Metafora

Metafora adalah pemakaian kata atau kelompok kata bukan dengan arti yang sebenarnya, melainkan sebagai lukisan yang berdasarkan persamaan atau perbandingan. Metafora merupakan salah satu majas. Seperti halnya majazi dalam bab kata dan makna (ilmu logika), makna yang terkandung dalam majas metafora adalah suatu peletakan kedua dari makna asalnya, yaitu makna yang bukan menggunakan kata dalam arti sesungguhnya, melainkan sebagai kiasan yang berdasarkan persamaan dan perbandingan.

Contoh

1. Engkau belahan jantung hatiku sayangku.
2. Raja siang keluar dari ufuk timur.
3. Jonathan adalah bintang kelas dunia.
4. Raja malam telah keluar dari paraduannya.
