Abstract

This paper examines the linguistic foundations of artistic or figurative language devices used in literary discourse. Elements such as metaphor, metonymy, symbolism, epithet, irony, and hyperbole form the basis of expressive and imaginative language. The study outlines their semantic, cognitive, and stylistic functions and traces major historical perspectives on their interpretation. By analyzing classical and modern linguistic theories, the article highlights the complex and layered nature of figurative language and its contribution to the creation of artistic meaning.
