Assignment 2: Figurative Language verses Literal Language

These are my terms along with the definitions and example of each term. I will be describing the appropriate circumstances for using the example for each term and when it might lead to misunderstanding. * Idiom means a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words or a form of expression natural to a language, person, or group of people. An example of idiom is it runs in the family is shorter and more succinct than saying that a physical or personality trait is fairly common throughout one's extended family and over a number of generations. * (Gail Brenner, Webster's New World American Idioms Handbook. Webster's New World, 2003) * Analogy means A comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification. A correspondence or partial similarity. An example of analogy is Cameron's house is like a museum. It's very cold, and very beautiful, and you're not allowed to touch anything."
(Matthew Broderick as Ferris in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, 1986) * Metaphor means A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. A thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else, esp. something abstract. An example of a metaphor is The streets were a furnace, the sun an executioner."
(Cynthia Ozick, "Rosa") 1. Simile means A figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, (e.g., as brave as a lion). The use of such a method of comparison. An example of simile is she dealt with moral problems as a cleaver deals with meat. | | | * (James Joyce, "The Boarding House") * Cliché means platitude: a trite or obvious remark. An example of cliché is People say, 'I'm taking it one day at a time.' You know what? So is everybody. That's how time works."
(Comedian Hannibal Buress, 2011) * Amphiboly is the term attached to fallacies or deceptions that result from faulty or careless sentence structures. The carelessness may be intentional, as in the case of the title of the record album Best of the Beatles, which misled many people into buying it, thinking they were getting a record featuring the best songs of the Beatles. In fact what they had purchased was a record featuring Pete Best, who had been a member of the Beatles early in their career."
(S. Morris Engel, The Study of Philosophy. Rowman & Littlefield, 2002)A flame word is a word that is meant to insult another person, often electronically. Some examples are: stupid, incompetent, noob, etc. The Urban Dictonary defines "flame" as a word that means to insult someone electronically, or otherwise, and also to insult a person you are arguing with over the internet in hopes of reviving your argument. A flame is a form of a tirade usually directed at one specific individual but can be directed at a group as well. The flamer may be quite articulate and intelligent as they question the upbringing of the flamee. Hyperboles are exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. | | a deliberate exaggeration used for effect. An example of a hyperbole is he embraced her a thousand times. * Euphemism means A mild or indirect word or expression for one too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing. An example of euphemism is: Mr. Prince: We'll see you when you get back from image enhancement camp.
Martin Prince: Spare me your euphemisms! It's fat camp, for Daddy's chubby little secret!
("Kamp Krusty," The Simpsons, 1992) * Colloquialism means A word or phrase that is not formal or literary, typically one used in ordinary or familiar conversation. An example of the regional specificity of colloquialisms is the term used when referring to "soft drinks". In the Upper Midwestern United States and Canada, soft drinks are called "pop", whilst in other areas, notably the Northeastern and far Western United States, they are referred to as "soda". In some areas of Scotland, the term "ginger" is used. * These are all 10 terms with definitions and examples. I found definitions and examples using Wikipedia and grammar.com. | * * * * 1. * 1. * * 1. | | |
