What does "fossilized" mean in this sentence?
Also, there is the underlying analogy of "man's best friend", which has been fossilized into the singular.
i am just a student...
i don't know if this is the same case but fossilized my mean "strongly fixed"...
"that memories are fossilized in my mind"...
regards
Fossils are creatures that have turned to stone over time. So fossilized language is language that has become fixed.
