This book provides an introduction to the theory and methods of
historical semantics. It gives a survey of the most important types
of semantic innovation (metaphor, metonymy etc.), it describes
typical paths and results of semantic change (polysemy, competition
of lexical units, shifts of prototypical meaning), and it presents
historical case studies on various fields of German vocabulary
(from speech act verbs to forms of address). The book is designed
for readers with no background knowledge of semantics and can be
used for seminar discussion or self-study. It contains extensive
exercises and suggestions for further reading.
