English Historical Semantics
CHRISTIAN KAY AND KATHRYN ALLAN
Providing an ideal introduction to historical semantics, this book offers graduate students
and advanced undergraduate students in linguistics and English Language an accessible
overview of structural and cognitive approaches to English historical semantics. Focusing
primarily on Lexical Semantics, the study of word meaning, the book looks at how these
approaches help to answer two key questions in Historical Linguistics: how and why
languages change.
Considering changes both in the meanings of individual word forms and in larger areas of
the lexicon, English Historical Semantics illustrates how data can be found and analysed, and
explores how Lexical Semantics interacts with other areas of linguistics. In particular, the
book describes in detail two of the most significant resources in this field: the Oxford English
Dictionary and the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary. By using empirical data
to study historical semantics, the book provides students with essential tools to investigate
new words entering the language, and to study language change.
With extended case studies including colour and kinship terms, suggestions for further
reading, and exercises designed to stimulate reflection and test understanding, this textbook
is an invaluable resource and practical guide designed to help students navigate this large
and fascinating field.
