This section delves into the theoretical foundations that will guide the semantic study of idioms. Focus is placed on semantic features found within idioms, investigating concepts like compositionality, non-compositionality, and the ways semantic meaning is structured. Discussions touch on how meaning can be categorized and how idioms and their meanings influence the cognitive processes. This section includes linguistic models and frameworks that are important for analyzing idioms to determine their functionality and conceptual aspects. It gives scholars a firm foundation for understanding how context, connotation, and cultural references interact and shape the idiomatic expressions used within the language.

This section is dedicated to the methodology behind the study. The main focus will be the process, including gathering a corpus, identifying idioms, and checking their frequencies. It will provide the parameters and specifics of the chosen corpus, emphasizing criteria for selecting and including texts. It describes the tools and methods used for finding and extracting idioms, including the types of software and applications used to analyze large amounts of textual data. It explains statistical techniques and analytical methods, covering the approaches used to assess the significance of idiom frequency, and the ways in which contextual characteristics are evaluated.

This stage shows how the idioms used were specifically chosen and categorized based on various criteria. The selection process will be discussed, explaining why certain idioms were prioritized according to frequency of and contextual significance. The classification section describes how the idioms are grouped along semantic and functional lines, often employing classifications like those based on their topic, field of use, and stylistic characteristics. A detailed discussion on the criteria used to determine inclusion in the dictionary follows, and this will include tests for frequency, relevance, and cultural importance. The section aims to offer a systematic overview of how the idioms have been picked, making the process easily understood.

This section provides an analytical presentation of the key research and findings. The presentation of the most frequently used idioms, based on corpus analysis, will show the numerical frequency and rankings. The data presented will include results on idiomatic expressions used in various contexts, providing insights into domain use. The analyses of the contextual aspects discuss how idioms are used in different language environments. Also, the discussion explores contextual characteristics, examining patterns, and pointing out the key details and connotations.

This chapter is a practical presentation of idioms in real-world contexts, demonstrating ways in which these phrases are used. It offers clear examples of usage, illustrating the significance of idiomatic language in spoken and written settings. Examples will be presented, to show how idioms can be used in numerous linguistic activities, improving communicative skills. In addition to language usage, it will also consider stylistic points, highlighting how idioms can shape one’s style of writing, enhancing both fluency and cultural awareness. The aim is to create tools that make them easy to use, while offering additional value for those studying languages by making sure idioms are used appropriately.
