-
Three aspects of semantic
change. -
Causes of semantic change.
-
Nature of semantic change.
Metaphor and metonymy. -
Results of semantic change.
4.1.
Word meanings are liable to change in the process of historical
development
of the language. The semantic structure of a word is never static.
The number of meanings may change, with new meanings being added and
some meaning dropping out; the existing meanings may be rearranged in
the semantic structure.
When speaking about semantic
change, we must distinguish between:
-
the
causes
of semantic change, i.e. the factors bringing it about; we try to
find out why
the word has changed its meaning; -
the
nature
of semantic change; we describe the process of the change and try to
answer the question how
it has been brought about; -
the
results
of semantic change; we try to state what
has been changed.
These are three different but
closely connected aspects of the same problem.
4.2.
The causes,
or factors,
that bring about semantic changes are classified into linguistic
and extralinguistic.
By extralinguistic
causes
we mean various changes in the life of a speech community; changes in
social life, culture, science, technology, economy, etc. as reflected
in word meanings,
e.g. mill
originally was borrowed from Latin in the 1st c. B.C. in the meaning
«a building in which corn is ground into flour». When the
first textile factories appeared in Great Britain it acquired a new
meaning — «a textile factory». The cause of this semantic
change is scientific and technological progress.
Linguistic
causes
are factors that operate within the language system.
They are:
1)
Ellipsis.
In a phrase made up of two words one of them is omitted and its
meaning is transferred to the other one,
e.g. In
OE sterven (MnE to starve) meant “to die, perish». It was
often used in the phrase «sterven of hunger», the second
word was omitted and the verb acquired the new meaning n
die of hunger».
2)
Discrimination
of synonyms,
e.g. In
OE land had two meanings: «1. solid part of Earth’s surface; 2.
the territory of a nation». In ME the word country was borrowed
as a synonym to land. Then the second meaning of land came to be
expressed by country and the semantic structure of land changed.
3)
Linguistic
analogy.
If one member of a synonymic set takes on a new meaning, other
members of the same set may acquire this meaning, too,
e.g.
to catch acquired the meaning «understand»; its synonyms to
get, to qrasp also acquired the same meaning.
-
A
necessary condition of anу
semantic change is some connection or association between the old,
existing meaning and the new one. There are two
main types of association:
-
Similarity
of meaning or metaphor, -
Contiguity
of meaning or metonymy,
i.e. contact, proximity in place or time.
Metaphor
is the semantic process of associating two referents, one of which in
some way resembles the other. Metaphors may be based on similarity of
shape, size,
position, function, etc.
In various languages
metaphoric meanings of words denoting parts of the human body are
most frequent,
e.g. the
eye of a needle «hole in the end of a needle», the neck of
a bottle, the heart of a cabbage — the metaphoric meaning has
developed through similarity of the shape of two objects; the foot of
the hill — this metaphoric change is based on the similarity of
position; the hand of the clock, the Head of the school — the
metaphoric meaning is based on similarity of function.
A special group of metaphors
comprises proper nouns that have become common nouns,
e.g. a
Don Juan — «a lady-killer» , a vandal — «one who
destroys property, works of art» (originally «Germanic
tribe that in the 4th-5th c. ravaged Gaul, Spain, N. Africa, and
Rome, destroying many books and works of art»).
Metonymy
is a semantic process of associating two referents which are somehow
connected or linked in time or space. They may be connected because
they often appear in the same situation,
e.g. bench
has developed the meaning «judges» because it was on
benches that judges used to sit,
or the association may be of
material and an object made of it, etc.,
e.g. silver
– 1) certain .precious metal; 2) silver coins; 3) cutlery; 4)
silver medal,
or they may be associated
because one makes part of the other,
e.g.
factory/farm
hands «workers» (because strong, skillful hands are the
most important part of a person engaged in physical labour).
Common nouns may be derived
from proper names through metonymic transference,
e.g.
Wellingtons
«high boots covering knees in front» (from the 1st Duke of
Wellington, Br. general and statesman, who introduced them in
fashion).
4.4.
Results of semantic change may be observed in the changes of the
denotative component
and the
connotative component
of word meaning.
