👉 Unliteralness is a concept in linguistics that refers to the absence of literal meaning or literal interpretation. In other words, it is the absence of any direct or explicit reference or description of a word's intended meaning or usage within its context. In everyday language and conversation, unliteral terms are often used to describe something that does not carry specific literal meanings or interpretations, such as "the sun" or "a book." These terms are often used in place of their literal counterparts to avoid confusion
