Post: Linking words
Posted by Emilia on 4/17/08
Dear collegues, could you help me with this exercise? I 've
done it but I have some doubts. Thank you very much in
advance. Put the linking words: second, thus, finally, although,
first, as a result, in addition to this, however New directions
The European world of 1900 seemed remarkably stable, as did
the English language. ......., the two world wars
transformed Europe dramatically and changed the pattern of
language. ......., society has changed since ww1, and the
language has been a means for people to describe and cope
with that change. ........, the impact of electronic
communications on language was first felt between 1900 and
1940........ the effect became even more important by mid
century.
........ technology has become the largest source of new
words.
Every new invention, every new device, and every new
product needs a name. The military also introduces many new
words into English.
.............. the technical vocabulary of
contemporary English is now larger than the entire English
vocabulary at the time of Shakespeare.
............... the twentieth century may well be an
age of massive change in English usage, .......... it will
be some time before that can be known with certainty.
