hyperbole
Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis ( "growth"). In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes, evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually not meant to be taken literally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hyperbole )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Hyperbole )〕
==Usage==
Hyperbole may also be used for instances of such exaggerations for emphasis or effect. Hyperboles are often used in casual speech as intensifiers,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Definition of Hyperbole )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hyperbole - Definition of hyperbole by Merriam-Webster )〕 such as saying "the bag weighed a ton". Hyperbole makes the point that the speaker found the bag to be extremely heavy, although it was nothing like a literal ton.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Hyperbole )〕 Understanding hyperboles and their use in context can further one's ability to understand the messages being sent from the speaker. It has been established that use of hyperboles relays emotions. They can be used in a form of humour, excitement, distress, and many other emotions, all depending on the context in which the speaker uses it.
