Abstract

This thesis explores the classification of stylistic devices, focusing 
on lexical stylistic devices, particularly the metaphor. Metaphor, as a figure of speech, 
holds a central position in linguistic studies due to its pervasive use in both everyday 
language and literary texts. The paper examines its types, functions, and significance 
in various communicative contexts.
