Explanation

Trope refers to a figurative or metaphorical use of a word or expression, or a recurring theme or device in literature and art. In literary studies, a trope is a figure of speech or artistic device. 'Figure of speech' is the correct literary term. 'Dialect' refers to regional language patterns, 'Stanza' to poetry structure, and 'Story' to narrative - none of which define trope.
