Language is symbolic?

In: Languages and Cultures [Edit categories]

Answer:

Absolutley! Language is HIGHLY symbolic. Authors write using things like metonymy and euphemisms to represent their feelings about something, or underlying ideas. Symbols are a language in and of themselves. If you're struggling with the symbolism of a piece, instead of looking for what the author means, look at how the writer writes.
Hope this helped
