    The transition between childhood and adulthood is a time in one’s life where new ideas, perspectives, and feelings emerge. James Joyce hones in on this period of life and coming of age in his short story “Araby” which follows a nameless narrator as he explores new experiences and feelings. Through imagery, diction, and syntax, Joyce develops the main character into a teenager who is ready for the next step in his life; he wants to leave his childhood in the past and embrace this newfound feeling of love that he is experiencing. Through imagery, Joyce develops the boy and the new feeling of love he is experiencing. The diction Joyce uses establishes a tone throughout the short story. The syntax Joyce includes reveals the boy’s true thoughts about the girl, thus developing his characterization farther. Joyce is able to capture the essence of the transition to adulthood with these three literary techniques.…

    * In linguistics, idioms are usually presumed to be figures of speech contradicting the principle of compositionality; yet the matter remains debated. John Saeed defines an “idiom” as words collocated that became affixed to each other until metamorphosing into a fossilised term.[3] This collocation — words commonly used in a group — redefines each component word in the word-group and becomes an idiomatic expression. The words develop a specialized meaning as an entity, as an idiom. Moreover, an idiom is an expression, word, or phrase whose sense means something different from what the words literally imply. When a speaker uses an idiom, the listener might mistake its actual meaning, if he or she has not heard this figure of speech before.[4] Idioms usually do not translate well; in some cases, when an idiom is translated into another language, either its meaning is changed or it is meaningless.…
