Getting started
Look at the pictures and discuss the questions.
2. How do we learn about the past
We can learn about the past by studying written records like letters and official documents, examining artifacts through archaeology, gathering oral histories from individuals who lived through certain times, exploring family histories, analyzing artworks and cultural artifacts, using scientific methods like carbon dating, and comparing different cultures and periods.
By combining these methods, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of history.

polysemy /p l s mi/ n. 一詞多義
Polysemy is a linguistic phenomenon where a single word or phrase has multiple related meanings or senses. These different meanings are typically connected by extensions of the original meaning, often through metaphorical, metonymic, or other semantic processes.
Word Study: Word meaning --- Chameleon words
polysemy /p l s mi/ n. 一詞多義
For example, the word “bank” can mean:
1. A financial institution (e.g., “I went to the bank to deposit money”).

3. An elevated area of ground (e.g., “The soil was piled up in a bank”).

These meanings are “related” but distinct, and they illustrate how language evolves to express new concepts while retaining connections to the original idea.
Polysemy is common in natural languages and reflects the flexibility and creativity of human communication.
