The background of the study provides general information about the topic, problem formulation and objectives of the study. The approach of the study provides the description of samples and procedures of this research. A. Background Language is the most basic part of our life to communicate with each other. Goldstein (2008, p. 297) defines language as “a system of communication using sounds or symbols that enables us to express our feelings, thoughts, ideas, and experiences”. People take the use of language for granted in terms of daily conversations. Even with the ability to make a daily conversation each other, some people still find some difficulties in understanding the feelings, thoughts, ideas and experiences expressed in a language.

Instead, they choose some languages which need interpretation of the hearers to understand what the people mean. For instance, when a person went camping alone for a couple of nights, then his friends might say, in a figurative way, that he is as brave as a lion. That remark is an example of a figurative language. 1 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 2 Figurative languages are not only used in a conversation.
