A '''figure of speech''' is a use of a word that diverges from its normal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it such as a metaphor, simile, or personification. In the UNL framework, figures of speech are divided into two main categories:

*'''[[Scheme]]s''' are figures of speech that change the ordinary or expected pattern of words (such as ellipsis, pleonasm, apposition, etc);
*'''[[Trope]]s''' are figures of speech that change the general meaning of words (such as irony, euphemism, hyperbole, etc).

In the UNL approach, schemes and tropes are to be represented by [[attribute]]s.
