Kirsty&Kane4eva Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 At the moment we are doing indices in Maths, they are pretty easy once you get the hang of it but its hard trying to remember 7 laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 ^^^ I can *never* remember the 7 laws of indices. I think if a number is timed to the power 0, the answer is 1. After that, I'm stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guevara01 Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Hey, can anyone help me please? My English Language teacher has written: Semantics Evidence in the changes of meanings of words; whereby a word acquires more negative connotations is called Pejoration and the process whereby a word acquires more positive connotations is called Amelioration, Can anyone expand on this? Or give me examples, so that i know what it means? Also if anyone can give me any information on; 'ellipted words such as definite or indefinate articles or conjunctions'. Does this mean 'omissions'? I'd be grateful for any help! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TabbyCool Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I'm not sure if it counts, but there are certain words that traditionally had a different meaning to how they are now used, such as "gay", which means "happy" or "cheerful" but for some reason now means "homosexual". It's the obvious example that springs to mind, I'm sure there are plenty of others though. What about words people use to describe things that are good or bad, like "hot", "cool", "wicked" etc. are all used to describe things that people think are good, but really have completely different meanings altogether. Hope that was of some help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guevara01 Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 It was thankyou! I've also got to find a song from the past two years that uses non-standard English, to analyse. Harder than it sounds! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TabbyCool Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Non-standard English? Does that just mean a song that uses slang or whatever, or is it something else completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guevara01 Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yeah, it is stuff like that. Slang, taboo language, anything like that. I'm going mad here looking through my CDs! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
