Figuration Is Fundamental To Our World, To Our Lives Figurative language uses words to invoke a deeper understanding of the message they carry. Figurative language compares, contrasts or associates words with the main aim of producing a deeper meaning out of a word or words, or a combination thereof. The use of plain words with normal meaning seldom invokes one’s attention and therefore might not draw their thoughts to understand deeper meanings or messages intended (Bennett, & Royle, 2014). However, the use of figurative language draws attention and hence invokes the reader’s mind to think deeply and understand ...
