The author researches selected synonyms of 'skinny' and 'fatty' in
the history of the English language from the perspective of
cognitive linguistics. The method employed in grouping the
analytical material has been dictated by the nature of the
processes of semantic change. The author subdivided the quantum of
the analysed lexical items into the following type-groups: zoosemy
(animal metaphor), foodsemy (food metaphor), plantosemy (plant
metaphor), metonymy, reification, eponymy, onomatopoeia, rhyming
slang and varia. Surveying a collection of English dictionaries the
author makes an attempt to determine the status of a given synonym
in present-day English.
