Popis:	Meaning extension is an important mechanism by virtue of which new idioms are produced. Guided by the Principle of Economy, language users reanalyze the meanings of original idiomatic expressions, their semantic focus and the construction of their components, thus get a different explanation of the original idioms based on a new understanding of their literal meanings, which eventually lead to the semantic evolution.
