Abstract
Figurative language is defined as a means to express something beyond ordinary language in a meaningful and deeper way. This implies an understanding of the relationship between meaning and sentences, as well as which sentences contain meaning and which do not. This research provides information about the figurative language found on Poetryfoundation.org. This research focuses on 12 types of figurative language with three classifiers themed around the environment. Because the researcher wants to see how many types of figurative language are used. The purpose of this research is to determine how many types of figurative language such as personification, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, litotes, paradox, irony, metonymy, synecdoche, allusion, and ellipsis are used. The data in this study were taken from 10 poems selected from the Poetryfoundation.org website. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. To conduct this research, the metaphor theory method by Kenedy and Gioia (1995) was used.
