Exercise 4.
Read an extract from Professor Adam Makkai's introduction to a Dictionary of American Idioms on the problem of roots of the English language prominent idiomaticity. Comment on it."Why is English, and especially American English, so heavily idiomatic? The most probable reason is that as we develop new concepts, we need new expressions for them, but instead of creating a brand new word from the sounds of the language, we use some already existent words and put them together in a new sense. This, however, appears to be true of all known languages. There are, in fact, no known languages that do not have some idioms.
