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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSemantic field – Diachrony – Cognitive linguistics – Cognitive domains – Semantic change – Panchrony – ‘Joy’ terms – Semantic Fields and Diachrony – Cognitive Linguistics and Panchrony – Panchrony and English ‘Joy’ Vocabulary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044336566615,"sku":"9783631669198","price":46.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631669198.jpg?v=1750961300","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/english-joyful-vocabulary-semantic-developments-9783631669198","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
