Description: Contrasts scenes in a modern airport with those from an earlier time to illustrate how the meanings of words change. Outlines the ways meanings can change: old words are adapted to fit new ideas, usage becomes more general or specific, and words may take on a more positive or negative connotation. Shows how these changes may include a shift to a different part of speech. Uses several examples to illustrate each type of change.
