| William Shakespeare, the donator of words to English |
In every language vocabulary, coupled with other rules of grammar,
plays major role in producing an effective piece of writing. Apart from that,
using different –yet appropriate – words make a person a brilliant and
persuasive speaker. The more a person is good in playing with the words is the
more in convincing people to his contentions. The same principle applies to
English language as well. We very often, while speaking or writing words, do
not realize who and how the very word came into existence. As a matter of fact,
words and languages came into existence after an evolution process. Many men ofletter make their contribution in enriching any language with a waste treasure
of words. Among these great people, William Shakespeare has invented more than
100 words in English language and many of these words are the most common in
usage. In the following we have selected these 15 words for which Shakespeare
is credited with invention and which are the most common in use, if not indispensable
for the language. Have a look at these words and pay gratitude to Shakespeare
for these –and many more – words. You will, then, realize that Shakespeare did not only contributed English literature with his magnificent dramas but he also contributed significantly to the treasure of vocabulary.
2- Advertising
Advertisement has always been playing a great role in enhancement of any trade and business but in our time it has become one of the most –if not the most –important key factors in the success of any business. Means literally “the act of practice of calling public attention towards any product, service or need etc., William Shakespeare used the word ‘advertising’ in his play “Measure for Measure” which was written in 1603 or 1604. In the scene of the play Shakespeare quotes Duke Vincentio saying;
“Your friar is now your prince: as I was then ‘advertising’ and holy to your business, not changing heart with habit, I am still attorney'd at your service”.
