Similes, verbal art, literature, metaphoric similes, metonymic simileAbstract
The subject matter of the present article is the study of metaphoric simile as
an embodiment of the writer’s intention in verbal art. The study of verbal art in
very general lines brings us closer to the central question of the paper. The
problem of simile as a figure of speech is discussed and the attention is focused
on its realization in verbal art. "Metaphoric similes" are closely connected with the
global purport of the work and the intention of the writer. The study of the material
confirms that the category of literary simile as a stylistic figure very widely used in
verbal art is constituted by two categorial forms: "metaphoric simile" and
"metonymic simile" which are opposed to each other
