Abstract

The book deals with changes in words meanings – and especially, the regularities therein – as exemplified by selected Proto-Slavic-derived adjectives denoting human traits, whose semantic development has been analysed since their emergence in the Proto-Slavic period until today. The observed regularities served as the basis for an outline dictionary of semantic motivations, which might be useful when considering etymologies of other (not just Slavic) words from this conceptual field. The book features an extensive theoretical introduction, discussing: the rules of establishing meanings in a proto-language, works devoted to semantic reconstruction of languages, and parallels in semantic development.
