Summary/Abstract: As a deviant denomination, metaphor shows extremely useful for praising. This vision is perfectly appropriate for the epidictic kind, whose core remains the eulogy of the speech object. Through a mainly semantic perspective, the study allows us to realize that the metaphor is an eminently poetic trope for the rendering of new semantic relevance. This phenomenon takes place after collusion, tension between the meaning of the words in order to please the senses due to the second categorization in terms of acquiring a new meaning. In this respect, metaphor is a figure of brightness, an efficient way of woman’s sublimation in Hamidou Dia’s poetic production.
