fossilisation
Significado: The natural process by which the remains or traces of organisms are preserved in rock over geological time, or the figurative process of becoming outdated and rigid.
Fossilisation requires specific conditions — rapid burial, absence of oxygen, and mineralisation of organic material over thousands or millions of years. Only a tiny fraction of organisms that have ever lived become fossils. 'Process of fossilisation,' 'fossilisation of bones,' and 'fossilised remains' are standard collocations. In linguistics, fossilisation describes language errors that become permanently embedded in a learner's speech. Figuratively, the word implies something becoming fixed, rigid, or obsolete.

- Conditions on the ocean floor favoured the fossilisation of the marine creatures whose remains now form the chalk cliffs of Dover. 海底的条件有利于海洋生物遗骸的化石化,这些遗骸如今构成了多佛白崖。Las condiciones del fondo oceánico favorecieron la fosilización de las criaturas marinas cuyos restos forman hoy los acantilados cretácicos de Dover.海底の条件が海洋生物の遺骸の化石化に適しており、それらは今日ドーバーの白い崖を形成している。해저의 조건이 해양 생물 유해의 화석화에 유리했으며, 그 유해는 오늘날 도버의 백악 절벽을 형성하고 있다.
- In second-language acquisition, fossilisation occurs when learners plateau and certain errors become permanently ingrained. 在第二语言习得中,当学习者进步停滞、某些错误永久固化时,就会发生语言石化现象。En la adquisición de segundas lenguas, la fosilización se produce cuando los aprendices se estancan y ciertos errores se arraigan de forma permanente.第二言語習得において、学習者の上達が停滞し特定の誤りが恒久的に定着する現象を化石化と呼ぶ。제2언어 습득에서, 학습자의 발전이 정체되고 특정 오류가 영구적으로 고착되는 현상을 화석화라 한다.
