Dear linguist members,
 
I am interested in comparable X-ray pictures of German and
English articulation.

Subject: Re: big vs. large, et al
 
I would appreciate any thoughts on any differences in meaning between big and
large as well as small and little.  I am attempting a monosemic approach (at
the insistance of the professor) which maintains that each word must have one
meaning.  We tell ESL students that they mean the same thing, yet we
constantly correct their choices because they don't use the right one.  How
can we tell them to use the right one if we can't tell them what the right
one is?
Any answers or thoughts on the subject would be appreciated.
My email address is BrownDeb at aol.com, or if you think anyone else would be
interested, the multiple recipients address [linguist at tamvm1.tamu.edu] is
good.  Thanks in advance.
