INVESTIGA:

En español tenemos la expresión "pantalones vaqueros". En francés y en inglés se utilizan dos palabras distintas. Busca esas dos palabras de cada idioma e investiga de dónde vienen. Es muy curioso.

CURIOSITIES:

The acquisition of new French words brought about a narrowing in the meaning of the words in English. This is not surprising since, as a language acquires new terms, the tendency would be either to have complete SYNONYMS alongside each other, or for meaning to become narrower, more specific.

Sometimes the French words replaced Old English words: for instance, PEOPLE (from the French peuple) replaced LEÓD. But sometimes, both the French and the Old English words survived, with small differences in meanings: for example, OE 'ask' and French 'demand', or OE 'wedding' and French 'marriage'.

TASK

  1. What are the differences in meaning for 'ask/demand' and 'wedding/marriage'?
  2. Could you find other words with these same features?
