11. Peep into the Fabulous World of Dictionaries April 04, 2006 Lexicography is an important branch of linguistics, which covers the theory and practice of compiling dictionaries.

Regular bilingual English-Latin dictionaries already existed in the 15th century. The first unilingual English dictionary, explaining words appeared in 1604. Its aim was to explain difficult words.

12. Jazz Up Your English With Fresh And Lively Idioms November 19, 2005 English language is loaded with non-standard phrases, which rooted so deeply in its vocabulary that at times cannot be distinguished from the accepted Standard English terms. On the one hand, they jazz up the language of native speakers, making it very lively, natural, and authentic. However, on the other hand, non-standard phrases make a pile of understanding hassles to English learners, who helplessly try to gain an understanding of all intricate words and phrases, invented by the language speakers impromptu. This really stands for some reason, because the most difficult aspect o... (read more) Author: Linda Correli

Being very flexible English language constantly enriches its vocabulary with the words invented by the language speakers, making it more colorful with new idiomatic expressions, and at times refills its stocks with the borrowings and neologisms.

15. Brief Etymological Review of the English Word-Stock October 17, 2005 Etymologically the vocabulary of the English language is far from being homogenous. It consists of two layers – the native stock of words and the borrowed stock of words. Numerically the borrowed stock of words is considerably larger than the native stock of words. In fact native words comprise only 30% of the total number of words in the English vocabulary but the native words form the bulk of the most frequent words actually used in speech and writing. Besides, the native words have a wider range of lexical and grammatical valency, they are highly polysemantic and productive in forming wo... (read more) Author: Linda Correli

16. Using the Language of Self-Hypnosis August 22, 2005 Words are just a part of our lives aren’t they? Why do we need to think about them? When I teach people self-hypnosis, the language they use in self-hypnosis sessions is very important. What's more, the kind of language used in self-hypnosis can be used outside of formal self-hypnosis too, to enhance your communication with yourself at all times. The words that you use in and out of self-hypnosis carry a lot of connotation and a lot of deeper meanings for you as they do for everyone. What one word means to one person can mean something completely different to another. Think about an o... (read more) Author: Adam Eason
