This book explores Malay cognitive processes in creating idiomatic expressions using the complex blending theory in four mental domains. Through empirical analysis, it unveils the intricate cognitive thinking involved in forming these expressions. The insights provided highlight the Malay identity, particularly in the creation of idiomatic meanings.

The precision of Malay contemplation in crafting idiomatic expressions demonstrates the cognitive functions of metaphors in forming implicit thoughts and meanings. The conceptual organization within the metaphorization of idiomatic expressions showcases the wisdom and unique cultural background of the Malays. Additionally, the book provides detailed and in-depth descriptions of the metaphors used in these idiomatic expressions, enhancing public knowledge about the extent to which past societies created such expressions.

Understanding metaphors can elucidate the function of idiomatic expressions as educational tools, offering advice, teachings, examples, guidance, and principles in communication.
