Top Highlights

“The Lexham Figurative Language of the New Testament Dataset (FLD) solves this problem by providing a structured dataset of important figurative expressions in the New Testament.” (source)

“Figurative language typically consists of using a more concrete concept to construe a more abstract concept. There are a variety of figurative language categories including: Metaphor, Metonymy, Simile, Idiom, etc. Below you will find a hierarchy of figurative language categories used in this dataset, including definitions and examples for each category.” (source)

“Metaphor — An association between two conceptual domains where one abstract concept (nonphysical, unfamiliar, or less structured) is presented in terms of some other concrete concept (physical, familiar, or more structured).” (source)

“Idiom — An expression whose meaning cannot be deduced on the basis of its individual words or constituents.” (source)

“Providing a way for users to find instances of figurative Language throughout the New Testament” (source)
