Describe three major ways that words in a language over change over time

English
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago
8 0

1. Things will get lost in translation, and will change meaning over time. 2. Different words will come to mean the same thing as something else. 3. The use of the word could be different from what it was originally meant to be.

'Every word has a variety of senses and connotations, which can be added, removed, or altered over time, often to the extent that cognates across space and time have very different meanings. The study of semantic change can be seen as part of etymology, onomasiology, semasiology, and semantics.'

Grandfather teaches his grandson to respect nature (theme or characterization)
romanna [79]

Answer:

Characterization is your best answer.

Explanation:

This shows that the Grandfather is very fond of nature or very fearful (a character trait of his), and that he is teaching his grandson to carry on this trait of "respecting" nature. It is not a theme, for it does not have enough information or is not the central topic within the writing.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A: Scrooge devout? What planet is that true on. Not A.

B: I would take B, but it is not a terrific choice.

C: Job never believes he is better than anyone. He was not created that way.

D: Scrooge comes to realize that he did a great deal that he has to answer for. He believes Marley implicitly. Job would never believe that the auithor of all Justice is unjust. Not D.

E: I won't bother to disqualify E. Examine Job's motives more closely. He will never abandon God. It's an outrage to think so.

Why is the number 3 significant with Dante Alighieri?
mariarad [96]
The number 3 is everywhere in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy<span>. For one thing, the poem itself is structured according to the rhyme scheme terza rima, which uses stanzas of three lines that employ interlocking rhymes (aba bcb cdc, etc.). Additionally, there are nine circles of Hell (three multiplied by three), Satan has three faces, and three beasts (a lion, a leopard, and a wolf) threaten Dante at the beginning of the Inferno. There are many more examples of three, but the overall important thing to understand is that the number three largely governs the structure of Dante's poem. Indeed, you can think of the number three as the scaffolding on which the rest of the poem's content is hung. This number is significant because three is a central number in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, especially in terms of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). As such, just as the whole of the Christian world is governed by a three-in-one God, Dante's poem is governed by the number three. Thus, Dante's obsession with the number three mirrors the prevalence of three in the Christian tradition. </span><span />
