What is a Object of metaphor speech?

"Object of metaphor speech" isn't a standard term in rhetoric or literary analysis. It sounds like you might be looking for the definition of "tenor" in metaphor.

Here's how it works:

* Metaphor: A figure of speech where a word or phrase is applied to an object or concept to which it is not literally applicable. It creates an imaginative comparison.

* Tenor: The actual subject of the metaphor, the thing being described.

* Vehicle: The image or concept used to describe the tenor.

Example:

* Metaphor: "The man is a lion."

* Tenor: The man is the actual subject being described.

* Vehicle: The lion is the image used to describe the man.

So, instead of "object of metaphor speech," think of it as the thing being compared.

If you could provide more context or an example of what you're trying to describe, I might be able to provide a more specific answer.
