'''Literal''' and figurative [[language]] is a distinction in [[traditional]] [[systems]] for analyzing language. Literal language refers to [[words]] that do not deviate from their defined [[meaning]]. Figurative language refers to words, and [[groups]] of words, that exaggerate or alter the usual meanings of the component words. Figurative language may involve [[analogy]] to similar [[concepts]] or other [[contexts]], and may involve exaggerations. These alterations result in figures of speech.
