The book offers a novel exploration into the semantic development
of English terms concerning the concept of 'joy' ("bliss", "cheer",
"delight", "dream", "game", "gladness", "glee", "joy", and
"mirth"). The analysis, carried out within the framework of
cognitive and historical linguistics, employs the notions of
cognitive domains, profiling, and categorisation. The author adopts
a panchronic perspective, according to which language reflects the
way speakers experience the world. This allows her to provide a new
insight into the intrinsic nature of semantic change.
