What is a Language that uses imagery and comparisons to make a statement?

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.


Why is imagery considered figurative language?

Because figurative language is a metaphorical kind of language. It is full of symbols. Imagery is part of it because imagery is using words to make pictures. You can remember that imagery is a part of figurative language because the adjective "figurative" has the word "figure" within it. And what is a figure? An image. A picture. A model. A representation of something. The opposite of figurative is literal. Literal is fact, truth. It's not polished to sound pretty and it's not symbolic. It carries no "underlying meaning" that most figurative language does.


Language that mean something other than what it literally says is?

figurative.
