Citazioni 

Innovations which change the lexical meaning rather than the grammatical function of a form are classed as 'change of meaning' or 'semantic change'.
- Bloomfield (1935), a pag.425

The first student to see that semantic change consists of expansion and obsolescence, was Hermann Paul.
- Bloomfield (1935), a pag.431

A semantic change, then, is a complex process. It involves favorings and disfavorings, and, as its crucial point, the extension of a favored form into practical applications which hitherto belonged to the disfavored form.
- Bloomfield (1935), a pag.441
