Abstract

ABSTRACT Figurative language or non-literal meaning is part of language that uses words to mean something different from their ordinary meaning in order to emphasize an idea. Rozakis said that “figurative language – saying one thing in terms of another”. It means that figurative language is an expression used by person or the author indirectly by using the comparison.It cannot be interpreted literally because the comparison in figurative language expression has the meaning. Furthermore, Abrams explained that “Figurative language is a deviation from what speakers of a language apprehend as the o rdinary or standard, significance or sequence of words, in order to achieve some special meaning or effect.” By this explanation, it can be said that this expression is different from the language that we use that in daily life. According to explanation above, Figurative language is one of the language styles that are often used in everyday life. Usually, figurative language is used to describe something, from the nature of a person or thing to a physical form. This style of language is often used in everyday conversation or in writing.
