Abstract
In all rhetorical devices, “oxymoron” is just a very common figure of speech in traditional views, and it has never entered the mainstream of academic studies. However, people facilitate the study of figurative language and give spacious room for the study. As is known to all, the traditional approaches to study figures of speech are quite outdated and there many shortcomings in them. So it is necessary to seek new perspectives to update the study. From the study of figures of speech, there is a very special figure which is different from those figures which have been devotedly studied. The special figure is “oxymoron”. Even through it does not appear frequently in languages as other rhetorical devices, oxymoron stands for another special sort of figurative language. Thus, the author tries to explore oxymoron and its application in some literary works. First of all, this paper will present its definitions and structures, which are also the necessary premise of the study. And then, this paper will give the historical and contemporary study stating from the aspects of literature. So it gives the historical and subjective basis for the later generations. This paper will study the application of oxymoron in literary works from the literal perspectives, and we can find that the universal signification in language and human cognition may be beyond our current level. Therefore, great efforts need to be made for the study of oxymoron.
