Language reflects the spirit of a nation, and its richness determines the nation's strength and invincibility. Periphrases, as linguistic devices, enhance expressiveness and clarity, providing figurative descriptions that convey the essence of concepts in a vivid manner. Derived from the Greek word “paraphrasis”, meaning “figurative expression”, periphrases are widely used in literature, daily communication, and specific fields such as agriculture. This paper explores the concept of periphrases, their types, and their functions. Special attention is given to metaphorical periphrasis and its role in creating impactful metaphors in both linguistic and agricultural contexts. Examples from literature and daily speech illustrate how periphrases enrich the stylistic quality of communication. The study highlights the significant presence of periphrases in fiction, journalism, and agricultural terminology, emphasizing their importance in enhancing expressiveness and cultural depth.
