Abstract

The systematic study of rhetorical figures involves the classification and system construction of rhetorical figures. This paper probes into the studies by Group µ, Cong, and Sutton & Mifsud, aiming at sketching how the study of rhetorical figures has developed from the system construction to its cognitive interpretation.
