Dish or plate? English vocabulary and prototype theory - Duration: 8:55.
We had a great question from a viewer called Aurum last week.
Aurum asked what's the difference between a dish and a plate?
Some languages have only one word.
A dish is a container or bowl.
It's usually pretty shallow, so not very deep.
We serve food from a dish and sometimes we cook food in it too.
But sometimes a dish is a particular type of food that's served as part of a meal.
Like a fish dish or a pasta dish.
A plate is flat and usually round.
We put our food on it and eat from it.
And in American English, a plate can also be a whole main course of a meal.
But not in British English.
No?
No.
Aurum's question looked simple, but when you go deeper, it's quite tricky.
There are lots more words like this.
Let's look at some.
What do we call this in our house, Jay?
This is a mug.
And why do we call it a mug?
Because it has a handle and I drink coffee out of it.
OK.
What's the difference between a mug and a cup?
Well a mug doesn't have a saucer and it's taller.
OK.
Then what's this?
Well, this is what we call your coffee cup.
Cup!
But it doesn't have a saucer and it's tall.
Yes, but it has curved sides and mugs have straight sides.
So we call this a cup because it has curved sides.
OK, what's this?
This is a bowl.
And what's this?
That's a bowl too.
So size doesn't matter.
Well size always matters but in this case what's important is that they have curved
sides.
OK.
What's this?
That's a bowl.
But it has straight sides.
Yeah, but it's a bowl.
It isn't a mug?
No.
Cups and mugs have handles and bowls don't.
OK.
So this isn't a bowl?
Yes, I'd call that a bowl because it's bigger than a cup.
But you just said size doesn't matter for bowls.
OK.
What about this?
It's a bowl.
And not a plate, right?
No, plates are flat.
Bowls are deeper like that.
But it's also a dish.
Why?
Well, we share food from it.
If we share food from it, it's a dish.
So it's a bowl and a dish.
Yes!
Wow!
That was confusing!
Yes.
It's because the meaning of words often overlap with other words.
Another meaning starts before one meaning has finished.
So we call this a cup, but we could also call it a mug.
It's part cup and part mug.
Exactly.
The boundaries between the words are fuzzy.
There's no clear dividing line between their meanings.
Are there more words like this?
Oh yes, lots.
What about the word game?
What does game mean?
You mean a board game like Monopoly, or a card game like poker?
Yes.
Or a game like football or tennis.
Or computer games.
Or the Olympic Games.
What do they all have in common?
Well there's competition.
We compete against another person or another team.
If it's a game we can win or lose.
But there's also the game of patience.
We call that solitaire.
It's a card game you play on your own.
And what if a child throws a ball against a wall?
It's a game, but it's not a competition.
OK.
Is it that games are all amusing and fun?
Well, that's often true, but some games are quite serious like chess, or war games.
Is it about skill?
We need to learn and practice a game to play well – like chess or football?
They require skill.
Skill can be important, but in some games, you can win by chance.
Like roulette or bingo.
You don't need skill to win them.
So there are different features of the word 'game': competitive, amusing, skillful.
But we don't need all the features to call something a game.
Exactly.
The meanings of words are often a group of ideas that are similar.
But they don't all have to be true for the meaning to work.
They just have to have a family resemblance.
OK.
Here's a big question.
What does this mean if you're learning English?
It means words you have in your language might not match English words exactly.
They could be similar in some ways but different in others.
Because the word boundaries might be different.
That's right.
And there's some interesting research about that.
In the 1970s a psychologist, called Eleanor Rosch, ran some experiments on prototypes.
A prototype is a typical example of something.
For example, she showed people lots of dogs and asked them what's the doggiest dog for
you?
A sheep dog, a bull dog, a collie, a dachshund, a Pekingese?
So she wasn't asking what dogs people liked.
She was asking what kind of dog is most typical of all dogs.
She asked the same question about lots of different categories of things.
For example birds, vegetables, toys, pieces of furniture.
