Produktbeschreibung
Idioms are figurative expressions that convey meanings different from the literal interpretation of their individual words - such as "shoot yourself in the foot" or "let the cat out of the bag." They are deeply embedded in language and culture, acting as vivid communicative shortcuts that express complex ideas, emotions, or social norms. This workbook studies the origins of idioms, their cultural context, and linguistic application. However, there are thousands of idioms, and they vary from country to country. Therefore, this work was primarily designed to assist business students who use English as a second language (ESL) and specifically focuses on those idioms that are used in the business world. Idioms are not slang, and the difference between the two is comprehensively explained.The format of this workbook and reference guide consists of presenting the most common business idioms in alphabetical order, providing a definition for each, and then using the idiom in a sentence to create a contextual illustration.
