what is the differences between the literary and the linguistic meanings of idioms?

Question

I want to know about the meanings of idioms in literary linguistically sides

Answer 1

This link gives you a list of English idioms. http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:E-W0UkwED5UJ:www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/+english+idioms&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=3

If you look at them, you will find that they convey a meaning which is quite different from the literal meaning. For example, "a little bird told me", when translated literally, would require a small bird to fly up to me and talk to me in a language which both it and I understood. This only happens in ancient legends!
"As cold as ice" does not mean literally 1° C and nobody listening would interpret it as meaning that.

Answer 2

Literary means well read and an tendency towards excellence in English. Linguistic means you know may languages and understand the simiilarites between them.
