👉 In linguistics, a "figurative language" is one that employs figurative language to convey meaning. It is characterized by the use of words and phrases that have no literal meaning but are used metaphorically or semantically. For example, "beautiful" can be understood as both "pretty" (meaning physical appearance) and "wonderful" (meaning pleasant or desirable). This type of language often requires more complex syntax and employs figurative structures to convey deeper meanings.
