This lecture introduces figurative language or "figures of speech"--including metaphor, simile, and personification--and provides examples of their use in everyday, literary, and academic writing.  The lecture is offered here in three different formats: video with captions, video without captions, and a text transcript.

This lecture defines and distinguishes between abstract and concrete language, explaining how to use both effectively in composition.

An instructor resource to accompany The Word on College Reading and Writing, which is an open educational resource (OER) for developing college readers and writers.
