English Comparisons In Cultural And Historical Context
Abstract
Comparison is one of the oldest and most expressive devices in the English language. It not only imbues speech with imagery and emotion but also reflects a national worldview, value system, and cultural characteristics. Each comparison carries a cultural and historical code—an echo of a particular era, beliefs, traditions, and social norms. This article examines the cultural and historical context of English similes, which allows for a deeper understanding of the development of the language, as well as the characteristics of English thought and imagery.
