Hi everyone,
I hope you are doing well.
In the case of a mother saying to her two-year-old child 'do you want to climb up a hill?' and at the same time pointing to the chair on which the child will sit down to have lunch, which figure of speech does the mother use?
I would say that this is a metaphor, because she refers to an objects by means of another 'more abstract' thing, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for your help and have a good day.
