A description of an inanimate object as being a living person or animal as in: "The sun shone brightly down on me as if she was shining for me alone". In this example the sun is perceived as a real person, and referenced with the pronoun "she" rather than "it".

The act of personifying.

Example:The rug tripped me.

translation: when you give a non-human thing human qualities. something that it wouldn't normally do, as in "the wind whistling" the wind can't whistle. human trait: whistling- given to a non-human thing: wind.
