figures of speech used in Melengkan also reflect the cultural value of Gayo community with points of local wisdom. The findings showed that there were four classifications of figures of speech: Comparison, Substitution, Addition or Amplification, and Omission or suppression used in Melengkan. The cultural values of Melengkan are for remembrance of local wisdom, warnings from customary philosophy, religion, and also for giving advice and recalling the history and beauty of Melengkan speech. The context of using Melengkan is to perpetuate and reflect cultural values, namely, politeness, respect, speaking softly, friendliness and resoluteness. These findings imply the importance of conserving Melengkan as a part of the Gayo culture in every part of life.

Contrastive Studies of Pun in Figures of Speech. Pun as a figure of speech uses a word or phrase to get two meanings: literal meaning and connotation meaning so as to achieve humorous or sarcastic sense. There are many similarities between English and Chinese but in many ways they are different, while people always subconsciously consider them as equal and use them in any occasions. To solve these problems, this thesis solves them through the contrastive study of English and Chinese rhetorical figure-pun. By analyzing and comparing English and Chinese puns in some typical sentences and dialogues through semantic, pragmatic, cultural perspectives, partial tone, forms, meanings and so on. This thesis show that pun between English and Chinese exists lots of similarities and differences from different perspectives. Through all the endeavors done in this thesis, a better understanding of both languages and cultures, and smoother translation would be obtained. Whats more, people can use puns in English and Chinese languages properly so as to eliminate unnecessary misunderstandings when communicating with others.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
Ill seen, ill said, ill done, ill written, ill loved, ill heard. Against the old style, whose happy days are gone, Beckett's "figures" – that is, ways of being and saying – shape a language that deliberately denies all social and speech conventions. Excluded characters and figures behind the language assert themselves against all laws and rules. This article intends to show this feature while justifying the comparison between Beckett's and Kafka's works: we will also underline a difference between Kafka's "trial" – and process – of language and the reluctance of Beckett's characters.

Abstract. This research aims to identify the expressive speech act and its felicity condition uttered by high-profile figures. It specifically attempts to recognize the types of expressive speech act, the intended meaning of those expressive speech act types, and their felicity conditions. The qualitative method was applied to accomplish those study objectives. The data were high-profile figures’ utterances collected from covid-19 related news on an online news site (https://www.merdeka.com/). This research focuses on the expressive speech acts since they are also known as evaluative speech acts. Moreover, analyzing expressive speech acts uttered by public figures in covid-19 related news may give insight on how the Indonesia’s government manage covid-19 cases. The results confirm that the utterances taken from that site fulfilled some types of expressive speech act, namely praising, thanking, deploring, lamenting, congratulating, and flattering. The intended meaning of those types of expressive speech act are determined by interpreting the speakers’ intention based on the context. Furthermore, the felicity condition of each expressive speech act type is discovered by conducting four formulas, which are preparatory condition, propositional content, sincerity condition, and essential condition. These formulas determine the validity of the utterances. Thus, people reading the news can refer that the utterances are not hoaxes. Keywords: Expressive Speech Act, Felicity Condition, Covid-19, Public Figures

Full textAbstract:
Controversial cartoons appearing in contemporary news and social media are periodically denounced by consumers for hate speech, and argued over in blogs, reader comments and news articles. Visual and verbal discourse analysts could contribute useful insights to such debates and to awareness raising programmes for addressing hate speech issues in cartoons, but to date have produced little work on the topic. This paper addresses the difficult question of how we distinguish between legitimate satire and hate speech in controversial cartoons about real events featuring public figures belonging to groups with a history of discrimination. The paper proposes that key considerations in this endeavour are the distinction between conceptual and narrative representations and the relevant participant role(s) assigned to the public figure in question (Kress & Van Leeuwen, 2006). The latter’s construal as being, doing or undergoing in the visual structure constrains the options for their evaluation. The evaluations are analysed using visual analogues of the verbal appraisal framework (Martin & White, 2005; Economou, 2009; Swain 2012; White, 2014). It is argued that negative evaluations based on representations of the public figure’s real-life behaviour may more plausibly pass for legitimate satire, whereas those based on the public figure’s appearance alone may be more susceptible to a hate speech interpretation.
