Abstract:
This paper investigates what types of idioms are most likely to be transferred while learning a second language. The subjects of the study were 120 advanced Syrian learners of English. The comprehension of 80 English idioms was tested by a multiple-choice test and an English-into-Syrian Arabic translation test. The same idioms were also tested for production by a Syrian Arabic-into-English translation test. Results showed that learners scored higher in the comprehension and production test of cognate idioms because of positive language transfer. Language transfer had a negative effect when pro

The article is devoted to the analysis of lexicographic interpretation and etymological basis of idioms in bilingual and bivarietal dictionaries of English and French and English and Russian languages, as well as in bivarietal dictionaries of English – British and American standard varieties. A comparison of the interpretation of idioms as verbose lexical units in dictionaries shows how the idioms of the source language are translated by synonymous idioms of the target language and/or interpreted in other ways in the target language.

Abstract:
Many animal-related idioms are found in Arabic and English languages. However, since there are some differences between Arab and western cultures in history, tradition, geographical environment and mode of thinking, animal idioms can create a cultural gap, which hinders mutual understanding between both cultures. The cultural gap is noticed when translating animal idioms from English into Arabic. Therefore, this research investigates problems encountering translators in the translation of animal idioms from English into Arabic. It also presents strategies that can be applied in the rendition o

The idioms are an indispensable part of the English language, thus becoming an essential moment whilst teaching-learning the English language. But, the process of teaching and learning English idioms has always been a challenging one and requires a lot of experience and creativity, since they are not always easy to understand, remember and use. This study aims to investigate the perspective of English teachers on idioms in language teaching and learning.

Using dictionaries and corpora to support all findings, the conceptual nature and intended meaning of each idiom were closely analysed and compared. The investigation shows metaphorical, metonymical and embodied structures which might possibly explain why these two idioms mean the same thing as a whole

“Idiomatic” expressions, usually called “idioms”, such as a dime a dozen, a busman’s holiday, or to have bats in your belfry are a curious part of any language: they usually have a fixed lexical (why a busman?) and structural composition (only dime and dozen in direct conjunction mean ‘common, ordinary’), can be semantically obscure (why bats?), yet are widely recognized in the speech community, in spite of being so rare that only large corpora can provide us with access to sufficient empirical data on their use.

Abstract:
This article is devoted to identifying the patterns of the use of the language of corruption in English business discourse. In the course of the research, the author analyzes functional features of the language of corruption in English business discourse and describes in detail the various techniques underlying the replacement of the direct naming of “bribe, to give a bribe” to the euphemistic one in English. The analysis allows identifying language strategies characteristic of the modern English business communication.
