what is the meaning of the parts of sppch and the figures of speech and metion them all.

A Figure of Speech is where a word or words are used to create an effect, often where they do not have their original or literal meaning. Some of them are:

1. Alliteration (use of the same consonant at the beginning of each stressed syllable in a line of verse)

Example: "furrow followed free"

2. Repetition (the repeated use of the same word or word pattern)

Example: "alone, alone, all all alone..."

3. Personification (representing an abstract quality or idea as a person or creature)

Example: “Out of the sea came he!”

4. Simile (expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds usually formed with 'like' or 'as')

Example: “ like a three years' child.”

5. Irony (incongruity between what is expected and what occurs)

Example: “Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink.”

6. Metaphor (refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity)

Example: "Was tyrannous and strong"

7. Imagery is a description which evokes readers senses of sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste. Metaphors and similes are also considered as imagery.

For example, "I babble on the pebbles".


Parts of speech, on the other hand, explains what a word is or how it is used. There are eight parts of speech, i.e. verb, adjective, adverb, noun, pronoun, preposition, conjunction and interjection.
