Semantic entry: 23.52

Semantic domains: Physiological Processes and States

Definition: to give birth to a child{N:001}

Notes: All languages have expressions for human birth, though these are frequently in idiomatic forms, for example, ‘to drop a child’ or ‘to cause a baby to pass between the legs.’ A number of languages have a variety of terms referring to giving birth, and some of these may involve unfortunate connotations. One must therefore be careful about the selection of appropriate expressions.
