Thai Kingdom StudyName:Institution:Course:Date:Thai Kingdom Study Thailand is one of the most famous countries in Asia. Despite of the small size of the country it is well-known for its beauty and unique culture. Different cultures have a way of communication and in Thailand one of such ways is metaphor usage to facilitate messages effectively. With the concept of the Thai kingdom, the use of metaphors was used to express the Thai culture. Different cultures have different uses for metaphors. In most of them metaphors are used in the literature world while writing books. The use of metaphors heavily depends on the languages that are spoken by the nations. In the Thai Kingdom, people mainly use the native language, and therefore, metaphors are widely used. The kingdom is well-known for posing rich history in the use of metaphors in different areas in the community. The metaphors’ purpose lies in facilitating the manner in which exchange of ideas is done (Peleggi, 2012). Metaphors form a core platform where the nationalists can communicate and converse on some issues. In the Thailand culture, metaphors have been used in poetry and in songs. In poetry, metaphors have been used to describe love. Love is one of the most interesting topics that many song writers have worked on. A good love poem always has an emotional background and it is supposed to express the message directly to the reader. The poet therefore has to apply the use of the various stylistic devices to get the point home (Peleggi, 2012).
It is not a wonder that poets prefer to mainly rely on the use of metaphors to express the themes in their poems. Metaphors help to support the poetic language by creating comprehensive rhetorical situations. A research showed that the use of metaphors helps to make sure that the reader gets a clear emotional feeling and to make sure that they also get an imagination widen that cannot be achieved through an ordinary language. In the songs, for instance, metaphors are used by song writers to express words with a deeper meaning. In most cases, some of the song lyrics are dirty and explicit, and therefore, they need to use language that is acceptable to everyone. To achieve this, the song writers the metaphors to hide the unwanted information. In Thailand culture, metaphors are also used to pass information. The metaphors have an inner meaning and this makes it easy for the people to use them to communicate hidden messages. For instance, when the aged are communicating to the young people, they mostly use the metaphors due to their ability to pass rich information in a simplified way. The aged also use metaphors to communicate with each other. In most cases, most of the aged people know metaphoric language much better than the youth, and therefore it is easy for them to communicate (Pallegoix, 2013).
