No.
Dialect is not figurative language. Dialect refers to the way a language is spoken in a particular region or by a specific group of people, while figurative language uses words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation.
If you are referring to "a severe mall habit" an example of figurative language might be "shopaholic."
Literal language is fully factual. Figurative language is full of comparisons and not-blatantly-true language. Literal: Your eyes are blue. Your hair is light red. Figurative: Your eyes are like the deep blue ocean after a storm. Your hair burns with the fire of the sun.
A language that uses imagery and comparisons to make a statement is called figurative language. This type of language includes similes, metaphors, personification, and hyperbole to create vivid descriptions and convey deeper meaning. Figurative language is commonly used in literature, poetry, and everyday communication to enhance the impact of the message.
Figurative language is used to create vivid imagery or evoke an emotional response. Examples include metaphors, similes, personification, and hyperbole. To use figurative language in a sentence, you can compare two unrelated things, give human qualities to non-human things, or exaggerate for emphasis.
