Discover how meanings change and why words take on new shades. This clear guide helps you trace meaning through history and across languages.

Meaning and Change of Meaning offers a thorough look at how we understand words. It covers both the psychology behind meaning and the linguistic rules that shape how words evolve, from everyday speech to complex terminology. The book examines how speakers express and interpret sense, and how context, emotion, and cognition influence understanding.

- Learn the different ways meanings shift, including seven classes of sense-change.
- See how production and comprehension of speech relate to meaning.
- Explore how language contact, analogy, shortening, and nomination reshape words.
- Find concrete examples and cross-language observations that illuminate meaning in English and other tongues.

Ideal for readers of linguistics, lexicography, and the history of language who want a structured view of how meanings arise and transform over time.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating and complex world of how words change meaning over time. The author, a scholar of language, delves into the historical evolution of word meanings, tracing the intricate pathways of semantic shift. Drawing on a wealth of examples from the English language, the book examines how words acquire new meanings through various processes such as substitution, analogy, shortening, nomination, and transfer. The author goes beyond simply cataloging these changes, however, and seeks to understand the underlying psychological and linguistic principles driving them. He carefully analyzes the role of mental processes, such as thought and imagery, in shaping word meanings and the ways these processes interact with the social context of language. This book offers a unique and insightful perspective on the dynamism of language and provides a deeper understanding of how the meanings of words are constantly evolving, shaping our understanding of the world around us.
