new vocabularies into language . Let us consider some situations below , obviously, the social change has played an important role in causing the language change .
Now let us see the following sentences first :
Henry downed a pint of beer.
Melissa went to town and did a buy.
We can notice that English is lack of the vocabulary to express the meaning of “ to do something in one fell swoop ”. It is may because of this , “ down ” (adverbial word , but now it means going down) has been changed into verb, it means “drink down in one gulp ” . And “ buy ” (verb , but now it means did a shopping) has been changed into noun, when it shares with verb “ to do ”, there is a meaning of “ go on a single massive spending spree ”. This kind of fast and thorough activity might explain that our life has been changed . And this kind of change has been reflected on the language that we use everyday , because we use them to have conversions to change one kind of word into another kind of word . If this trend is keep on developing day by day , maybe all the words can be changed freely . Let's see the following examples : nouns and verbs can exchange each other , we can see the situation of the two sentences above . But long before , they were strictly been separated . In fact , the situation of transformation are common in our daily life . Anyhow , we could not prove that it is the need of the society caused the change of the language . But now we still insist on that the need of the society is connected with the change o the language .
Now more examples below :
Drusilla garaged her car .
“garage” is a none , but in this sentence it is used as a verb . It means “enter her car to the garage ” .
Betty upped his score.
“Up”is an adverb , but in this sentence it is used as a verb , it means “ to improve ” .
This kind of usage has been existed for a long time in the language. In another word , we know that the need of the society improved the development of the language . The need of the society will not cause the change of the language , it just cause the change of the language faster . And we still have the chance to do more research into the change of the language .
Now our English study have reach to a certain height , and we should pay more attention to the English language itself to do our research . If we want to get more progress , we should do more research on the language .The vocabulary of English is the key issue in our research of English . Vocabulary is the basic unit of sentences , it is one of the most important researches of English learners . We should get ready for the change of the English language . This is because that English is changing as the other things . In our daily life the change of the new vocabulary is very fast . We still young , let us make good use of our youth , and work hard everyday , learn as much as we can .
Conclusion
Word is the basic unit of forming a sentence, the sentences that we usually speak all formed by words. We live in a society that the science and technology are highly developing now, and our society has become more and more complicate day by day, creation of new things is unavoidable in our daily life.
Generally speaking there are three kind of English new vocabulary that have come into being. First, words derived from the old word. Second , borrowing words from the foreign language . Third, words created for the need of the society. We are living in the 21st century now, we are go
