Description

1. INTRODUCTION: FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE IS COGNITION, IN WHICH THERE IS AESTHETIC APPRECIATION Figurative language, as an essential means of semantic rhetoric, not only transcends its notional meaning in form but also goes beyond its literal meaning in semantics. Figurative language is considered as a language device to integrate language and human logic thinking. For both English and Chinese, the existence and effect of figurative language is all-round penetrating into the fields of social life, language and culture, politics, religion, technology and economy, etc. Then what's figurative language? Edward P.J. Corbett defines it as "an implied comparison between two things of unlike nature that yet have something in common ..." J.A. Cuddon defines it as "a figure of speech in which one thing is described in terms of another." So we can say figurative language is a way to seek for the similarities between 2 things, by which to describe something new by virtue of something we already knew.