And she discovered two things.
The first one was people kept ranking things in the same way.
Their answers were very consistent.
For example, most people thought a chair was the best example of a piece of furniture and
a lamp wasn't very good.
And the second thing Eleanor discovered was very curious.
People believed the words must share some common features.
So for example, they'd look at different birds and say they're birds because they
can all fly.
But a penguin can't fly and an ostrich can't fly.
Flying is a common feature of birds but it's not a necessary feature.
People kept looking for necessary features that don't exist.
So things in her categories shared some features, but not all of them.
Yeah, and the things that shared the most features were the best prototypes.
It was like the word 'game'.
Different games have some features in common, but they don't share all of them.
Our brains want to think that words fit neatly into categories and that there are clear boundaries
where one word stops and another begins.
But that's not how it works.
The meanings of words are fuzzy at the edges.
You can't always separate them with clear lines.
And this is something that's true for all languages.
I have a question.
What's that?
What's the birdiest bird for you?
Oh it's the robin.
Definitely.
For me it's the sparrow.
Really?
But robins are such a common bird.
But in the UK, the most common bird is a sparrow.
Wow.
So maybe we have different ideas of what a bird is.
And maybe you have different ideas about birds, or what dishes and plates are.
Write and tell us in the comments if you do.
And if you've enjoyed this video, please share it with a friend.
And Aurum, thank you for a great question.
See you all next week everyone.
Bye-bye.
Bye.

Coleen Rooney's body transformation - how a simple change of thinking reshaped her figure - Duration: 3:40.
She's so devoted to fitness that she had a spin-class themed baby shower before the birth of her youngest son Cass
But a love of exercise doesn't come naturally to Coleen Rooney, who admits she works out, "because I feel I have to
" "I'm naturally curvy and short and there's nothing I can do to make my legs longer, so I just have to work with what I've got and make the best of it," she said in 2017
"I've never loved exercise, but I've always done it because I feel I have to. "There are some people who are naturally slim, no matter what they eat, but it's not like that for me
If I eat and eat, I put weight on, so I have to be stricter." So how did the mother-of-four overcome her aversion to exercise and what does she do to stay in such great shape? Read More Coleen Rooney to land '£70m' in divorce if she dumps Wayne over his boozing Instead of fighting the gym, she learned to love it and does two-hour sessions three to four times a week
She mixes up her workouts, alternating between kettlebells, Power Plates, boxing and spinning
Coleen revealed back in 2013 how she was having "3D lipo" to lose her post-baby weight , with the non-invasive treatment that uses a special device to freeze fat layers beneath the skin
However, with each child she's had, Coleen said the pressure she puts on herself has lessened
Read More Wayne Rooney 'told pals divorce from Coleen would be a relief but devastating' "The more children I've had, I've been in less of a rush to get back in shape because after three births, your body is going to change," she told Now magazine
"I think once you've had kids, they're more important than how you look. It's not the end of the world – you just have to be confident
" She added: "After having kids, if you've got a bit of a wobbly belly that's just part and parcel of who you are
" Meanwhile, t he WAG is currently fighting to save her marriage after reportedly ordering footballer husband Wayne, 33, into rehab
His boozy antics are said to have become too much for Coleen, who stands to gain a huge chunk of his £100 million fortune if they divorce
The pair have been together since school and have four children together. Previous reports have suggested Coleen could walk away with as much as £70 million if she decides to take Wayne to the cleaners
After the most recent bust-up with Wayne , Coleen has been pictured without her wedding ring - fuelling rumours she is considering walking away from the marriage
Despite being repeatedly tested by her husband Coleen has always bounced back. In the past she's forgiven Wayne for his misdeeds and has turned her attention to raising their four sons, Kai, nine, Klay, five, Kit, three, Cass, who has just turned one
And since her first appearance in her school uniform to her glamorous life of red carpet events, Coleen's appearance has certainly evolved over the years
