Words

Words in language may have two meanings,

one is literal and the other figurative.

 


The word revolution in French has thus two meanings.

 

1 - literally = Exactly as stated;

read or understood without additional interpretation;

not figurative or metaphorical.

 

2 - figurative = Not literal.

Of words in metaphorical usage,

such as 'pig' of a greedy person,

or metonymic, as 'crown' to mean the monarchy.
