Abstract

ABSTRACT As a second language learner, it became difficult to learn and interpret idioms because they were different from people who grew up using English as their first language and had recognized the meaning of idioms. A second language learner who did not learn idioms had difficulty understanding the meaning of idioms when other people used it eventhough they could speak English. It was because the meaning of idioms was unpredictable by grammatical rules. The objective of the research was to know the types of idiomatic expressions and the dominant type found in Frozen II Movie. This research was qualitative descriptive research that used documentation in collecting the data.
