Idiomatic Expressions: A Theoretical and Comparative Research

Idiomatic expressions are groups of phrases which have lost their original meanings and gained a secondary one and their comprehension depends on their use in sentence. Idiomatic expressions are divided into verbal, nominal, and literal ones in terms of structure and irony, metaphor, and allegory in terms of meaning. Just like other linguistic components, the meaning of some idiomatic expressions too has changed in time. Imagery plays an important role in such evolution of meaning. Idiomatic expressions are similar to words with regard to synonymy and polysemy. There are some idioms that are synonyms but with different forms of expression, whereas some others have the same form but with various meanings based on the context. In references, idiomatic expressions are classified into Koranic, prophetic, hereditary, novel, and Arabicized ones. In comparative study of Persian and Arabic expressions, there are some expressions whose register and denotation are the same, some are different in register but the same in denotation and some others are similar in terms of register but have different denotations.
