2.1 Diviations

SEMANTIC DEVIATION
 1. Transference of meaning

Simile  



    Simile, a figure of speech, describes one thing as another using such words “like” or “as”. Simile also has the power of making language visual and vivid.









  This kind of metaphor is more known as personification, which endows with humanity to non-human beings.





Dehumanizing Metaphor    Interpretation for this kind is opposite to humanizing metaphor, a figure of speech in which one thing is described as another without the use of “like” or “as”.

2.Honest Deception

Hyperbole 

  Hyperbole means exaggerated statement which gives readers deep impression.



Understatement 

  Being opposite to hyperbole, understatement is used to make something less important or smaller than it really is.

Irony


    Is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or situation in which there is a sharp incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident intention of words or actions.
