figuratively可以这样用的,而且是很常见的用法。in figurativeness也是有这种说法的，不过用在这里不恰当,考虑到和use的搭配，be used in是用在**方面的意思，建议这里用with figurativeness.例句：1.Words formed when one letter is changed in figurativeness.2.Novels of this kind generally come to grief in figurativeness.3.You should not just operate with figurativeness.4.In her work, the artist has already departed quite far from her initial fascination with figurativeness and emotional, expressive imaging.figuratively在这里就很好，简洁。还可以说：in a figurative way.例句：1.That is the only word in the language that can never be used in a figurative way.2.In this book, I shall not speak of him in a figurative way.
