The Blend Trend
English is a dynamic language that is constantly evolving. Many of the words in the English language are derived from ancient Latin and Greek or from other European languages such as German or French. But starting in the 20th century, blended words began to emerge to describe new technologies or cultural phenomena. For instance, as dining out became more popular, many restaurants began serving a new weekend meal in the late morning. It was too late for breakfast and too early for lunch, so someone decided to make a new word that described a meal that was a little bit of both. Thus, "brunch" was born.
As new inventions changed the way people lived and worked, the practice of combining parts of words to make new ones became popular. In the 1920s, as traveling by car became more common, a new kind of hotel that catered to drivers emerged. These "motor hotels" quickly proliferated and became known as "motels." In 1994, when a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel opened, connecting France and Great Britain, it quickly became known as the "Chunnel," a word blend of "Channel" and "tunnel."
New word blends are being created all the time as cultural and technological trends emerge. In 2018, Merriam-Webster added the word "mansplaining" to their dictionary. This blended word, which combines "man" and "explaining," was coined to describe the habit that some men have of explaining things in a condescending manner.

4. 
   From the following sentences, pick out all the blends. Trace their etymology.

d) My head twirls; I did unwisely to come out (G.Meredith).
e) London is a town of rain and smog (D.W.L.).
f) At the door he was met by a very swellegant-looking girl (ibid).
5. Tell the students to find the blended words in different spheres of life: policy, agriculture, cooking, education and etc. The students can use their phones and computers in order to find the words in internet. Discuss the meaning of the words.
6. Small groups work. Make a small presentation on the use of blending. In the textbooks of lexicology blending is given as the non-productive type of word-formation. Nowadays in the modern English there are a lot of words formed with the help of blending. Can we still regard blending as non-productive type of word-formation?
