Phraseological analysis reveals that fixed expressions which are memorized as formulaic chunks build up much of the conversations and that language is replete with collocations, colligations, and semantic prosody. These analyses show that phrase is the basic level of language representation, and fluent language users require a great number of memorized language sequences (Eliss, 1996; Granger & Munier, 2008; Pawly & Syder, 1983; Sinclair, 1991, 2004; Wray, 2002). Sinclair (2005) also claims that language
SEMANTIC is the study of meaning of linguistic expressions apart from considerations of the effect on the meaning of language in use. It includes how words phrases and sentences come together to make meaning in language. THE SCIENTIFIC MEANING: the study of meanings and the historical and psychological study and the classification of changes in the meaning of words or forms viewed as parts in linguistic development. And can be used to describe how words can have different meanings for different people
INTRODUCTION Why is the red color in the stop sign and why does green mean "go"? Why does the bride wear white, and black is the color of mourning and sadness? Why does an optimist see the world in bright colors and a romantic person pursues the "blue dream"? This work discusses color and its place in culture. A lot of things in the reality surrounding us we perceive by means of colors and through them. Color terms bear in themselves much more information than it might seem at first glance. Understanding
throughout one island population speaks many different versions of one language. Throughout the many different languages they used idioms. Idioms are defined as morphs with culturally added meaning. Idioms are very often used in our culture. For example, an idioms in our culture would be “jump the gun” means one would be doing something early. An example of an idiom throughout the Trobriand islanders society would be, “can I ride your bicycle” and that means “can I sleep with you”. There are also

In the Letter in Tribune it is said that the heart of Britain may be sound and strong beat but the British’s lion roar it’s like one from Shakespeare. The meanings of the words are different , the English language is notoriously fast in adapting to the changing world. New words enter English from every area of life where they represent and describe the changes and developments that take place from day to
natural shift of meaning, using word or words collocation to present the literal sense which cannot be referred to the occasion. All polysyllabic words and majority of verb phrases are potential metaphors, and all the extended meanings are metaphors. In the drama Teahouse, there are a great number of them. In communication between people of different culture and different languages, translating metaphor between languages has several
students by repeating or reading it in the lesson. The main goals of my work are to emphasize the importance of teaching vocabulary and to introduce ways and techniques of presenting vocabulary in the classroom. The first section will define the meaning of vocabulary, and explain why it is essential for students to learn new vocabulary, and the second section will present the way of presenting it in classrooms. 1. Vocabulary in general 1.1 Definition of vocabulary According to
fluently sail from one idea to the next without hesitation. In fact, communication is sometimes shattered by some gaps due to incomplete knowledge of language. The gap can be in the form of a word, a structure, a phrase, a tense marker, and, even, an idiom (Byalistok, 1990: 1). Meanwhile, Scarcella, Andersen, and Krashen (1990: 338-350) argue that what hinders communication are the lack exposure to the target language to develop competence in communication, lateness of the target language learning, lack
artificial objects. And we're living in a world that was deceptive, falsehood, deceitful and lied to. Some wanted the truth while others refused to accept the truth; Stanford Encyclopedia of philosophy explains what “ignorance is bliss”, which is an idiom.
anthropologists suggested that language is the product of culture and translations must be as literal as possible. The argument was theoretical and neither the purpose of translation, nor the nature of readership, nor the type of text was discussed. Now the basic problems remains, but the context has changed. Moreover, it is important to note that informative texts usually are translated literally but there are several instances when other translation strategies are taken into account.
