Answer 1

The word “pre-war” also is changed in its use.For some time in the past it referred to the time before 1914,but the World War II affected it.Therefore now it tells the time before 1939.For the sake of avoiding confusion we usually use the term “inter-war years” to mean the time between 1918 and 1939.The functions of the word have been expanded too.For a long time it is utilized as an adjective as in the sentence “He made fortune in pre-war years.” It is also taken as an adverb as in sentence “Pre-war he could hardly exist”.
And now we come to a new era,the era of e- and dot com.So we have now a great number of newly coined words that are utilized in our daily life.According to Barnhart Dictionary Companion they can collect 1500-1600 new words yearly.You could almost put an e-to anything that then would be associated with electronic; the most popular one might be e-mail that has already become a part of our life.As Internet is widely accepted people are gradually relying on it.One graduated in an e-school may sit at home engaging in e-lancer economy through e-business while using an e-bank.
All these examples have proved that language is closely related to the society in which it is spoken.The language develops as the society moves forward.Therefore an English learner who has desire to gain a real mastery of the language,is well advised to obtain a general knowledge of the growth of the language and adapt himself to the changing language in the changing society.
