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.

Students' familiarity with english idioms and its effect on their translation approaches / Besma Henni 

Public ISBD Titre : Students' familiarity with english idioms and its effect on their translation approaches : The case of third year students of applied language studies Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Besma Henni, Auteur ; Saoussen Madoui, Directeur de thèse Editeur : CONSTANTINE [ALGERIE] : Université Frères Mentouri Constantine Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 82 f. Format : 30 cm. Note générale : Une copie électronique PDF disponible en BUC. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Lettres et Langues Etrangères:Langue Anglaise Tags : 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.
