Synopsis

Figurative Language: Its Origin and Constitution is a book written by Leo Hartley Grindon and published in 1851. The book explores the history and development of figurative language, which is the use of words and phrases in a non-literal way to create a particular effect. Grindon delves into the origins of figurative language and its use in various cultures, including the ancient Greeks and Romans, as well as in modern literature.The book also examines the different types of figurative language, such as metaphors, similes, personification, and hyperbole, and how they are used to convey meaning and emotion. Grindon provides examples of these literary devices from a wide range of sources, including poetry, prose, and everyday speech.In addition to discussing the origins and types of figurative language, Grindon also explores its constitution, or the way in which it is constructed. He examines the role of syntax, grammar, and other linguistic elements in creating effective figurative language.Overall, Figurative Language: Its Origin and Constitution is a comprehensive exploration of the history, development, and construction of figurative language. It is a valuable resource for students and scholars of literature, linguistics, and communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
