This article provides a comprehensive analysis of simile as a key linguistic and stylistic device. It initiates the investigation by surveying scholarly definitions and perspectives to the simile with an emphasis on the essential markers that delineate simile. The analysis then progresses to exploring varied classifications of simile given by scholars, elucidating its cognitive, semantic, and stylistic functions, and outlines the structural component of it. A section of the paper is dedicated to the problem of differentiating simile from metaphor. It underscores that while both figures of speech involve comparison, simile employs explicit markers and maintains a degree of separation between two compared entities. Synthesized insights from cognitive linguistics, semantics, and stylistics contribute to a deeper understanding of how similes operate within language and how they diverge from metaphors in terms of their formal properties and interpretative processes. This interdisciplinary approach renders the article a valuable resource for scholars in linguistic and literary studies.
