@Amir_Sheikhan Congratulations

[Derek Bousfield @DrWordy]

Great to be invited on to @bbc5live with @chriswarburton_ and Ellie to talk about Talking in Clichés, work I did with @StellaBullo with @CambUP_LangLing. Delighted to hear the many fantastic Clichés listeners are texting in throughout the remainder of the show.

After the loss of my father I am facing a high tension physically and mentally that I cannot describe it in any language neither my mother tongue nor English. I try to use analogies and examples now to describe how terrible I feel

@OuissalHarize Was thinking the same to be honest and felt sad about how these people can reach all these followers and views on social media

[Halima Benzdira @HBenzdira]

@DrWordy @StellaBullo @CambUP_LangLing Cannot wait to read it

Can you be good enough Halima and send me the confirmations for the bookings made? Different interpretation occurred at the reservation office where I work for this expression sent to me via email. Is that considered face aggression? Impoliteness or unaligned interpretation?

[Halima Benzdira @HBenzdira]

Finally the book on clichés by @DrWordy and @StellaBullo has been now out. It has been an exceptional experience to contribute to such work.

[Halima Benzdira @HBenzdira]

@StellaBullo @DrWordy @CambUP_LangLing @DrLexiWebster @pascualmariana1 It was a pleasure working with you on such a facon sting topic. Best of luck

[Derek Bousfield @DrWordy]

Absolutely delighted that @StellaBullo's and my book, on Talking In Clichés with @CambUP_LangLing is now out. It's essentially a love letter to clichés - from firmly Systemic-Functional & Sociopragmatic perspectives, we demonstrate the many, varied & creative ways they are used.

[Halima Benzdira @HBenzdira]

@DrWordy @StellaBullo @CambUP_LangLing Congratulations to both of you I am sure it will be joy to read
