📖 故事文本
Emma: Hey Jake, I was reading about how the coastline shapes local languages. It’s really fascinating!
Jake: Really? I’ve always been somewhat skeptical about how geography influences linguistics.
Emma: It’s true though! For example, coastal communities often develop metaphoric expressions tied to the sea.
Jake: That makes sense. Certain traits of coastal life could influence speech patterns.
Emma: Exactly! The coastline can be a source of unique vocabulary. Have you heard some of these terms?
Jake: I haven’t. What are some examples?
Emma: Words like 'shore' or 'tide' take on additional meanings in their contexts.
Jake: That's interesting. I see how the marine environment could inspire such metaphors.
Emma: Yes, and it’s a great example of how language evolves. Each coastline has its linguistic traits.
Jake: It’s amazing to think about. I might have to look further into the relationship between geography and language.
