- Title
Anatoly Liberman. 2022. Take My Word for It: A Dictionary of English Idioms.
- Authors
Murphy, M Lynne
- Abstract
Anatoly Liberman's book, "Take My Word for It: A Dictionary of English Idioms," is not just a dictionary of the meanings of English idioms, but also a dictionary of idiom history. Liberman's work fills a gap in coverage of etymological dictionaries, which often lack analysis of idioms. The book includes over 1,000 entries and is organized alphabetically, with sources cited for each idiom. Liberman's systematic approach and extensive research make this dictionary a valuable resource for both language enthusiasts and phraseologists.
