Abstract: The degree of study and significance of lexical literary devices are carried out in the given article. The essential aspects of lexical devices and information about numerous methods of investigating and studying them are discussed. Terms belonged to the lexical level of the language and the analyses of lexical devices given by several dictionaries of literary terms and sources are explained in the article. In this article we would like to refer to different approaches on study of literary terms of figurative language, more preciously on lexical stylistic devices. There are many types of figurative language, including literary devices such as simile, metaphor, personification and many others. The definition of figurative language is opposite to that of literal language, which involves only the “proper” or dictionary definitions of words. Figurative language usually requires the reader or listener to understand some extra nuances, context and allusions in order to understand the second meaning.
