Our expectation is to understand how the idiomatic expressions are used, therefore, we researchers have a vast interest in the conceptualization of language users so that we categories the expressions regarding everyday life. This study based on Corpus Linguistics as a usage based model, therefore, we examine the Trend 21 corpus and dictionaries.
