Abstract

No language in the world is devoid of idioms. In fact, the importance of idioms is so significant that they are as essential to language as breath is to life. The use of idioms is widespread, ranging from works of art to everyday spoken language. If we talk about everyday speech, often the entire meaning of a conversation is conveyed through idioms. Damodar Dass Khatri is the first storyteller of Punjabi, and his story Heer Ranjha is filled with beautiful use of idioms. This essay is about the use of idioms in Damodar Dass Khatri’s Heer Ranjha.