1) Changes
of the denotative component are of two types:
-
broadening
(or generalization,
= widening, = extension)
of
meaning,
i.e. the range of the new meaning is broader, the word is applied to
a wider range of referents,
e.g. to
arrive, borrowed from French, originally meant «to come to
shore, to land». In MnE it has developed a broader meaning «to
come». Yankee – 1) a native of New England (originally); 2) a
citizen of the USA (now).
(b) narrowing
(or specialization,
= restriction)
of
meaning.
The word comes to denote a
more limited range of referents, fewer types of them,
e.g. meat
in OE meant «any food», now it means «flesh of animals
used as food» (i.e. some special food); in OE hound meant «a
dog», now it is «a dog of special breed used in chasing
foxes».
As a
special group, we can mention proper
names derived from common nouns,
e.g. the
Border — between Scotland and England,
the
Tower — the museum in London.
2) Changes
in the connotative component of meaning are also of two types:
(a)
degeneration
(or degradation,
= deterioration)
of
meaning,
i.e. a word develops a meaning with a negative evaluative connotation
which was absent in the first meaning,
e.g. silly
«happy» (originally) — «foolish» (now);
(b)
elevation
(or amelioration)
of
meaning,
i.e. the first meaning has a negative connotation and the new one has
not,
e.g. nice
originally «foolish» — now «fine, good».
In other cases the new meaning
acquires positive connotation absent in the original meaning,
e.g. knight
«manservant» (originally) — «noble, courageous man»
(now)
The terms elevation and
degeneration of meaning are inaccurate as we actually deal not with
elevation or degradation of meanings but of referents.

Generalization, Specialization, Amelioration, and Pejoration
Updated on October 05, 2018
Stick around long enough and you’ll notice that language changes—whether you like it or not. Consider this recent report from columnist Martha Gill on the redefinition of the word literally:
It’s happened. Literally the most misused word in the language has officially changed definition. Now as well as meaning «in a literal manner or sense; exactly: ‘the driver took it literally when asked to go straight over the traffic circle,'» various dictionaries have added its other more recent usage. As Google puts it, «literally» can be used «to acknowledge that something is not literally true but is used for emphasis or to express strong feeling.» . . .
«Literally,» you see, in its development from knock-kneed, single-purpose utterance, to swan-like dual-purpose term, has reached that awkward stage. It is neither one nor the other, and it can’t do anything right.»
(Martha Gill, «Have We Literally Broken the English Language?» The Guardian [UK], August 13, 2013)
Changes in word meanings (a process called semantic shift) happen for various reasons and in various ways. Four common types of change are broadening, narrowing, amelioration, and pejoration. (For more detailed discussions of these processes, click on the highlighted terms.)
- Broadening
Also known as generalization or extension, broadening is the process by which a word’s meaning becomes more inclusive than an earlier meaning. In Old English, for instance, the word dog referred to just one particular breed, and thing meant a public assembly. In contemporary English, of course, dog can refer to many different breeds, and thing can refer to, well, anything. - Narrowing
The opposite of broadening is narrowing (also called specialization or restriction), a type of semantic change in which a word’s meaning becomes less inclusive. For example, in Middle English, deer could refer to any animal, and girl could mean a young person of either sex. Today, those words have more specific meanings. - Amelioration
Amelioration refers to the upgrading or rise in status of a word’s meaning. For example, meticulous once meant «fearful or timid,» and sensitive meant simply «capable of using one’s senses.» - Pejoration
More common than amelioration is the downgrading or depreciation of a word’s meaning, a process called pejoration. The adjective silly, for instance, once meant «blessed» or «innocent,» officious meant «hard working,» and aggravate meant to «increase the weight» of something.
What’s worth keeping in mind is that meanings don’t change over night. Different meanings of the same word often overlap, and new meanings can co-exist with older meanings for centuries. In linguistic terms, polysemy is the rule, not the exception.
«Words are by nature incurably fuzzy,» says linguist Jean Aitchison in the book Language Change: Progress Or Decay. In recent years, the adverb literally has become exceptionally fuzzy. In fact, it has slipped into the rare category of Janus words, joining terms like sanction, bolt, and fix that contain opposite or contradictory meanings.
Martha Gill concludes that there’s not much we can do about literally. The awkward stage that it’s going through may last for quite some time. «It is a moot word,» she says. «We just have to leave it up in its bedroom for a while until it grows up a bit.»
