Subclasses[edit]
I added the following items as subclasses of figure of speech and I traced each subclass claim to Britannica or encyclopedia.com:
- metaphor
- metonymy
- synecdoche
- personification
- oxymoron
Not sure whether someone wanted to have a different order of classification, but this one is supported by the two sources.

Not sure how Wikidata deals with classification redundancies. I went ahead with the assumption that if I can trace my classification to a good source, I am fine. Dan Polansky (talk) 09:23, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
Defining label and authority[edit]
The defining English label is "figure of speech", authority-controlled e.g. by Britannica. The label should not be changed without a discussion. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:33, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
