I'm of the opinion that it enriches one's language, even in mathematics, to keep all of the meanings of one's words in mind. | |
| May 15, 2010 at 13:32 | comment | added | JS Milne | I've quite often seen the English word "motif" (meaning A distinctive, significant, or dominant idea or theme...) written "motive", which is one reason I chose as the title of LNM 900 "Hodge cycles, Motives,..." (at the time both "motive" and "motif" were in use in English). I would prefer to say that the French word "motif" has been borrowed three times into English, and twice anglicized. | |
