PRIME CUTS: LINGUISTICS


Everyone always kids around about how Arts degrees are full of shit and won't get you anywhere. Just in case this already-overplayed joke (half not joke) needs any more perpetuating, here's some stuff I did for linguistics homework the other week - question 8 specifically. For anyone who can't be bothered really trying to figure what this means, what it very simply means is:
'HERE'S A GROUP OF WORDS. STATE WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON.
eg. Widow, Mother, Mother, Sister, Aunt, Maid are all FEMALE.'

Wait, but like, Genvin, isn't that literally very close to what Year 1 children do in class? Yes, pretty much. Prospects.
