STRUCTURAL CLASSIFICATION OF ENGLISH IDIOMS
Keywords:
idioms, expressions, phrases, comparative word groups.Abstract
Idioms are complex phrases whose meaning is not deducible from those of the various elements that make up the phrase. Take, for instance, the phrase “to rain cats and dogs” defined as “to rain very heavily.” This is an example of an idiom. The phrase ‘over the moon,’ which means very happy, is another idiom. In both examples, such phrases would pose a challenge in determining what it actually means literally. The majority of Idioms have a wide scope of different combinations and structures which are largely fixed and in most cases irrational and tend to disregard even the most standard grammatical principles. Some idioms are fairly straightforward (in general; come out; at first; the root of all evil), while others are rather ambiguous (on end; pact it in; high and low; hard crash). Some idioms are named people (like a jack of all trades, uncle sam), some are metaphors (like as clear as a bell, as the crow flies). Idioms also include proverbs and expressions (every cloud has a silver lining, still waters are deep).
