Semantic Antics: How and Why Words Change Meaning
U.S.A: Random House 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Good. Type: Ex-Library First Printing. Hardcover Ex-Lib Book and Dust Jacket in Good Condition. Except for minimal library marks the book is clean unmarked no wear to extremities internals pristine. Dust jacket has lib sticker is clean and unmarked appears lightly rubbed under mylar cover no wear to extremities unclipped. Many common English words had different meanings at different times in history. Changes in meaning make language flexible but how do they take on new meanings This book explores how this happens. The study of meanings and changes of meaning that words undergo is called "semantics" and the study of the origins of words is "etymology". For example "litter" as we know it is scattered rubbish trash. Originally before 1300 the word meant a "bed" and was borrowed through Old French "litiere" from Latin "lectus: a bed. Then its meaning became extended to "a bedding esp one made of straw and rushes" and then to linclude straw litter for the stable and then to a litter of pups and so on. This is how words evolve their meaning is expanded made more specific transferred influenced by psychological reasons historical reasons foreign influences etc. Most interesting. Include A-Z entires Glossary of Names and Terms Sources About the Author. xiii plus 273 pages. 7.5 x 5 inches. Random House new York 2008. Random House hardcover
