This data-oriented study aims at providing an onomasiological
account of the historical synonyms of the term fallen woman from
Old English up to Early Modern English. It focuses on linguistic
mechanisms which are at work in the formation of euphemisms and
dysphemisms semantically linked to the conceptual category Fallen
Woman. Additionally, the book highlights the historical and
cultural variations in the approach to sex relations in different
parts of the world and in different epochs. The cognitive
methodological apparatus is the core of the analytical part of the
work. The results of the axiologically oriented analysis point to
the prevailing tendency of female-specific lexical items to undergo
the process of pejoration with the passage of time.
