What is Understanding Figures of Speech about?

A figure of speech is a literary device that uses language in an unusual or "figured" way to produce a stylistic effect. Figures of speech can be broken into two main groups: tropes, which play with the ordinary meaning of words, and schemes, which play with the ordinary arrangement or pattern of words. Some common tropes are metaphor, simile, oxymoron, and hyperbole, while schemes include alliteration, ellipsis, and parallelism. Figures of speech have been studied and categorized since ancient times.
