Language and Linguistics Assignment/Buy Homework Help
Using the text for this course, the University Library, the Internet, and/or other resources complete the following three-part assignment.
Part A
Select two terms total from the following lists. One term is an example of how language changes over time.
(Note: We are not looking at historical roots of words. Do not, for instance, look back to the roots of the word flag and explain how those roots morphed into the English word flag. Instead, look at what the term flag meant historically versus what it means now. George Washington surely knew what it meant to fly a flag, but he did not know what it meant to flag a post.)
Select a different term that is an example of how English has spread as an international language.
(Note: We are looking at the etymology of the terms, not the technology they represent. For instance, apple used to mean fruit, but now it also is the name of a major computer/smartphone company. You would not get credit for saying that Apple’s products allow people to communicate in English. You would, however, get credit for saying that the name Apple is used internationally in its English form, that it is not translated into other languages. Spanish speakers do not call that company Manzana; they call it Apple.)Get Literature help today
