摘要:The theoretical objective of this research is to reveal the conceptual nature of theexistent polysemy in body terms, to confirm the experiential basis for conceptualmetaphor theory, and to develop my own framework for the study polysemous bodyterms.
2.2 Traditional Research Issues
2.2.1 Semantic Change
The study of semantic change is the study of how word meaning changes withthe evolution of language system. It is traditionally perceived as a general mechanismfor the generation of polysemy. Within the study of semantic change, meaning changeof words is studied in a diachronic way in a broad context. Traditional researches identify various types of mechanism for semantic change.Stem (1931) identifies seven types of mechanism for semantic change. They aresubstitution, analogy,shortening,nomination, regular transfer,permutation, andadequation. However, his classification does not neatly distinguish between processesand causes of semantic change. The most widely accepted classification scheme formechanisms of semantic change is suggested by Bloomfield (1933) as followed:narrowing,widening, metaphor, metonymy,synecdoche, hyperbole, meiosis,degeneration, and elevation. More recent researches by Blank (1999) and Grzega(1997) further complete and enlarge the list of mechanisms for semantic change intheir work respectively.Among the various mechanisms for semantic change, metaphor and metonymyare the two most frequently-listed and distinct types of mechanism for generating newmeanings. Bloomfield (1933) regards metaphor as change based on similarity of thingand metonymy as change based on nearness in space or time. For example,"broadcast" originally meant 'to cast seeds out"; however,with the advent of radioand television, the words was extended to indicate the transmission of audio and videosignals. This is how metaphor works in the process of semantic change. Blank (1999)regards metaphor as change based on similarity between concepts and metonymy aschange based on contiguity between concepts. And according to Blank (1999),themotivations which trigger semantic change can be summarized as linguistic forces,psychological forces,sociocultural force, and encyclopedic forces. Earlier researcheson semantic change such as studies of Stem or Bloomfield treat the variousmechanisms as creative forces of language only; but recent trend such as Blank'swork on this subject tend to approach mechanisms of semantic change in a cognitiveway.
