- Title
THE RIDDLES WITH METAPHORS.
- Authors
E. A., Aliyeva
- Abstract
As a means of passing knowledge from one generation to another riddles represent a very early means of literary expression. They served a definite function in rites associated with numerous events in the life of society. Riddles are generally short, puzzle-like poems in which the reader is invited to identify an object, which is described in a mysterious and sometimes playful way. The article focuses on to analyze riddles based on metaphor. Metaphor is the vital feature of riddles. The image is often stated as a metaphor. Metaphors give a riddle an ambiguity that derives from the juxtaposition of different things, or from a paradox, or more widely an unrealistic latent image.
