Welcome to the Just-in-Time module on Metaphors!

Course Description

Just-in-Time modules are based on articles in translationAcademy The topics are designed to meet specific needs and difficulties for those who are translating the Bible.

This module on metaphors prepares a translator to identify metaphors correctly, to label the parts of a metaphor correctly, and to discern the best way to translate metaphors into other languages.

Figures of speech exist in every culture and language, including the original languages for the Bible. Metaphor is a specific type of figure of speech that exists in modern English and biblical languages. In this course, you will learn what a metaphor is and how to identify one. You will also be able to determine if your native language uses metaphors as a figure of speech.

Let’s begin with a review of figures of speech. If you have not taken our module “Introduction to Figures of Speech,” please complete that first. You’ll find the link for the course here.
