Figurative language refers to expressions that convey meanings beyond the literal interpretation of words. Common types include similes, which compare two things using "like" or "as"; metaphors, which imply direct comparisons; personification, which attributes human qualities to non-human entities; and hyperbole, which uses exaggerated statements for effect. Other forms include imagery, which creates vivid mental pictures, and idioms, which are phrases with meanings that differ from their literal words. These devices enhance writing by adding depth and creativity to language.
