| Summary: | Words denoting birds exists in all languages in the world. They take part in all human spectrums and play an important role in the process of communication. Metaphorical meanings of the words denoting birds can create negative or positive perceptions on its audiences. They are typical kinds of words with specific characteristics, which other kinds of words can not have.
