This study entitled “Types and Meaning of Idiomatic Expressions with

parts of the body, color, food, numbers, people, animals, geography, recreation,
household items and tools, medicine, plants, clothes, time, the weather, around the
house, idiom with the word As, repetition, the word And, That Go Together I and
That Go Together II. The data were collected and classified then qualitatively
analyzed. The theory of idiom by Seidl and McMordie (1980) is to classify the
types of idiom and the theory of meaning by Leech (1974) is to analyze the types
of meaning from the idiom. Theory of basic triangle which is written by Ogden

types of meaning found in the novel. The four types of idiomatic expression namely:
particular words with special idiomatic uses, idioms with adjectives and nouns in
combination, idioms with prepositions and adverbs, and idioms with common
verbs. There are also three types of meaning, namely: conceptual meaning,
