| Gaia: | Due to constant changes in reality, our vocabulary must keep pace and evolve. In order to describe new phenomena, it adopts new terms which are often the result of a complete or partial borrowing from existing words. The human tendency is often to establish a relationship between the unknown and the familiar.Regarding affixation and compounding, the two chief processes of word-formation, the latter has in recent times been regarded with favour and proves to be most innovative.This paper focuses on the base gate, its first use in the compound Water-gate, and analyses the various shifts in meaning it has experienced since then. |
