Science Studies An Investigation Role of Context Idioms |
Index. décimale : |
420 Langue anglaise |
Résumé : |
This study investigates the role that the context plays in the comprehension of idioms. It deals with the difficulties that foreign language learners face when dealing with idioms. The aim of the study is to examine the role of the context and to show to which extent it is helpful to clarify the idioms meaning. To check the validity of our hypothesis a test has been administrated to twenty three students of English. It is made up of two parts. The first part consists of fifteen idioms out of context with their answer choices. The second part consists of the same idioms, but in a text. The results show that students can guess the real meaning or at least the approximate one if the idiom is a transparent or a semi-transparent one but the context does not help them with idioms which carry an opaque meaning and sometimes it gets them even more confused. Yet the overall statistics reveal that the context plays a role in clarifying the meaning of idioms and our hypothesis has been confirmed. |

Applied Language Studies Familiarity Idioms |
Index. décimale : |
420 Langue anglaise |
Résumé : |
The aim of this research is, on the one hand, to have some insights about students’ knowledge
of idioms. On the other hand, it sheds light on the major difficulties students find in grasping
the figurative sense of English idioms and the different problems they come across in
translating idiomatic expressions into Arabic. The choice of this subject is determined by the
fact that idioms are the most problematic part of language to deal with. The Data for this
study are collected through a test that is given to 3rd year students of English in order to
assess the degree of familiarity/unfamiliarity with the different categories of idioms and to
check the impact of this familiarity if ever on their translation performance. The results
obtained have confirmed the hypothesis we postulated. Students are found to be more familiar
with literal idioms. They, however, lack knowledge of pure and semi idioms and this affects
largely their translation performance. They have also revealed that students are found to use
paraphrasing strategy to overcome the difficulties of translating the idiomatic expressions they
are not familiar with. This means they are at least aware that word for word translation is not
helpful as it destroys the real meaning of the idioms whose meaning escape literal
interpretation. |
