over Time” Words more commonly used in everyday life are far less likely to evolve compared to less frequently used words, seen across multiple Indo-European languages. One of the main examples, in English, is irregular verbs. As language evolved from Old to Middle to current English, fewer and fewer irregular verbs (non “-ed”) existed. Studies found that the verbs that have been regularized were used significantly les compared to those that remained unchanged to this day. “New word order”…

READING The Basic Reading Skills composite measures EE107’s ability to read a list of words and correctly pronounce nonsense words. EE107’s standard score of 75 falls in the low range at the 5th percentile, indicating that she performed at or 5 percent of her peers.

work and the person to whom her words are discussed. The very first line of the poem is typical of the rest of the work in its use of phrasing that is colloquial—that is, in this case, phrasing that implies one person speaking to another. Yet the phrasing is also colloquial in the sense that it is ordinary, unpretentious, and informal. By beginning with the word “Well,” the mother sounds as if she is responding to a question from her son, while the use of the generic word “son” sounds…

outside regan’s house. This becomes clear when King Lear says,"But yet I call you servile ministers, that have with two pernicious daughters join'd your high and engender'd battle 'gainst a head so old and white as this." Here, Shakespeare uses the word 'daughters' to emphasise that Lear is despondent and disconsolate about how his daughters have just treated him. Shakespeare presents King Lear as such a moving character when he is outside in the storm vociferating to God about how he…

venture to the theater hoping for some great awareness to come falling down upon me, yet I leave oblivious to the meanings of the play, meanings that go further then the famous, "To be, or not to be" of Hamlet. McWhorter confronts these issues in Word on the Street, explaining a number of different reasons as to why people explain why modern Americans cannot understand or fully appreciate Shakespeare. One argument brought forth is that Americans just don't perform Shakespearean plays like a…

There are three different ways of forming morphologically complex words in English: inflection (dog-dogs, call-called), derivation (drink-drinkable) and compounding (sunglasses) (Bozix, Marslen-Wilson). This essay will focus on two of the morphological processes, inflection and derivation, and the similarities and differences between them. Inflection represents the relationship between word-forms, usually the ending of the word for example: walk, walks, walked and walking are all considered…

The Richest Man in Babylon is a book written by George Samuel Clason. This book teaches multiple lessons on the ability to manage your personal finance; to pay ourselves first, spend less than what we are making, and to work for the money we earn. I believe this book should be read by most economic students. Students will learn how to budget money, spend money, and use money wisely.
