L'ADATTAMENTO DELLE PAROLE ✍🏻😎 #scrittura#writingtips#wearewriting ⏩ L'adattamento delle parole è un fenomeno - detto "prestito" dagli esperti linguisti - secondo cui una parola che giunge da un'altra lingua si adatta alla nostra sia nel parlato che nello scritto e anche nella struttura grammaticale. ⏩ Un esempio è la parola turismo che arriva dall'inglese tourism passando per il francese tourisme. O parole come zumare (con la u al posto della doppia o, zoom dell'inglese). 🤓 ✅ La storica della lingua, Donata Schiannini, scrive come "i pedanti" giudichino orribili le derivazioni moderne (come zumare o computerizzato e non abbiano nulla da dire su quelle di derivazione antica di cui si è persa l'origine). ✅ In ogni caso, è sempre importante opera culturale quella di ricercare l'origine delle parole che usiamo tutti i giorni ed essere sempre più consapevoli della nostra lingua. @writingway 🙌Se ti è piaciuto questo post e pensi possa interessare ad altri, inoltralo cliccando sulla freccia a destra.
