1. What is the classification of tribes who inhabited in British Isles?
More than one the Celtic tribes invaded Britain. The Iberians were unable to fight back
the attacks of the Celts who were armed much better. So the next inhabitants of British
Isles were the Celts. They began to inhabit British Isles in the 6-th century B.C. To this
day the descendants of ancient Celts live on the territory of British Isles. Some words
from the Celtic language can still be found in Modern English and most of them are
geographical names. Thus in England there are several rivers called Avon which in Celtic
means a river. ... In 55 B.C. Julius Ceasar invaded the British Isles for the first time. It
was not success. But the next year, 54 B.C. he again came to Britain. The Romans
defeated the Celts. The Celts promised to pay tribute to Rome.
2. Semasiology, types of meanings A branch of the study of language concerned with the
meaning of words and word equivalents is called semasiology. The name comes from
the Greek semasia "signification" (from sema 'sign')- Words play an important part in
the structure of language. So when we speak of semasiology, we refer to the study of
word -meaning, although it is in fact very common to analyse the semantics of other
elements, not only the words, but suffixes, prefixes, etcюSemasiology is a discipline
within linguistics concerned with the question "what does the word X mean?". It studies
the meaning of words regardless of their phonetic expression. Word-meaning is not
homogeneous. It is made up of various components. These components are described
as types of meaning. The two main types of meaning are the grammatical (categorical)
meaning and the lexical (material) meaning. The grammatical meaning is defined as an
expression in speech of relationship between words. The lexical meaning is the meaning
proper to the given linguistic unit in all its forms and distributions. ... According to this
approach in the semantic structure of a word two types of meaning can be singled out:
the primary meaning and the secondary meaning
* ROOT = part of plant. The basic couse.. MODEL=example.forme.
