Figurative Language: An introduction

I used Google to find a basic definition of ‘figurative language’. I found several articles that had comparable lists. I compiled those lists below. As I explore each term I will determine if they are actually figurative language by definition or if they have been placed together haphazardly. 

 All terms italicized  are not figurative language but are writing devices.

When words or phrases are used in a non-literal manner then those words or phrases become figurative language. 

After I complete researching, defining, and, refining the list above, my plan is to find examples of these things in published fantasy-fiction literature.
