Vocabulary
do it vs do it all around
Hi there,
I want your help with this:
What is the semantic difference between " do it" and " do it all around "?
It is said that it has the same semantic difference as " stretch it out" & "stretch it out all over".
Is it opposition or the sense of covering all respects? (this is my attempt
)
Thanks in advance

Hi again,
Actually, they are said in isolation like those previously mentioned. The purpose of the exercise is to consider sentences from Ineseno Chumash, a language spoken north of Santa Barbare, California:
Salimexkeken ( he stretches it out )
Nokalkalimexkeken ( I will stretch it out all over )
Seqwel ( He does it )
Keqkeqwel ( I do it all around )
As noticed,

Hi,
I want your help with this:
What is the semantic difference between " do it" and " do it all around "?
The 'all around' perhaps suggests "in a wide area".
It is said that it has the same semantic difference as " stretch it out" & "stretch it out all over".
'All over' again seems to emphasizes a large area.
So this is a Native American language?

Yes. As I am examining more and more examples of different native American languages, I found it very strange how these languages are working and how their speakers could communicate with each other (if they ever had to!)
Thank you Clive so much
