Cliché - Academic Mode

Cliché definition
Cliché refers to a term that has been overused to the extent that it loses its original meaning or novelty. A cliché can also refer to actions and events that are predictable based on some previous events.

All examples of clichés are phrases that were once new.They grew in popularity among the public and have become so widely used that such phrases are now boring and sometimes sound irritating because they have lost their original color. For example, the phrase "as red as a rose" must have been a fresh and innovative phrase at some point, but today it is widely viewed as a cliché and does not have as much impact when used in everyday or formal writing.

Phrases that are not clichés
It is important to adhere to them Note that reusing expressions over and over does not necessarily lead to a cliché. Typical expressions that are almost always used in formal ceremonies, feasts, dishes, etc., are not considered to be clichéd examples; Rather, they are appropriate for such occasions and are considered more appropriate. Here are some examples:

“I agree to the proposal” (board meeting or council meeting)
“I will now speak out as husband and wife” (wedding ceremony)
“I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I am President loyally to the United States and to do best to maintain, protect and defend the United States Constitution. "(Oath-taking ceremony)
" Happy birthday! Similarly, certain epithets such as “pastor” and “father” are associated with the names of church officials. In addition, people of the royal family are addressed by the nicknames "Your Grace", "Your Highness" or "Your Royal Highness". Such expressions are part of proper etiquette and do not fall under the category of clichés.

Function of Cliché
Anton C.Zijderveld, a Dutch sociologist, illuminates the function of the cliché in the following excerpt from his treatise on clichés:

“A cliché is a traditional form of man (removed) in Words, thoughts, emotions, gestures, actions that - due to repeated use in social life - has lost its original, often ingenious heuristic power. Although it does not make a positive contribution to meaning for social interactions and communication, it works socially, as it stimulates behavior (cognition, emotion, will, action) and avoids reflection on meanings.
