The word "masticate" appears in literature both in its literal sense and as a tool for broader metaphorical or conceptual illustration. For example, in Frazer's work, the term is used to underscore a primal deficiency in behavior among certain people, implying that they need assistance even with the basic act of chewing, thereby symbolizing a lack of development or sophistication [1]. In contrast, the usage in the Spanish reader serves as a straightforward lexical reference, illustrating the word’s translation and integral presence in language learning as part of linguistic instruction [2].
