I started my new Open University course this weekend, and I already have an assignment to work on! :-/ Basically, I have to post something up to my tutor group's online forum by October 19th. This is my brief:
I've been wracking my brain (which, yes, hurt quite a bit...) to come up with something I could write about, and I think I have something. So I was wondering if you guys could give me a hand...
What do you understand by the word 'cwtch'? Have you ever heard of it, and what do you think it means?
(And please, please don't google it first - though of course you're more than welcome to do so afterwards *grins*)
Your help would be very, very much appreciated. :-)
I'm still not entirely sure what they're looking for in this assignment, but we've our first tutorial on Saturday. Hopefully that'll clarify things.
Your message should cover a mini-investigation into one of the following topics:
a) a word or expression in a non-standard dialect of English from your own area or other personal expertise.
b) a new English word or expression (or a new sense of an existing word or expression)
c) a word or expression that has become extinct or highly archaic in the English language.
