LITERARY DEVICE is a linguistic technique that
produces a special effect when reading a literary piece.
This device can help readers in appreciating, interpreting,
and analysing a work of art.
Writers can also employ these techniques to make their
work achieve the aesthetic appeal so that readers can
enjoy the beauty of words.
1. Imagery
It is a concrete representation of an idea to convey the
message by using language that can evoke the five senses.
There are five types of imagery: olfactory imagery (sense of
smell), tactile imagery (sense of touch), visual imagery
(sense of sight), auditory imagery (sense of hearing), and
gustatory imagery (sense of taste).
For example, “stars that shine and twinkle on the milky way”
can let us think about the sense of sight thru the words
stars, shine, and twinkle.
2. Figure of Speech
Aside from imagery, another literary device that can be used
in literary piece is the figures of speech. It is also known as
figurative language because it creates figures or pictures in
the mind of the readers. It means something different from
what is usual. In the poem, “I wandered lonely as a cloud” is
an example of simile since it uses the word “as” in
comparing the writer to a cloud. Aside from simile, there are
plenteous kinds of figures of speech such as metaphor,
personification, synecdoche, oxymoron, litotes, irony,
hyperbole, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia and a lot
more.
3. Diction
Another device that can be used in reading a fiction is the
diction. Diction means the selection of words in a literary
work to convey action, reveal character, imply attitudes,
identify themes, and suggest values. It can be formal,
informal, colloquial, or slang.
4. Specific Experiences
Finally, another technique in appreciating the literary
work is to identify the specific experiences of the
writer and how the readers relate this experience to
their own lives. Through this specific experience, the
writer and reader interaction becomes alive and they
get connected to each other.
