| | The Standards |
| | Students apply knowledge of language structure, language conventions (e.g., spelling and punctuation), media techniques, figurative language, and genre to create, critique, and discuss print and non-print texts. | | | Students whose first language is not English make use of their first language to develop competency in the English language arts and to develop understanding of content across the curriculum. | | | The vision guiding these standards is that all students must have the opportunities and resources to develop the language skills they need to pursue life's goals and to participate fully as informed, productive members of society. |

| | Figurative language is especially useful when an author wants to evoke the emotions of his or her readers, but, literal language is especially useful when an author wants to present concrete ideas or facts to his or her readers; each type of style has its purpose. | | | Namely, in her essay Macho Perri Klass uses extended metaphors reflected in figurative language; her metaphors combine the idea that a disease is the enemy, and that doctors are fighting a war. | | | Third, in figurative language, authors repeat sentences or words, change the order of words, and use rhetorical questions. |

| | Figurative language, such as metaphor, metonymy, idioms and so on, is pervasive in normal discourse, but the source meaning of a word being used metaphorically is often far removed from the intended, target, meaning. | | | We therefore have three different approaches to the lexicon and the problems that figurative language poses for word-sense disambiguation, and the major theme of this workshop is to explore means for tackling these problems, particularly means that could be used in practical NLP applications. | | | The relationship between discourse issues and figurative language, such as the interaction of anaphora and metonymy has been addressed in the past, but more studies are needed using other types of figurative language such as metaphor. |

| | Grammar, Rhetoric, Style, and Figurative Language |
| | FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE involves the purposeful distortion of language, the use of nonliteral constructions which delight the mind or make us think about what a writer is getting at. | | | The difficulty of figurative language can be overcome when we discover that all figures of speech are actually based on comparison and contrast. | | | Another reason many people are frightened of figurative language is that many of the names are Latin or Greek and very difficult to pronounce or spell. |

| | While such "indirect" language may seem on the surface to be less effective than straightforward language, figurative devices often help a writer or speaker to connect with an audience by conveying emotional qualities, suggesting nuances of meaning, or just simply putting a fact or emotion in understandable terms.. | | | Rather, it appears that he is using metaphor, a type of figurative language in which a writer or speaker compares two otherwise unlike things, implying that one actually is the other. | | | Unlike literal language, which means exactly what it says, figurative language often requires the reader or listener to make imaginative leaps. |
