Every word is an old object that has travelled, changed form and sometimes changed meaning. Tracing its lineage is an investigation \u2014 complete with evidence, hypotheses and false leads. This printable digital exercise workbook is built like a real case file: a situation to analyse, evidence to use and ten challenges that draw on all the information provided. Nothing is decorative \u2014 every exercise contributes to the progression of the file.<\/p>\n
