What part of speech is figurative language?

Figurative language isn't a part of speech in itself. It's a literary device, a way of using language to create a particular effect.

Figurative language uses words or phrases in a non-literal way, often to create vivid imagery, emphasize meaning, or evoke emotions.

Examples of figurative language include:

* Similes: Comparisons using "like" or "as" (e.g., "The sky is like a blue blanket.")

* Metaphors: Comparisons that directly equate one thing to another (e.g., "The city is a jungle.")

* Personification: Giving human qualities to inanimate objects or animals (e.g., "The wind whispered secrets.")

* Hyperbole: Exaggeration for emphasis (e.g., "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.")

While figurative language uses words and phrases, it's not a classification of those words or phrases themselves. Instead, it's a technique for using them in a creative and impactful way.
