* Some grammar sources traditionally categorize English into 8 parts of speech. Other say 10. At EnglishClub, we use the more recent categorization of 9 parts of speech. Examples of other categorizations are:
  • Verbs may be treated as two different parts of speech:
    • lexical Verbs (work, like, run)
    • auxiliary Verbs (be, have, must)
  • Determiners may be treated as adjectives, instead of being a separate part of speech.

COGNATE WORDS

Prof.REIDY HERRERA
UDO.MONAGAS
UNIT: II

COGNATES


In linguistics, cognates are words that have a common etymological origin.In etymology, the cognate category excludesdoublets and loanwords. The word cognate derives from the Latin noun cognatus, which means "blood relative".

SOME EXAMPLES OF COGNATES IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH:

English
Spanish
family
familia
center
centro
radio
radio
class
clase
desert
desierto
magic
magia
gorilla
gorila

False cognates


      False cognates are words that people commonly believe are related (have a common origin), but that linguistic examination reveals are unrelated. For example, on the basis of superficial similarities, the Latin verb habēre and German haben, both meaning 'to have', appear to be cognates. However, because of the way words in the two languages evolved from Proto-Indo-European (PIE) roots, they cannot be cognate (see for example Grimm's law). German haben, like English have, comes from PIE *kh₂pyé- 'to grasp', and its real cognate in Latin is capere, 'to seize, grasp, capture'. Latin habēre, on the other hand, is from PIE *gʰabʰ, 'to give, to receive', and hence cognate with English give and German geben.
Likewise, English much and Spanish mucho look similar and have a similar meaning but are not cognates, as they evolved from different roots: much from Proto-Germanic *mikilaz < PIE *meǵ- and mucho from Latin multum < PIE *mel-.
SOME EXAMPLES :

English
Spanish
globe
globo (balloon)
pie
pie (foot)
rope
ropa (clothes)
soap
sopa (soup or pasta)
large
largo (long)
exit
éxito (success)

FOOD TECHNOLOGIST: JOB DESCRIPTION

Food technologist: job description

Food technologists are responsible for the safe and efficient development, modification and manufacture of food products and processes.
What does a food technologist do? Typical employers |Qualifications and training | Key skills
Food technologists plan the manufacture of food and drink products and can work in a wide range of settings, including kitchens, factories, laboratories and offices. Consequently, specific responsibilities vary greatly but may include:
  • generating new product ideas and recipes
  • modifying and improving existing recipes
  • designing processes and machinery for the production of recipes on a large scale
  • liaising with marketing staff
  • ensuring that strict hygiene food safety standards are met
  • identifying and choosing products from suppliers
  • monitoring the use of additives
  • testing and examining samples
  • writing reports
You can find out more about this job role by reading our overview of product technology and food technology

Typical employers

Employers of food technologists include food manufacturing and retail companies, universities, government organisations and specialist research associations/consultancies.
Opportunities are advertised by careers services and recruitment agencies, and in newspapers and specialist publications including Food Manufacture, both online and in print. Early applications are advisable to larger employers. Speculative applications are also recommended, for which directories such as theIngredients Network may be useful.
There are reasonable opportunities for advancement into senior technologist/managerial positions, providing that employees are able to change employer or to relocate if necessary.

Qualifications and training required

There are routes into a food technology career for both university graduates and school leavers. Graduates will need a degree in an appropriate subject, such as food science/technology, food/chemical engineering, biochemistry, nutrition, microbiology or chemistry. Possession of a food-related postgraduate qualification can be beneficial, particularly for candidates without a relevant first degree. Job shadowing, networking and vacation placements can be helpful, and candidates possessing food industry work experience are often at an advantage. Experience can be gained via food production line employment or by working as a technician.
As a school leaver, you could get into this career through an apprenticeship or an entry-level role. Unilever, for example, offers a research and development higher apprenticeship, working on its food and drink products. To find out more about how you can get into this career via a school leaver route (eg an apprenticeship or school leaver training programme) see the science section of TARGETcareers, our website aimed at school leavers.
