Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject English - Grammar, Style, Working Technique, grade: 10, University of Latvia, language: English, abstract: People use idioms to express something that other words do not express as clearly or as cleverly. Often they use an image or symbol to describe something as clearly as possible and that make our point as effectively as possible.
