English Idioms, are part of The Teaching of English Series that started in 1940's and are always reprinted in regular intervals. "In the present volume, instead of attempting to divide the work into chapters treating of "colloquial phrases", "cant phrases", "slang phrases" and so forth, I have thrown the whole into alphabetical form, and have marked by letters the category to which, in my opinion, the phrases ought to belong. This classification may be studied or may be neglected as suits the convenience or the taste of the consulter."
The present book originated as a doctoral dissertation at the University of Zurich .In the present study I shall establish the idiom as a functional element of language. My approach will thus be based on a pragmatic view of language, as I have outlined below. Idioms are seen as a special category of lexical items which are not only determined through their structure, but which also show a specific type of behaviour in lan guage use. By analysing this behaviour I hope to create a pragmatic model for English idioms and thus to provide a basis for a theory of idioms as a phenomenon of natural language.
