USAGE:

(1.) В разговорном языке в утвердительных предложениях предпочитается оборот a lot of. В отрицательных предложениях и общих вопросах, как правило, употребляется many (much), а не a lot of. Сочетание not many (not much) соответствует русским словам «мало», «немного». (2.) Со словами, обозначающими отрезки времени, всегда употребляется прилагательное many (а не a lot of): many days (nights, weeks, times, etc). (3.) Русскому словосочетанию слишком много соответствует too many (too much). Русскому словосочетанию вдвое больше соответствует twice as many/much; вдвое меньше — half as many/much. Сочетание how many/much соответствует русскому сколько. (4.) Many в функции определения обычно употребляется с предшествующим ему very: there are very many people there, to have very many friends. Very не обязательно, если many относится к подлежащему: many houses have been built here recently. (5.) See lot, n, USAGE (1.).

Word meaning ● Word meaning changes over time – retain meant take again And now it came to pass that when Zerahemnah had heard these sayings he came forth and delivered up his sword and his cimeter, and his bow into the hands of Moroni, and said unto him: Behold, here are our weapons of war; we will deliver them up unto you, but we will not suffer ourselves to take an oath unto you, which we know that we shall break, and also our children; but take our weapons of war, and suffer that we may depart into the wilderness; otherwise we will retain our swords, and we will perish or conquer. And now when Moroni had said these words, Zerahemnah retained his sword, and he was angry with Moroni, and he rushed forward that he might slay Moroni; but as he raised his sword, behold, one of Moroni’s soldiers smote it even to the earth, and it broke by the hilt; and he also smote Zerahemnah that he took off his scalp and it fell to the earth.

Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis ● Whorf – We dissect nature along lines laid down by our native languages. The categories and types that we isolate from the world of phenomena we do not find there because they stare every observer in the face; on the contrary, the world is presented in a kaleidoscopic flux of impressions which has to be organized by our minds—and this means largely by the linguistic systems in our minds. We cut nature up, organize it into concepts, and ascribe significances as we do, largely because we are parties to an agreement to organize it in this way — an agreement that holds throughout our speech community and is codified in the patterns of our language… all observers are not led by the same physical evidence to the same picture of the universe, unless their linguistic backgrounds are similar, or can in some way be calibrated.
