Names
Words do not
exist alone. Words have connotations and associations above and beyond
their literal meaning.
Sometimes these
connotations are related to the origin of the word, sometimes because
of who uses the word or where it is commonly used.
Select names
from the following list and answer these questions:
a) what is the origin or meaning of each name?
b) what associations are suggested by each name?
c) How does each name help to give an image to the caravan?
d) How do the connotations and associations you find with these caravan
names differ from the connotations relating to
car names and 4x4
names?
