Differences between literal and figurative language

 

By Russell Le Masters

As an amateur grammarian. I prefer the traditional figurative language over the modern literal sentence structure of the noun, subject, object and verb format. Because of it our language is dying.  Let me give you two different examples. Our hope is in Jesus Christ our Savior. Our palm tree is in Lord Soter. The first one is literal and without imagination. The sentence has controversy but not in the wordsmith department. The second is figurative as the word palm tree means death, hope and paradise. Soter means salvation, Jesus Christ, and savior. The second sentence can be open for interpretation and discussion in both fields as i mentioned before. The mechanics of the language is open to familiar version of the language. Grammarian order structure: 1. family 2. church 3. state

There is more to it. But the time is not right now reveal my plans.
