Your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

hey there..

Explanation:

his is the view that beyond exposure to

idioms and attention to the linguistic context, the learner analyzes the expressions

internally to infer meaning, a process that is easier to execute when the literal and

nonliteral meanings overlap. The present study was designed to investigate mental

imagery in relation to the discrepancy in difficulty between transparent and

opaque expressions. Twenty familiar idioms, half transparent and half opaque,

were presented to 40 school-age children (mean age = 12;3 [years;months]) and

40 adults (mean age = 27;0) who were asked to describe in writing their own

mental images for each expression. The participants were also given a written

multiple-choice task to measure their comprehension of the idioms. The results

indicated that mental imagery for idioms undergoes a developmental process and

is associated with comprehension. Although school-age children were able to

report relevant mental images for idioms, their images were less sophisticated

than those of adults and were more likely to be concrete and to reflect only a

partial understanding of the expressions. In contrast, the images reported by

adults were more likely to be figurative. The findings suggest that the mental

images people report for idioms may serve as a barometer of their depth of

understanding of the expressions.
