How do historical linguists trace a legend back to its roots?

History
1 answer:
Radda [10]4 years ago
5 0
Through clues that hint to earlier versions of the legend through out history. Legends are often scrambled and tiny parts of it change from person to person after a while.  Since legends tend to come out of thin air a lot of the times, or come from distorted experiences or facts, its hard to pinpoint exactly how they started. But, historical linguists can trace versions of the legend where it has come up before and find the original or close to original way it was told, then they can determine by the words that were used to describe it and how it was described when the legend surfaced.

Describe how the caste system affected people born into the Brahmin caste. What does it mean to be born into the untouchable cas
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Members of a high caste enjoy more wealth and opportunities while members of a low caste perform menial jobs. The highest class/caste is the Brahmin, and the lowest, are the Untouchables, or pariahs. To be born into an Untouchable caste meant you were looked down upon society, and people, like the name Untouchable, could not even touch you. People in the highest caste had more job opportunities, and had more privileges.

Hope this helps!

How was the culture of plain indians changed
Viefleur [7K]

<em>Their culture changed drastically in the early 16th century, when European newcomers introduced them to the horse. </em>The horse enabled them to travel much faster across greater distances which meant that they could follow and hunt buffalo more easily. Since buffalo was the main resource, not only for food but also for tents and clothing which were made from its skin, as well as for domestic objects made from its bones, this revolutionized their culture, enabling them to live more securely. By the 18th century they became full-fledged nomadic horse cultures and the horse became a central symbol of their lives. Aside from being appreciated because of the utility and the lifestyle it made possible, the horse also became a symbol of social prestige and a cultural object, referenced in stories and songs from the time.
