Message 2: Idioms with First Names

Subject: Idioms with First Names




Dear Linguists,

I am writing to you to ask you for some information.

I am writing my M.A. thesis here in Poland at Jagiellonian University
- English philology. I am facing awful problems because I cannot find
any books that I could use for my M.A. project. It's partially
connected with the topic that my tutor has given me. The topic is
"Idioms with First Names". I kept searchin libraries in Warsaw,
Cracow, Gdansk, Kalisz, Poznan and I found only one book about the
theory of Idioms. But that is not enough. I will be very grateful if
you could give me some information where to write for help or who
could help me. I count on your help. I am looking forward to hearing
from you soon.
