literal meaning and figurative language

Sagot :

Literal and figurative language is a distinction within some fields of languageanalysis, in particular stylistics, rhetoric, and semantics.Literal language uses words directly according to their proper meanings(signified).Figurative (or non-literal) language uses words in figures of speech.
Literal meaning is the meaning literally.
Figurative language is like an idiom, or a figurative speech. :)
