A figure of speech or rhetorical figure[1] is figurative language in the form of a single word or phrase.
It can be a special repetition, arrangement or omission of words with
literal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the
literal meaning of the words.[dubious ]
Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or
clarity. However, clarity may also suffer from their use, as any figure
of speech introduces an ambiguity between literal and figurative
interpretation.
