Module 15: Mouth and oral

In English, noun and adjective of the same semantic field are often dissociated, i.e. they do not correspond in form, although they correspond in meaning, e.g.mouth oral (as opposed to German Mund mündlich). Sometimes things are complicated by the fact that various adjectives coexist, but we will first be concerned with the pattern mouth oral. Try completing the table below:

 

noun adjective
mouth oral
king
