- W607817996 abstract "The aim of this thesis is to find out if Swedish students in the senior level of compulsory school,with English as their second language, have receptive and productive knowledge of English idiomsinvolving body parts. The idioms chosen are based on the model of Glucksberg (2001) as well theirfrequency in the British National Corpus (BNC), four with a high frequency and four with a lowfrequency. According to Glucksberg, idioms are categorized into four groups, non-compositionalidiom, compositional transparent idiom, compositional opaque idiom and quasi-metaphoricalidiom.Four groups of students were given a questionnaire with eight different idioms, two fromeach category. They were to answer if they knew the meaning of the idiom and to produce asentence with that specific idiom. The result shows that the compositional transparent idioms havea better result than the non-compositional and opaque idioms. It also shows that the idioms withhigh frequency in the BNC have better results on the compositional transparent and thecompositional opaque idioms, whereas the non-compositional and the quasi-metaphorical idiomshave a better result on the low frequency items in the BNC. The receptive knowledge of all the different idioms were higher or much higher than the productive knowledge. In all of the groups the girls have a better result than the boys in English. This is can also be shown in statistics from Skolverket, the national agency for education, where girls have a better average grade than boys. In three out of the four groups, students who are monolingual have a better result than the bilingual ones." @default.
