Download or read book 201 Illustrated American Idioms written by George T. Jackman and published by George Jackman. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Description Of This Booklet Someone once said, "A picture is worth 1,000 words". Idioms create pictures also. Idioms can be facilitators (when they help in understanding) or they can become barriers (when they confuse understanding.) What I have attempted to present in this booklet, is to remove any barriers to understanding, without using a thousand words. Instead, I have drawn an illustration for each and every idiom. Every language has idioms. Some languages have fewer, some have more. Idioms enrich language by making it more colorful, more memorable, more useful, and above all more fun! America has idiomatically been called "The Melting Pot" because of all the many different immigrants (with such different languages) who have made this country their home. Because of this fact, America can boast that it has the richest "treasure chest of idioms". It is also why the American Language is so difficult for people to understand. Socrates defined when something was good by saying "Something is good when it fulfills the purpose for which it was created." I believe that my Illustrated American Idioms will fulfill the purpose of helping people to acquire understanding, better their language usage skills, and laugh more through it all. Thanks to: Felicia Rose and her "Can Do" attitude and dedication; Katharine Faust, EdM, J.D. for her publication "Know How"; Christopher Mackle for his "Wizardry" for turning my pages into docx

Download or read book Conceptual Integration Theory in Idiom Modifications written by Nihada Delibegović Džanić and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-standing view that idioms are formally and thus also semantically fixed has been challenged and many studies have shown that idioms are indeed flexible both structurally and semantically to varying degrees. We often come across examples of creatively used idioms, with their original structure disrupted and their semantics affected in the process. This book investigates the phenomenon of innovation and creativity in phraseology and examines the limits to innovation, i.e. it questions whether modified idioms are choreographed by a set of principles or constraints and whether these principles are coherent. Conceptual Integration Theory is used to analyze modified phraseological units in order to provide insights into mechanisms which regulate their creation and cognitive organization.
