NB1290 / Why does the meaning of a word change? Every day, we live surrounded by an enormous amount of words and symbols and the meaning they represent. This book analyzes the language experience in daily life from the standpoint of "semantics" which is the central field of modern linguistics, and clarifies that the meaning of words is not fixed but changes in various ways depending on the time, culture, and situation. It also explains how the culture and the way of thinking are linked with the semantic structure of language with a wealth of examples. It opens a new world of semantics and republishes long-read monumental works.
