What kind of trope are we dealing with in the following sentences:
He had a heart of gold
They were in love head over heels.
She fell for him like a ton of bricks

heart of gold could be the metaphor and ton of brick hyperbole. What is your opinion on this?

Thank you....
Vladimir

REFER has nothing to do with RE-DOING the action of "fer" so it's a one-morpheme word. How about RESEARCH, how many morphemes are there in the word?
Thank you,
Vladimir

How many morphemes are there in the word: NIGHTMARE?
I guess there is only one but, still, am not sure if I am right. Maybe it is that the -mare has some meaning and, therefore, could be categorised as a morpheme?
Thank you everyone,
anyone
