By using language, we can describe our feelings, emotions, and thoughts easier than using other elements. Communication can be built if there is an understanding between speaker and the hearer to deliver something or ideas, we called it meaning. Meaning can be studied through scientific study of language is called linguistic. The branch of linguistics which deals with meaning is called semantics. In semantics, meaning is divided into two parts, literal meaning and non-literal meaning. Literal meaning is based on the actual words but it is another way round for non-literal meaning. The speaker means something different from his literal meaning of the words, he has another intention from the meaning of words he said. There are a number of ways in expressing ideas which deviate from the semantic conventions, some of which is metaphor. Metaphor is one part of figurative language which is the most common and widely used. It is an implicit comparison in which the intended idea is compared with another idea through a similarity or likeness of characteristics, qualities or attributes between the two ideas. Matthews (1997:224) defined metaphor as, “figure of speech in which a word or expression normally used of one kind of object, action, etc. is extended to another”. Beckson & Ganz (1975:141-142) classified metaphor into four types: decorative metaphor, mixed metaphor, structural metaphor, and dead metaphor. Crystal (1999:215-216) also classified metaphor into four types: conceptual metaphor, mixed metaphor, poetic metaphor, and conventional metaphor. Beckson & Ganz and Crystal actually made similar understanding about the classification of metaphor, but they used different terms. Based on the classification, conceptual metaphor (decorative), mixed metaphor, and poetic metaphor (structural metaphor) are actually further division of live metaphor.
