Living Language Series: E9 Semantic Shift Examples

Welcome back to our video series: Living Languages: New Words
This episode covers more old words that are used in new ways. Words in every language have a range of meaning that can expand, shrink, drift or change over time. This is called semantic change. There are a number of examples where the meanings of old O’odham and Piipaash words have changed over time to accommodate new ideas, concepts or items.
