Krátky popis
The English language is a versatile and agile thing, and as our
world changes, so too does the way we use it. Sometimes we coin new
words for new creations, but very often we adopt and adapt existing
words to suit new purposes, or simply put two together to form a
third. New Words for Old looks at the story behind some of the
words we use every day and how their meanings have changed over
time. From technology and fashion to politics and music, our
language displays centuries of imagination and creativity, so often
overlooked. Tracing the development of green from the days when it
was just a colour, web when it was something spiders made and
trolls when they were nothing more threatening than the baddies in
fairy tales, this is a fascinating tour through the history of the
words we use every day and demonstrates just how wide we cast the
net when trying to describe something new.
