استخدام التعبيرات الاصطلاحية في المجتمع السعودي : دراسة ميدانية

الملخص EN

Idiomatic expressions are a group of words that collectively gives a specific meaning.

Because these idioms are not semantically connected to the lexical meanings of their sub-units, they should be treated as one entity.

Any attempt to disassemble them would violate their meanings.

This research seeks to explore the Saudi people’s comprehension of idiomatic expressions and to what extent they employ them in their daily conversations.

Both the degree of comprehension and the scale of utilization are tested through various factors, including but not limited to gender, age, education and the like.

The researcher renders some recommendations for better and deeper use of idioms in our societies.
