THANK YOU - semantic field question
 
Dear friends,

I �ve been away & have just read all your answers!

THANKS so much to you all, it �s much clearer for me now!:)

I meant : same root (same semantic field) but did not know how to phrase  the question.

Thanks again!:) HugHugHug

Have a great evening!:)

Marie-H�l�ne, sorry, but �same root � is not the same as �same semantic field �.  If it �s just the root ( �ghost �) you �re concentrating on, then you might ask your students to come up with as many different words and phrases they can think of that contain the word �ghost � (ghostly, ghost-writer, ghosting, deghosting etc).

On the other hand, I thought quite a few people had posted sensible alternatives to what might be construed as a bit of a jargon phrase - where �semantic field � could be replaced with �related � and �associated �, for example.

Thanks! Indeed, I think their alternatives were better than my 1st idea!
thanks again to all of you!:)
