BOW The bow is the forward part of the hull of a ship or boat‚ the point that is most forward when the vessel is underway. Both of the adjectives fore and forward mean towards the bow. The other end of the boat is the stern. The bow is designed to reduce the resistance of the hull cutting through water and should be tall enough to prevent water from easily washing over the top of it. On slower ships like tankers‚ a fuller bow shape is used to maximise the volume of the ship for a given length.

a) [N]o living word relates to its object in a singular way….The word‚ directed towards its object‚ enters a dialogically agitated and tension-filled environment of alien words‚ value-judgments and accents‚ weaves in and out of complex interrelationships‚ merges with some‚ recoils from others‚ intersects with yet a third group: and all this may crucially shape discourse‚ may leave a trace in all its semantic layers‚ may complicate its expression and influence its entire stylistic profile.
