Metaphor is
a figure of speech that makes an implicit, implied, or hidden comparison between two things that are
unrelated, but which share some common characteristics
.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to make a comparison, but in a way different from a simile. Instead, it
makes the description of an object look as if it was literally true. In other words, it can be said that a metaphor is
an implied comparison. It makes a comparison between things or ideas that are generally unlike.

Lexico-syntactical Stylistic Devices: Simile
Lexico-syntactical stylistic devices (LSSD) are based on the binary opposition of lexical features of analogy and
contrast and united by the syntactical feature of recurrence:.
Simile is a figure of speech based on similarity of
objects belonging to different semantic groups:
“A style without metaphor and simile is to me like a day without
the sun, or woodland without birds” (Lucas) “
Sometimes she seemed invisible like peace” (Gr.Green)
Simile consists of 3 components:
1.
tenor (
the object, which is compared);
2.
vehicle (the object or the notion, with which
tenor is being compared;
3.
tertium comparationis ( the
basis of comparison, the group of words, having
the qualities of both
components:
tenor and vehicle). “

Periphrasis is the use of a longer phrase with descriptive epithets instead of a short and simple form of expressing
the same thought.
