Abstract:

This volume explores the synergy between historical and cognitive
linguistics, demonstrating how the two can jointly shed light on
patterns of language change. Focusing on figurative language,
particularly metaphor and metonymy, it features a range of case
studies that zoom in on the emergence and evolution of meaning across
time, with chapters addressing, among other topics, diachronic changes
in the semantics of nouns (e.g. for emotions) and speech act verbs.
Beyond lexical and grammatical change, the volume engages with broader
issues such as belief systems, the conceptualization of the future,
intersubjectification, etymology, and prototype theory. The
contributors employ a variety of theoretical and methodological
frameworks, including diachronic morphology, cultural history, and
both exploratory and confirmatory statistics. Together, these studies
exemplify the potential of interdisciplinary approaches and invite
further dialogue on the tools and theories suited to tracing the
evolution of figurative thought and language over time.
