Exploring the evolution of English idioms: Origins and impact on language and society today.


In this episode of Beyond Education, Ticker’s Mike Loder and Enquiry Tracker founder, Greg Campitelli discuss the origins of English idioms and their evolution within society. Joining them is Steve Campitelli, a linguist from the University of Melbourne, who shares insights on various idioms.

The term “saying” encompasses idioms—short phrases with meanings not obvious from their literal definitions. For example, “wild goose chase” refers to a futile pursuit rather than an actual chase involving geese. Many idioms trace back to historical contexts, including quotes from Shakespeare, such as “good riddance” and “break the ice,” which remain prevalent today.

The Royal Navy has contributed significantly to idiomatic language. Phrases like “turn a blind eye” originates from Admiral Nelson, who famously disregarded a signal during battle by using his blind eye. Other examples include “under the weather,” related to sailors seeking shelter from harsh conditions.

As language continues to evolve, new idioms emerge alongside traditional ones, showcasing the ongoing dialogue between culture and communication.
