The English language being very flexible constantly enriches itsvocabulary with words invented by language speakers, making it morecolourful with new idiomatic expressions, and, at times, refills its stockswith the borrowings and neologisms. English just amazes by itsextraordinary linguistic diversity.Idioms are always something special about any language; they buildup some distinctive features which differ one language from another.What is more, idioms reflect certain cultural traditions and depict thenational character.Idioms are not a separate part of the language which one can chooseeither to use or to omit, but they form an essential part of the generalvocabulary of English. A description of how the vocabulary of thelanguage is growing and changing will help to place idioms inperspective.Idioms appear in every language, and English has thousands of them.They are often confusing because the meaning of the whole group ofwords taken together has little, often nothing, to do with the meanings ofthe words taken one by one.In order to understand a language, we must know what the idioms inthat language mean. If we try to figure out the meaning of an idiomliterally, word by word, we will get befuddled. We have to know itshidden meaning. Because of idioms, learning a language can becomplicated.
