Aspects of idiom*
(University of Calgary, 1982-01) Sayers, Coral
Weinreich (1969) defines an idiom as "a complex expression whose meaning cannot be derived from the meanings of its elements." This writer has collected examples of idioms from the English, German, Australian English, and Quebec French dialects (Appendix I) in order to examine the properties of the idiom, to explore in the literature the current concepts of idiom, and to relate relevant knowledge gained by these processes to the teaching of English as a Second Language.

Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 7, Winter 1982
(University of Calgary, 1982-01) Jehn, Richard Douglas; Rowsell, Lorna
Owing to serious organizational difficulties combined with the heavy workloads of those involved with publication, this seventh issue of the Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics belatedly appears in February 1982. As in the past, we ask that our readers treat these articles as working papers; their appearance here does not preclude their publication in a different form elsewhere.
