Just learnt that on average 3 words come into the English language every day. I've learnt 1 today. Suddenly feel very behind. #LSElitfest- Wow - early Renaissance terms of endearment included fish. "You are my prawn" has a ring (or a hum) to it. #LSELitFest
'My dearest prawn!' - terms of endearment from Middle English now look totally mad! Fish and cabbage how romantic #TIL #LSElitfest
"Linguists are sad people" - David Crystal on analysing Downton Abbey scripts for historical accuracy #LSElitfest #sadandproud- We've moved from Downton Abbey anachronisms to a custom-forged Shakespeare Play at #LSElitfest
- Literary Festival 2015: Words in Time and PlaceSpeaker(s): David Crystal Chair: Professor Jennifer Richards Recorded on 23 February 2015. If you lived in 1800, which words existed in English to let you talk about money or the weather? Or 1600? Or at any time in the history of the language?
