Hello!
Well, I think the girls who answered the previous task got really interesting answers.
In sum, "prêmio do seguro" is a specialized term.
We know that there's the expression "insurance money" in English, since we saw it in the text about Katrina, right?
But is there a more specialized term similar to "prêmio do seguro" in English? What would you suggest?
That's what we will try to answer in this task. Just to remind you, Jaque, we are trying to get to best translation for "insurance money" found in the text we were discussing, the one about New Orleans, do u remember?
OK, that's what you have to do:
1 - Enter the Cobuild Website - http://www.collins.co.uk/Corpus/CorpusSearch.aspx
It is a corpus with lots of texts in English.
2 - Search for insurance+money - when we look for two words here we use plus +
Type it in the space: "Type in your query" and click at "show concs".
3 - Search for another expression, a more specialized one in English, similar to "prêmio do seguro" . For example, how do you say "prêmio" in English?
4 - Search only for "insurance" in order to check if there is another expression similar to "prêmio do seguro", ok?
Answer:
a) What are the uses for "insurance money" in English? You can post some examples and comment on them.

Well, its a bit tought for me to understand all of this, but ill try to answer something, right?
I thought about some words that could possibly be used as an alternative for insurance money...
gift, prize, reward...
the onlye one i found is premium as follows the example:
Investors pay a one-off insurance premium of 4 per cent to cover the capital guarantee
i hope this is somehow right :P
