Abstract:

The author researches selected synonyms of ‘skinny’ and ‘fatty’ in the history
of the English language from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. The
method employed in grouping the analytical material has been dictated by the
nature of the processes of semantic change. The author subdivided the quantum
of the analysed lexical items into the following type-groups: zoosemy (animal
metaphor), foodsemy (food metaphor), plantosemy (plant metaphor), metonymy,
reification, eponymy, onomatopoeia, rhyming slang and varia. Surveying a
collection of English dictionaries the author makes an attempt to determine
the status of a given synonym in present-day English.
