Living Language Series: E8 Old Words - New Meanings

Описание к видео Living Language Series: E8 Old Words - New Meanings

Welcome back to our video series: Living Languages: New Words

This episode actually covers old words that are used in new ways. Words in every language have a range of meaning that can expand, shrink, drift or change over time. This is called semantic change. There are a number examples where the meanings of old O’odham and Piipaash words have changed over time to accommodate new ideas, concepts or items. Sometimes historical events can be traced through the changes in a word’s meaning over time.
