Definitions and Meaning of simile in English

simile noun

  1. a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds (usually formed with `like' or `as')

Description

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. Similes differ from metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things using comparison words such as "like", "as", "so", or "than", while metaphors create an implicit comparison. This distinction is evident in the etymology of the words: simile derives from the Latin word similis, while metaphor derives from the Greek word metapherein. As in the case of metaphors, the thing that is being compared is called the tenor, and the thing it is being compared to is called the vehicle. Author and lexicographer Frank J. Wilstach compiled a dictionary of similes in 1916, with a second edition in 1924.

ഒരു പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട അർത്ഥാലങ്കാരമാണ്‌ ഉപമ. ഒരു കാര്യത്തെ മറ്റൊന്നുമായി സാദൃശ്യപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന വാക്യപ്രയോഗങ്ങളെയാണ്‌ ഉപമ എന്നു പറയുന്നത്. ലീലാ തിലകകാരന്റെ അഭിപ്രായത്തിൽ "സാദൃശ്യമുപമാ" സാദൃശ്യമാണ് ഉപമ എന്നർഥം പക്ഷേ ചില വൈയ്യാകരണന്മാരുടെ അഭിപ്രായത്തിൽ സാധർമ്യം ആണ് ഉപമ. 'സാദൃശ്യം ആണ് ഉപമ ' എന്ന് മാത്രം പറഞ്ഞാൽ 'കുടപോലെ കറുത്ത കാക്ക .' എന്ന സ്ഥലത്ത് ഉപമാലങ്കാരം ആണെന്ന് പറയേണ്ടിവരും. സുന്ദരമായ സാദൃശ്യമുള്ള സ്ഥലത്ത് മാത്രമേ ഉപമാലങ്കാരം വരൂ എന്നതാണ് അഭിജ്ഞമതം. 'സാദൃശ്യം സുന്ദരം വാക്യാർത്ഥോപസ്കാരകം ഉപമാലങ്കൃതിഃ ' എന്നാണ് ജഗന്നാഥപണ്ഡിതരാജൻ ലക്ഷണം നൽകിയത്. അപ്പയ്യദീക്ഷിതരാകട്ടെ "ഉപമാ യത്ര സാദൃശ്യലക്ഷ്മീരുല്ലസതി ദ്വയോഃ " എന്നും നിർവ്വചിക്കുന്നു.
