9. Stylistic aspect of phraseology.

Semantic stylistic features contracting set expressions into units of fixed context are simile, contrast, metaphor and synоnуmy, cf:



as like as two peas, as old as the hills and older than the hills (simile);

from beginning to end, for love or money, more or less, sooner or later (contrast);

a lame duck, a pack of lies, arms race, to swallow the pill, in a nutshell (metaphor);



by leaps and bounds, proud and haughty (synonymy).

A few more combinations of different features in the same phrase are:



as good as gold, as pleased as Punch, as fit as a fiddle (alliteration, simile);

now or never, to kill or cure (alliteration and contrast).

More rarely there is an intentional pun: as cross as two sticks (very angry). This play upon words makes the phrase jocular.

There are. of course, other cases when set expressions lose their metaphorical picturesqueness. having preserved some fossilized words and phrases, the meaning of which is no longer correctly understood. For instance, the expression buy a pig in a poke may be still used, although poke” bag” (cf. pouch, pocket) does not occur in other contexts. Expressions taken from obsolete sports and occupations may survive in their new figurative meaning. In these cases the euphonic qualities of the expression are even more important. A muscular and irreducible phrase is also memorable. The muscular feeling is of special importance in slogans and battle cries. Saint George and the Dragon for Merrie England, the medieval battle cry, was a rhythmic unit to which a man on a horse could swing his sword. The modern Scholarships not battleships! can be conveniently scanned by a marching crowd.
