2. How does a word acquire a new meaning?

By Chloe 21天前 15次浏览 课时31

I'm not sure about this one. Can you explain? 

The question is: How does a word acquire a new meaning?

哦!我在第三章测试题看到了。 

 

Through what ways can a word acquire new meanings?

参*

解答思路:

1. A word can obtain new meanings through rhetorical devices such as metaphor and metonymy.

2. New meanings can arise for technical terms when they are used in nontechnical contexts and vice versa.

3. The multiple meanings of a polysemous word may undergo processes such as generalization, specialization, amelioration, and pejoration.

4. A word may obtain a meaning through clipping as in the case of remote (control).
