The fact is that many, although not all, words in a language must be studied on several levels.There is the literal meaning; this is to understand a word in its most basic meaning.This is the definition of a word which is usually taught.However many words can, or should I say must, also be understood metaphorically or figuratively.In English terms of the body can not be understood only literally; they must also be mastered figuratively.The body terms arm and elbow, for example, have several different meanings.Many popular and familiar expressions contain body terms such as ‘face,’ ‘tongue,’ ‘back,’ ‘head’ and ‘eye’.
Every language has its own peculiar expressions.These expressions do not make sense outside their cultural context.In English, for example, what does it mean to: ‘to be like a cat on a hot tin roof,’ to cut a record, to make one’s bed and sleep in it, to back down, or ‘to be water under the bridge’?These expressions, used everywhere in the language, are one of the main reasons why it is so difficult to understand a language which is not one’s own.
