1 What are the characteristics of Idioms?

1). Semantic unity(语义的整体性):being phrases or sentences, idioms each consists of mora

than one word, but each is a semantic unity. 例子 Bee in one’s bonnet 想入非非 ,know the

ropes内行

2). Structural stability(结构的稳定性): Unlike free phrases, the structure of an idiom is to a

large extent unchangeable. First, the constituents of idioms can not be replaced. Secondly, the

word order can not be inverted or changed. Thirdly, the constituents of an idiom can not be deleted

or added to, not even an article. Finally, many idioms are grammatically unanalysable.例子

Diamond cut diamond,势均力敌,like cures like以毒攻毒
