Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of idioms, this book delves into how expressions, words, or phrases acquire figurative meanings distinct from their literal definitions. It highlights the evolution of word groups into idiomatic expressions and the potential for misunderstanding among listeners unfamiliar with these figures of speech. An example provided is the English idiom "to go round the bend," illustrating how idioms can convey complex meanings that may confuse those not well-versed in them.
