Annotation: In this article, semantic change may also occur when native speakers of another language adopt English expressions and apply them to activities or conditions in their own social and cultural environment. Common types of semantic change include amelioration, pejoration, broadening, semantic narrowing, bleaching, metaphor, and metonymy. The categorization of semantic change – that is in this case the ways in which words can change their meanings – used to be the major field of interest in historical linguistics for a long time.
