Figurative Language VS Literal Language
More on Literal To be literal is to mean what you say. For example: My meaning is exactly what I say. If I tell you to sit down! I mean it literally: “sit down,” as in: “sit in your seat now, please.” Joyet 2004
and more on Literal Here’s another example. I’m tired and going home. I mean exactly what I say. This means “I’m tired and I’m going home” there is no other meaning other than what is said. Joyet 2004
Figurative To be figurative is to not mean what you say but imply something else. I’m not suggesting we get into the freezer. For example: If, I tell you: “let’s go chill!” Joyet 2004
Figurative continued “let’s go chill” … It has nothing to do with temperature. …means let’s relax together and do something fun. Joyet 2004
