In English, We Have Relatively Few Words for Family Members

question 91

Essay

In English, we have relatively few words for family members, and many are not distinguished by gender. For example, we have "aunt" and "uncle" but only "cousin," no specific words for male cousin and female cousin. Other languages, however, have many more words for specific family members. Hindi, for example, has specific words for your father's younger brother, your father's elder brother, your father's sister's husband, your mother's brother, and your mother's sister's husband--all of which are simply "uncles" in English. Analyze the relationship between culture and language using this example.

Recognize and mitigate risks associated with wireless networking.

Properly follow safety and regulatory compliance for disposal and handling of IT equipment and substances.
